speaks a lot about the ethics and integrity of how Intel is run these days.

The Core i9 Gaming Benchmarks Intel Commissioned Against AMD Are a Flat Lie
If Principled had consulted AMD’s documentation, it would’ve seen that it shouldn’t be using this test mode for Ryzen 7 in any case. If it didn’t consult AMD’s documentation, it had no business using Ryzen Master to adjust Ryzen 7 CPU settings. But the 50 percent performance gain that Intel claims for itself is exactly the kind of result we’d expect if the 2700X had been crippled by having its CPU neutered
If you need additional evidence of how crazy these scores are, consider our own 2700X review, which we also test with a GTX 1080 TiSEEAMAZON_ET_135 See Amazon ET commerce in the CPU focused benchmark (the same one PT used).
Their Core i7-8700K is actually a touch slower than ours, but our Ryzen 7 2700XSE is a massive 1.36x faster. While our results use different detail settings, TechSpot actually checked the exact results with AotS benchmarks of their own. In the graphs below, red bars indicate Principled Technologies results.
