Intel Core i9-9980XE CPU Review: Supercharged, Many-Core Skylake-X
Intel Core i9-9980XE - Physics, Gaming, And Graphics Testing
For our next series of tests, we moved on to some game-related metrics with 3DMark, specifically the physics benchmark that's part of the Fire Strike test, along with a couple of actual games. For the 3DMark Physics test, we simply create a custom 3DMark run consisting solely of the physics test, which is CPU dependent, and report the results...

* Threadripper 2970WX (b) results = Dynamic Local Mode Enabled, (c) results = 1/2 core mode with UMA Memory
The Core i9-9980XE puts up a score about 13% higher than the Core i9-7980XE here, which is enough to propel it into the lead over every other processor we tested.

We also ran some high-resolution game and graphics tests on our test rigs 3DMark, Middle Earth: Shadow Of War and Rise Of The Tomb Raider. We used 3DMark's Fire Strike Extreme preset, and both of the games were run in two different configurations -- either 1080p with Medium details, or 4K with High/Very High details. The lower resolution tests are more CPU bound, while the higher resolution tests are more GPU bound.

The Core i9-9980XE was a couple of frames per second off the pace set by the previous flagship Core i9-7980XE in the 3DMark Fire Strike benchmark and ultimately ends up trailing by a few percentage points.
