Intel’s Core i9 9900K is up to 50% faster than AMD’s Ryzen 7 2700X in games

Intel has now officially announced its new Core i9 9900K processor, proclaiming it as the “world’s best gaming processor.” It’s not just some marketing bluster either... well, not entirely. Intel has commissioned Principled Technologies to do a benchmarking sesh on its newest 9th Gen chips, and their competition, across 19 of the most popular PC games. And it’s not just the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X that Intel is focusing on here, the benchmarks also include the 18-core Intel X-series Core i9 9980XE, the confusingly titled i9 9900X, and a couple of Threadripper chips too. The test platforms are all identical, aside from the motherboard and CPU, using a GTX 1080 Ti graphics card, 16GB DDR4 memory (at either 2,666MHz or 2,933MHz), and with the Windows 10 1803 build on a Samsung 970 Pro SSD. In terms of the games, the company benchmarked Total War: Warhammer 2, Far Cry 5, Assassin’s Creed: Origins, Civilization VI, Rainbow Six Siege, PUBG, Rise of the Tomb Raider, WoW: Battle for Azeroth, and a host of other modern titles.
