Intel i9 9900K vs Ryzen 7 3800XT Benchmark Comparison Gameplay | 9900k vs 3800xt
4Comparison of the technical characteristics between the processors, with the Intel Core i9-9900K on one side and the AMD Ryzen 7 3800XT on the other side. The first is dedicated to the desktop sector, It has 8 cores, 16 threads, a maximum frequency of 5.0GHz. The second is used on the desktop segment, it has a total of 8 cores, 16 threads, its turbo frequency is set to 4.7 GHz. The following table also compares the lithography, the number of transistors (if indicated), the amount of cache memory, the maximum RAM memory capacity, the type of memory accepted, the date of first broadcast, the maximum number of PCIe lines, the values obtained in Geekbench 4 and Cinebench R15.
I've rebuilt my test systems so they use cutting-edge components and also fully up to date versions of Windows 10 with the May 1903 update along with all the various security patches - both from motherboard manufacturers and Microsoft as these are known to have impacted on performance making any data obtained prior to these updates incomparable and unrepresentative.
I should also point out that I've used 3466MHz memory with all my systems now as this worked with older AMD CPUs as well as new ones, painting them in their best light, especially given memory prices are so low at the moment. You may see slightly better performance using faster memory, but you'll be unlikely to get that working on 1st Gen Ryzen CPUs.
Overclocking: I managed to overclock the Ryzen 7 3800X to 4.4GHz with a vcore of 1.425V - the maximum I use with AMD CPUs and always suggest you aim to lower that for an every-day overclock if you do it yourself. Other CPU overclocks include: Ryzen 5 3600: 4.25GHz, Ryzen 5 3600X: 4.25GHz, AMD Ryzen 9 3900X: 4.3GHz, AMD Ryzen 7 3700X: 4.3GHz, AMD Ryzen 7 1800X: 4GHz, AMD Ryzen 7 2700X: 4.2GHz, AMD Threadripper 2920X: 4.2GHz, Intel Core i9-9900K: 5GHz, Intel Core i7-9700K: 5.1GHz, Intel Core i5-9600K: 5GHz, Intel Core i7-8700K: 5GHz.
