Slower than AMD Ryzen 9 3900X and Core i9-9900K

Just one day before Computex, Intel announced another 9th generation chip based on the updated Coffee Lake, the Core i9-9900KS. Basically at 9900K, the KS variant has eight cores running at 5 GHz, all the time. This means we are looking for a better IHS (welded?), A higher TDP and a chip that will heat without liquid cooling. In addition, since the single core increase remains unchanged, the performance of the SC or ST should not be affected compared to the 9900K, but we should see gains in multithreaded workloads.

And look at this, it is actually slower than the Core i9-9900K. Of course, the delta is in the margin of error, but should the multi-core score not be higher, even a little bit? Does not seem like that though. From what I can say, this example is not cooled properly or does not work on the latest BIOS. Anyway, let's compare it to the original i9-9900K and its new competitor, the Ryzen 9 3900X:

The single-core as well as multi-core scores are lower than those of the original, which again lets me assume that this chip has not been tested with the proper configuration. In addition, in the SC test, it is faster than the Ryzen 9 3900X, but loses far in the multicore test. TUM_APISAK has published on Twitter a comparison of Ryzen 7 3800X and Core i9-9900KS. Viewing:

Thanks to the higher operating frequencies, the Ryzen 7 3800X is much closer to the 9900KS than in the single-threaded test and manages to defeat it in the multi-threaded process. However, if you compare prices, the 3800X costs $ 399 while the 9900KS is still to be determined, but since the 9900K is selling at $ 484, it can not be too high. In contrast, the 3700X costs only $ 329 and offers performance comparable to the flagship Coffee Lake-S. The only difference is that the 3800X works with higher clocks and comes with an extra margin of overclocking.
