The performance benchmarks were carried out on an X570 motherboard (ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII HERO) with 16 GB of DDR4 Ram (configured to max specifications/clocks suggested for each CPU) and a GeForce GTX 1080 Ti. The latest drivers and BIOS were used with Turbo and SMT enabled. We will get to the performance in a bit but let's take a quick look at the specifications of each of the Ryzen 3000 CPU that was tested.

What would launch in a few days is the Ryzen 9 3900X which will be the first 12 core processor for mainstream platforms and that too is a beast in terms of performance and efficiency.
