Intel Core I9 9980XE vs. Ryzen 9 3900X Benchmark

As exciting as this is, there’s some curious bits in here. Why is the 9980XE Cinebench score “simulated?” Why is AMD 64 and Intel 64 a separate feature? (Not to say there are zero differences but I don’t think there are many intentionally - maybe some ring 0 differences?)

It is also said there are “no reasons” to consider the 9980XE.. but I can see a few actually. It has more cores and threads, for starters.

I do agree the Ryzen here is a clear winner in value. It is Much cheaper even if it does not win in absolute performance.

Is it an advantage that the 9989XE has more cores and threads even if, according to the article, the Ryzen still wins in overall multithreaded performance?

No, but I am a bit perplexed by what that value entails. It looks like it is based on the Cinebench results, which, for the Intel chip, is “simulated.” There are probably also some workloads that behave differently than Cinebench.

On the other hand, I suspect the Ryzen 3950X should be a really good match when that arrives later this year.

Maybe, if you were running two programs which can't utilise more than n, m threads such that 12 < (n + m) < 18.

Seems niche but I guess it could happen?

There are many (small) differences between AMD64 and Intel 64. But it's obvious that the Intel processor implements the Intel 64 version of x64 and the AMD processor implements the AMD64 version. This also goes for VT-x, VT-d, and AMD-V.

Do most popular hypervisors support AMD-V in the same way that they support VT-x and VT-d?

For example with vmware player you can run a 64bit virtualized OS inside of an existing VM. Running a VM within a VM is quite useful in development sometimes.
