The latest benchmarks of AMD's flagship mainstream, the Ryzen 9 3950X and Intel's flagship HEDT, the Core i9-10980XE CPU have leaked out in 3DMark by TUM_APISAK. The latest benchmarks show that not only AMD's HEDT but their mainstream Ryzen lineup too would be giving Intel a hard time when it comes to pure core performance.

It's surprising that the results of both flagship processors leaked out around the same time. The AMD Ryzen 9 3950X is designed as the flagship high-core-count chip for the AMD's mainstream AM4 platform while the Intel Core i9-10980XE is designed as the flagship high-core-count chip for Intel's high-end desktop LGA 2066 platform. Both processors are aimed at different markets and before we get to the performance numbers, let's talk about the specifications.
