Again, benches are for themselves especially on msfs! A player sees the differences with: pay plane, pay airport and very crowded with traffic and very complex weather conditions, all in 4k. In this situation i9 is hands down on x3d, the cache helps in less demanding operations, such as flying at high altitude, without traffic and without structures. when there is a need for brute force, computation and processing, the cache does little compared to the much higher frequency of the i9!
On this forum and on other forums, I read of some users who switched from x3d to i9 13900 and believed that the difference was only seen when you put the simulator in very difficult situations in very complex scenarios, otherwise the difference is minimal. So seeing the benches makes very little sense for the real and practical purposes of us simmers.
practical example: AG plane, 8000ft above sea in clear weather, here both are excellent…737pmdg, London, heavy traffic, overcast in this case at least you have 10-12 (maybe even more, the more complex the scenario the more increase the fps range ) more fps on i9…that’s what I mean.
Here in Italy the price difference is only 200 euros. So with i9 I was fine for years
