Is the Ryzen 9 3950x the end of Intel?

By: Evan Dove, Journalist

Well…sort of.

The Ryzen 9 3950x has unmatchable performance with 16 cores and 4.7 Mhz max frequency boost while the Intel i9 9900k with 8 cores and max 5.0 Mhz frequency.  This thing is truly an anomaly. Priced at $750 on Newegg (the i9 9900k at $525 on Newegg), it’s 2x the cores for less than twice the price…TEhat should be illegal.
