Info Gaming Showdown 9950X3D vs. 285K

If they wanted to include some tests that would tilt a bit towards Intel’s favour, I guess they could have included tests for e.g. Idle power consumption, iGPU performance, and MT perf/watt when not running at max TDP (but instead at around 100W TDP).
 
iGPU performance
While the iGPU performance is much better, it hates overclocking so you either get strong iGPU with stock not that great CPU performance or acceptable overclocked CPU performance with graphical glitches. Multiple people on overclock.net had this problem with their otherwise fine samples and had to switch to dGPU.

The problem is this is a tuned 285K, which gets way worse power consumption because all the factors that get tuned cause more power loss via DVLR. This is funny because Raptor Lake actually gets more power efficient when tuning (since RPL tuning mostly involves undervolting and load line tweaking), so once Arrow Lake gets pushed its both less performant and less power efficient compared to RPL, and comparatively, even worse against Zen 5.

I don’t think it’s very common to overclock the iGPU (or CPU) among those that use it. So I think the stock performance is what matters to most of them.

Zero mention of cooling cost.

And memory configuration for both systems are wack paying alot more for minimal gains there.
 
Tom's did an article on the same topic today (expect they used a 9800X3D to give Intel some wins). It was a total shill piece as they said it was a "Faceoff of the Gaming Flagships" but inluded productivity to give Intel a win. They also said they used the 9800X3D ($480) because it was closest in price to the 285k ($590).

I replied about how wrong they were showing the 9950X3D as $650 which is closer in price than the 9800X3D, but more importantly that it is currently on sale for $520. I didn't call them shills otherwise that post would disappear into thin air but said it must've been written some time ago or by someone who didn't do their research.

EDIT:

I was mistaken. I searched for 9950X3D and accidently clicked on 9950X. If only Amazon had Newegg like searchability.

So loserbenchguy thinks that the only reason Intel is in jeopardy is because of AMD marketers 😀

We are all getting paid by AMD, aren't we guys? 😀

Still waiting to get my check in the mail 😉 . Also, those 2017-2020 "faster" numbers must be what, 1T? Because if they included nT Intel would lose every time. I also noticed Zen 3 is suspiciously absent.

No, Intel risks bankruptcy because of their lack to adapt to the market and failure after failure at nodes.

I checked the link, but something seemed off. Your link is to the 9950X - not the 9950X3D. The X3D is $719, although there is a 3rd party (probably scam) at $469
