CPU Reviews Workstations

Matisse Refresh – light and shadow, sidegrade or real gain? versatility test from old against new and all against Intel

Let’s switch from gaming back to real life. After all, CAD programs are only connected with a graphic output at the end, whereby the field here is much more differentiated. That’s exactly why I have invested a little bit more time in this area, because it is of course also a little bit one of the unique selling points of my site to question all facets and to use the technical possibilities (hard- and software) as well. For the graphics output I use a Quadro P6000, which is roughly equivalent to the Titan Pascal. This is quite sufficient, because this powerful GPU is never the bottleneck.

If you are more at home in the construction, design or planning area, you will of course also know that the task is much broader than in games, but everything ends up in a (preferably fluid) graphic output. Here I mean mainly the real-time previews and not the render images. We’ll have those later. However, it is not even necessary to go into all the applications tested, because the trend that IPC + clock is still the decisive feature with a maximum number of 6 to 8 threads continues very clearly.

However, the composite scores of many application benchmarks depend on the combination of CPU and GPU, i.e. a more or less balanced mix, almost like games. Again, I prefer to let the bars of the programs speak for themselves, because you can clearly see where the journey is going. The Ryzen 9 3900XT can stand out more or less clearly from Ryzen 9 3900X in all respects and often even overtakes the Ryzen 9 3950X. But as long as there are not really many or even using all the cores, is and will remain Intel… well, we already did. Then Ryzen 4000 will have to fix it and I’m pretty sure that a lot of things will have to be restructured.

 

 

 

 

 

 

For AMD, not much changes in these tests, even though the Ryzen 9 3900XT can take back the midfield and make the other two Ryzen 9 look old. Intel was is still the measure of all things here, even if it is bought hard at the power outlet from time to time. What counts in the end is certainly only the result. You may also be surprised that the old Intel Core i7-9700K can still do so well, but it shows once again that apart from all the number crunchers, you don’t need so many computing cores in the CPU. This is also an insight worth thinking about with AMD. Here I would have liked to see the Ryzen 5 3600XT and Ryzen 7 3800XT, but what you don’t get, you can’t test. Intel’s old enthusiast platform fails grandiose and above all clearly visible (also in itself).
