Intel would have manipulated the benchmark data shown for the Core i9 9900K

It appears that Intel has deliberately manipulated the Core i9 9900K benchmarks to achieve a noticeable performance difference from the Ryzen 7 2700X.

Yesterday the new Intel Coffee Lake Refresh and Skylake-X processors were presented where we saw the data of the new processors as well as some synthetic benchmark by the company. These new processors according to the company are above the AMD Ryzen 2000 Series. The data was quickly scrutinized and reports have started to be reported that the data is erroneous or misleading because the settings would be tampered with and AMD processors would run with suboptimal settings.

Has Intel manipulated the benchmarks of the presentation of the Core i9 9900K?

It appears that the company paid Principled Technologies, a company that performs third-party benchmarks to get better performance data from the Core i9 9900K over the Ryzen 7 2700X, without both chips being tested and the data released.

According to the Principled Technologies data a low quality configuration has been used for the Ryzen 7 2700X using all four RAM DIMMs. It appears that they manipulated the frequencies to run only at 2.933MHz allowing the BIOS to detect the motherboard at extremely high memory times to stabilize the memory frequencies.

In the case of the Core i9 9900K, I would be working with special XMP profiles with the Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR4-3000 memory kit operating at higher frequencies and with optimized latencies. This offers you a significant performance improvement over AMD processors. It should be noted that the Ryzen depend a lot on the frequencies of the memories because the frequencies of the DRAM are synchronized with the Infinity Fabric that makes the communication frequency of the two internal components of the chip adjust.

Not only that, the 1080p resolution settings on the Ashes of the Singularity were at medium graphics quality in order to get manipulated performance that benefits Intel. Hardware Unboxed checked the configurations with the Core i7 8700K and Ryzen 7 2700X and the benchmarks have been quite different and that can pose a problem for the Core i9 9900K.

The tests would indicate that the benchmark data for the Core i9 9900K is not what has been said and that the frame rate of the Ryzen 7 2700X is 18% higher than assured. The Assassin's Creed Origins data would also have been tampered with where the data offered by Principled Technologies for the Core i7 8700K is up to 36% more powerful than the Ryzen 7 2700X, but is actually only 8% faster.

When the reviews start to jump we will see if this is true or if it is a manipulation, but anyway, we always say that you have to wait to see the reviews because the ones offered by the manufacturers are usually made up.
