Intel Core i9 10980XE and ASUS ROG Rampage VI Extreme Encore Review

Cinebench R20

The latest version of Maxon’s rendering engine tests both single core performance as well as the multi-threaded option, dispensing with the OpenGL rendering test we had in the earlier version.

The better turbo ability of the latest 10th Generation XE CPU makes its presence felt in our stock test where the processor is overclocking itself, whilst the overclock sits somewhere between the Core i9-7980XE and Threadripper 2990WX. There isn’t much to choose between the X299 motherboards, as it should be.
