Unsurprisingly, the ASUS Prime X299 Edition 30 with the 10980XE turns in the highest performance we’ve seen to date in this test with a result of 33,635 K samples overclocked and 28,457 K samples at stock speeds.

Cinebench R20 – Multithread

Cinebench is a nice test for comparing multi-threaded workloads that takes advantage of the CPU’s newer instruction sets. It scales very well with core counts as well. Again, it is no surprise that the ASUS Prime X299 Edition 30 does well here at both stock and overclocked speeds.

Cinebench R20 – Single Thread

In the single-threaded Cinebench test, we see things come down to raw IPC and clock speeds primarily. Although, cache design and size comes into play as well. Amazingly, most of our test systems are all in the same general ballpark here. The 3900X does the best, but the Intel offerings aren’t all that far behind. However, the Ryzen 7 2700X is really starting to show its age here.

In both stock and overclocked form, the 10980XE equipped Prime X299 Edition 30 is again ahead of the other test systems.

Another good showing for the Prime X299 Edition 30 and the 10980XE.
