Gaming: World of Tanks enCore
Albeit different to most of the other commonly played MMO or massively multiplayer online games, World of Tanks is set in the mid-20th century and allows players to take control of a range of military based armored vehicles. World of Tanks (WoT) is developed and published by Wargaming who are based in Belarus, with the game’s soundtrack being primarily composed by Belarusian composer Sergey Khmelevsky. The game offers multiple entry points including a free-to-play element as well as allowing players to pay a fee to open up more features. One of the most interesting things about this tank based MMO is that it achieved eSports status when it debuted at the World Cyber Games back in 2012.
World of Tanks enCore is a demo application for a new and unreleased graphics engine penned by the Wargaming development team. Over time the new core engine will implemented into the full game upgrading the games visuals with key elements such as improved water, flora, shadows, lighting as well as other objects such as buildings. The World of Tanks enCore demo app not only offers up insight into the impending game engine changes, but allows users to check system performance to see if the new engine run optimally on their system.

It would be interesting to get comparative data on the 2124G and the 2126G to see if 4/8 or 6/6 would perform better.dgingeri - Monday, March 11, 2019 - link
er, sorry, meant the 2144G, not the 2124G.Stuka87 - Wednesday, March 13, 2019 - link
In my experience, real cores perform better than hyper-threaded cores. So I would be on the 6/6.yankeeDDL - Monday, March 11, 2019 - link
Is it me of the $328 xeon often loses (and sometimes by a sizable margin) to the $199 Ryzen 2600?RSAUser - Monday, March 11, 2019 - link
Definitely, but here the power envelope is important for the test, which Anandtech doesn't seem to give. It's quite worrisome how most of those Xeons are operating outside of their power envelope, that E-2174G that you are referring to is pulling 85W for a rated 71W, so Intel gives a P2 power limit. Why bother with the normal TDP then? The 2600 seems to be owning price/performance and TDP/performance. Question there is EEC memory support, and the guarantee/testing including with Xeons. That's why I mentioned including TR in the benchmarks, or at least the 2700X.This is going to be interesting when AMD releases their 7nm products.

All AMD CPUs based on Zen or Zen+ supports EEC RAM. It's up to the MB manufacturer if they have included the support on their MBs. For any workstation build where you don't need the memory bandwidth or superior number of PCIe lanes the TR series offer, you'd use the Ryzen Pro series, not the consumer desktop series.mode_13h - Monday, March 11, 2019 - link
I seem to recall reading that at least some of the Zen-based APUs are lacking ECC-support. I'd love to be proven wrong...notashill - Tuesday, March 12, 2019 - link
AMD has directly confirmed that all Raven Ridge APUs support ECC.https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/amd-ama-start...

You seem to know nothing.ondma - Monday, March 11, 2019 - link
The 2600 goes over its TDP as well. It actually goes over its TDP by 20%, pretty much the same percentage as the hex core Intel cpus. And as usual, Anand is using an antiquated dgpu for the gaming tests.
