Intel's Core i9-10980XE is unable to beat the AMD Ryzen 9 3950X, despite having more cores

The Intel Core i9-10980XE processor crashes in reviews, being unable to beat the Ryzen 9 3950X, despite having more cores.

Currently in the hardware world there is only one technology that we could call obsolete: Intel's 14nm. AMD this year has gotten rid of GCN and only the 14nm lithography remains as expired technology. Kaby Lake and Skylake were great, Coffee Lake had a pass, but from then on, they have gone under. The clearest example is the Core i9-10980XE.

The first reviews of the processor Core i9-10980XE make it clear that this processor does not make the slightest sense. And it makes less sense when compared to the Ryzen 3000 and Threadripper processors. Processors with more cores lose against AMD processors, which are a much better solution.

Intel can't handle the Ryzen 9 3950X

A few weeks ago Intel presented the accounts for the third quarter of 2019, which left two interesting data. The first that they had had the quarter with the highest income in their history. As a second data, a loss of income in the market of domestic processors of 5%. The origin is simple: they have more demand than production capacity and the prices and performance of the Ryzen are unbeatable.

Now with the first reviews we see of the Core i9-10980XE, we see that the 14nm does not give more of itself. This processor has 18 cores and 36 threads, which is great for a Workstation. The processor works at a base frequency of 3.0GHz and can go in Boost mode on all cores at 4.6GHz. The two best cores can go up to 4.8GHz. Has a L3 Cache of 24.75MB

Core i9-1090XE

But this bulk of Intel can't handle the 9-core, 3950-thread Ryzen 16 32X. The AMD processor works at a base frequency of 3.5GHz and in Boost mode it reaches 4.7GHz. One of the great advantages is that it has 8MB of L2 cache and 64MB of L3 cache, more than triple that of the Intel processor.
