The motherboard is the Asus WS X299 Sage/10G, with a memory of 32 GB Samsung DDR4-2666 Samsung DDR4-2666. When it comes to the graphics card, the Intel product is using the Asus GeForce RTX 2070.
The result of the benchmark test with Ryzen 9 3950X could have put Intel in a bad light somehow. Amid this development, it could be worth noting that this does not mean defeat for Intel yet.
