https://www.overclock3d.net/news/cpu_mainboard/amd_gave_intel_an_easy_time_in_ryzen_3rd_gen_gaming_benchmarks/1 When AMD showcased their Ryzen 3rd Generation processor lineup at E3, the company revealed slides which shown performance parity with Intel in several popular titles. Now, it has been confirmed that AMD's testing methodology wasn't designed to get the best out of their processors. The opposite was true, AMD tested Intel's processors with every advantage they could, even when it came at the cost of their own system performance, at least according to Paul's Hardware. For starters, AMD tested Intel's CPUs without software and firmware mitigations for the latest speculative execution vulnerabilities/security flaws that impact their processors. Doing so prevented these security fixes from reducing the performance of Intel's processors, giving their rivals a performance boost over an equivalent, secured system. AMD also tested both sets of processors on an older version of Windows 10, which hampered their own potential performance. The latest version of Windows 10, which arrived with Microsoft's May 2019 update, delivered scheduler changes which enable the OS to utilise AMD's Ryzen series processors better. This version of the OS isn't widely used yet, so AMD opted to use the same version of the OS as their Intel-based test system, hampering their own performance in the process. This testing methodology is designed to match those of reviewers who will opt to give Intel platform their best performance, even if it comes at the cost of platform security. Regardless, even with these shortcomings, AMD's Ryzen 3rd Generation processors offer exceptional levels of performance, even when placed against Intel's performance optimised platforms.

Good find, so the gap is even bigger between cpu's. In the end this is good for consumers, Intel will have to improve now.

It would be interesting if between windows updates and security solutions amd took the single thread performance crown. That's what most people I know have been harping on for the entire ryzen train ride.

Great info. This time I can say I am confident to purchase a product worth my money  ...and that my fellow evgaers is hard to find now in days. Consumer confidence in buying a product. 
T hose who abuse power, are nothing but scumbags! The challenge of power is how to use it and not abuse it. The abuse of power that seems to create the most unhappiness is when a person uses personal power to get ahead without regards to the welfare of others, people are obsessed with it. You can take a nice person and turn them into a slob, into an insane being, craving power, destroying anything that stands in their way. Affiliate Code: 3T15O1S07G

AMD has been sandbagging the whole zen2 launch, showing something really good then later something better, then something even better and so on....

This only adds to the reasons why I choose AMD Processor's and AMD Motherboard's. I am looking forward to AMD Ryzen 3000 series and AMD X570 motherboards from ASUS, MSI and others. I want the performance gains associated with the performance of AMD Ryzen Zen 2 architecture! I will be using it for Adobe Creative Cloud and gaming!

All I will say is that My R5 2400G works well and it does what I want.
With 24GB of memory and 64-bit Windows I can do more with this CPU that before for several reasons, but among them is a much improved instruction set.
I use Visual Studio and I am into extreme programming, for example,
brute force for any even number n, there exists p and q such that n = p + q
that is called Goldbach and it will definitely warm up your CPU.

Haven't built a new PC in 3+ years. Really looking forward to switch back to AMD as long as the motherboard prices aren't as ridiculous as speculated.

Z390 has boards that expensive also.... Most on a budget will be fine with a X470 board anyways
