Intel Core i9-10900 sample's pedestrian results on Cinebench R15 and Cinebench R20 won't trouble AMD's Ryzen 9 3900X

The Intel chip performs comparably to the AMD processor in the single-core tests but completely loses its way in the multi-core tests. Of course, there are several variables to be considered, such as the components in the system that features the Intel Core i9-10900 ES and the fact that it is an engineering sample. The base clock for the ES is 2.50 GHz, whereas the final clock for the 10-core Comet Lake desktop processor will be 2.80 GHz (boost 4.60 GHz 10 cores; 5.20 GHz single core). The difference in TDP also has to be mentioned: The Ryzen 9 3900X can rely on 105 W TDP whereas the i9-10900 ES is limited to 65 W in the Cinebench tests.

The AMD processor does have considerable advantages over the Intel engineering sample in this particular benchmark example, including its two extra cores for enhanced multi-core performance, and there is definitely room for improvement before the final product from Team Blue can be fairly judged. But these results do seem to indicate that Intel's Comet Lake parts could even struggle against AMD’s Zen 2 Matisse chips and will likely be demolished by Ryzen 4000 desktop processors.
