AMD Ryzen 9 3950X Cinebench R15 Performance Spiededit
Market availability of the 16-core Ryzen 9 3950X may be far away, given its September 2019 launch, but engineering samples (ESes) of the chip seem to be already in circulation. “uzzi38” on Twitter posted this spy-shot of a 3950X ES making short work of Cinebench R15. CPU-Z recognizes the chip by its codename “Matisse,” and puts out the correct CPU core and thread count, but doesn’t give a name-string. It also recognizes the MSI MEG X570 GODLIKE motherboard this test is run on.

AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 10% Faster than Intel Core i5-9600K in Gaming, 25% in Multi-Threaded Tasksedit
We’ve seen a ton of tests and benchmarks of the AMD Ryzen 5 3600, but not a single one of its higher clocked X sibling. TUM_APISAK shared the UserBenchmark of the 3600X on Twitter a few hours back, and we were able to get a look at the chip’s performance. It seems like the faster clocks help quite a bit when it comes to both gaming as well as effective or real-world performance.

WHICH TYPE OF GRAPHICS SHOULD YOUR NEXT LAPTOP HAVE?edit
While Intel-powered models come with a CPU (central processing unit) and an integrated GPU (graphics processing unit) with shared video RAM (usually no more than 128MB), some AMD-powered models come with an APU (accelerated processing unit). Laptops powered by an AMD APU are graphically more powerful than Intel units with an integrated graphics card but aren’t as capable as a laptop with a discrete graphics card.
