The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X processor sneaks into the top fifteen processors in the 3DMark benchmark, with a bit of overclocking and four NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti.
A few days ago we echoed the beautiful story behind the development of AMD Ryzen Threadripper processors, a story that tells of some engineers who worked in their spare time to develop these processors. The story may be true, but it sounds a bit like marketing. Leaving this aside, the new Threadripper processors aim high, so much so that the Threadripper 1950X has crept into the top 15 processors on HWbot, the specialized website where benchmark results are uploaded and validated.
It is a milestone that the Finnsk3 user has managed to put this processor on this list, since Intel processors are the lords and masters of this ranking. To make this possible in addition to the Threadripper 1950X, four graphics cards have been used [amazon_textlink asin = 'B06XXC4J6T' text = 'Gigabyte GTX 1080 Ti' template = 'ProductLink' store = 'hardwa028-21 ′ marketplace =' ES 'link_id =' e68b61cb -9478-11e7-9341-f566708cdb67 ′], 32GB G.Skill RAM working at a frequency of 3600MHz and the ASUS X399 Zenith Extreme motherboard. This processor operated at a frequency of 4.17GHz, which indicates that it has undergone overclocking, but yes, a normal heatsink has been used, no liquid nitrogen or dry ice. This processor has obtained a result of 24042 points.
It is only seven points behind the Intel Core i9 7900X, Intel's ten-core processor. This processor has scored 24049 points, but yes, in the case of this processor working at a frequency of 4.7GHz and a 4-Way SLI from NVIDIA Titan Xp. These small differences have put the Intel processor ahead of AMD's. It should be noted that despite the OC and the graphics, it is a milestone, since the Intel processor has eight fewer cores than the Ryzen Threadripper 1950X processor. Nice battle between processors, no doubt.
Looking a bit in this ranking, we can find a benchmark with parameters similar to those used in the Threadripper 1950X. With the Core i9 7900X running at 3.3GHz and four NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti graphics cards, it has scored 22770 points. We see that overclocking and more powerful graphics cards give better results than without the OC and with slightly lower graphics (although the GTX 1080 Ti has OC at 2100MHz.
