As exciting as this is, there’s some curious bits in here. Why is the 9980XE Cinebench score “simulated?” Why is AMD 64 and Intel 64 a separate feature? (Not to say there are zero differences but I don’t think there are many intentionally - maybe some ring 0 differences?)

It is also said there are “no reasons” to consider the 9980XE.. but I can see a few actually. It has more cores and threads, for starters.

I do agree the Ryzen here is a clear winner in value. It is Much cheaper even if it does not win in absolute performance.
