I think you are wasting your time typing @Kaapstad. Until peeps have actually used high core count cpu's like the 3950x, they really do not have any comprehension of the gameplay difference it makes.

Why are some 3090's only hitting ~14k GPU in Timespy bench on 3960x?

My 3950X has impressive multi core performance but it also is very good on old single core games played on huge settings.
Where the single core performance is impressive is because it does it at quite low clockspeeds and is much more efficient compared to intel CPUs when you get very late into the games.
If you play Master of Orion with huge settings in a massive Galaxy on intel CPUs once you get to about turn 300 you can cook a meal and take a shower between turns lol. On the other hand if you use a 3950X the game remains quite playable.
I do agree with you that I am wasting my time typing because unless someone has experienced the above and used the hardware they just don't believe you.
In a weird coincidence my real name is Robert Noyce, for a laugh intel users could google it.

Yep. There always has been issues with turn times, mainly between 280 and 300 onwards. It applies to all low core count sku's really, AMD or Intel. But you are correct, the efficiency of zen mixed with a high core count keeps Master of Orion absolutely playable even up to turn 500 (not that i myself have actually got to turn 500
, my son has).Things like this only become obvious through actually using a cpu. It's all well and good for some smartass to come up with graphs that "prove" a cpu is faster.........................but if that cpu is taking 15mins at turn 300..................it clearly isn't faster than a 3950x.
And good morning Mr Noyce

So it's normal for results to be horrendous on the non extreme versions for 3950x and 3090/ti ? I thought I might have had an issue as GPU score was incredibly low however scores are totally within the average on the extreme versions and Port Royal ?
