AMD 3rd Generation Ryzen Threadripper TR 3960X Review
Time Spy Extreme

Time Spy Extreme
Time Spy is another part of the 3D Mark suite but here in its Extreme guise it’s as taxing as you could wish for. We're also including the CPU Score here as it's a better representation of the motherboards abilities, particularly when overclocked.
Time Spy is more CPU based and thus it's not a surprise to see how well the TR 3960X performs.

It's absurd how CPUs are now at the stage where many programs and workloads can't leverage the potential fully. Obviously games are a big one, but it seems other programs and tasks may need to catch up. Intel is so far behind. It's amazing how a company so much bigger can fall so far behind.Quote
If they could have only priced it exactly the same as the 10980xe then it would have been the ultimate intel killer !Quote

Intel could have stayed ahead from the get go. Their issue is greed, how they tried to milk the consumer and business segment with minuscule increases in performance and (in my eyes) major price increases. Couple that with immature short handed tactics, like their demo of the 28core CPU at 5ghz on all cores, being WATERCOOLED, or the CPU vulnerabilities. Their image is very hurt. Consumer might not care much for spectre, but enterprise and business units will.
AMD were working hard towards Zen, but of course, when you are stuck in the RnD phase with nothing to compete with, Intel got complacent. Zen exploded on the scene and put a serious dent in dominance.
By the way TTL,
Is there any way to present the numerical values on your graphs a little clearer? For me its not very easy on the eyes to extrapolate. Could it be embedded in the bars themselves perhaps?Quote
Intel are behind because they havn't really released a new product for years, not from complacency but because they were too aggressive with 10nm and their expectations of EUV development, and have been stuck waiting for physicists to catch up. If Intel had actually been complacent and not set such crazy targets for 10nm they wouldn't be in this mess strangely.Quote
