Intel Core i9-10900K CPU Flagship Review Leaks Out

An early review of Intel's upcoming Core i9-10900k flagship has leaked out from Teclab @Bilibili (via Videocardz). The review pits the Core i9-10900k against AMD's 3rd Generation Ryzen 9 3900X and Ryzen 9 3950X flagships. The sample tested by Teclab appears to be a retail sample and has a base clock of 3.7 GHz. While the Core i9 10900K has similar performance in gaming tests, it is outclassed by AMD's 3900 and 3950X in pretty much all other benchmarks.
Our friendly canine reviewer used the Z490 and X570 motherboard series for the Intel and AMD respectively. Although we do not know the exact motherboard model (likely to not get the AIB in trouble since it is almost certain that they got the CPU sample from them) for the Z490, we do know that the X570 motherboard in question is the MEG X570 GODLIKE. DDR4 RAM clocked at 4000 MHz (G.Skill Trident Z) was used but the timings on the AMD variant were slightly different. All CPUs were cooled by a 360mm AIO and paired with a powerful HOF RTX 2080 Ti graphics card to make the games as CPU bound as possible.
