There has been a lot of talk regarding AMD's upcoming Zen CPU architecture that should launch early next year with FX-series Summit Ridge CPUs and the newest benchmark suggest it can match performance of Intel's 10-core Xeon E5 series CPU.

A performance result from Blender benchmark, spotted by Wccftech.com, put AMD's Zen-based engineering sample against some high-end Intel Xeon parts, including the 10-core, 20-thread, Ivy Bridge-E Xeon E5 2680 v2 CPU.

Earlier leaks suggested that the AMD Zen engineering samples are an 8-core, 16-thread chips clocked at about 3.6GHz, which suggest that Zen CPU architecture could be easily reaching 40% IPC performance improvement announced earlier.

It appears that AMD's Zen CPU architecture is doing quite well and if AMD manage to match Intel's Broadwell-E in clock-to-clock performance, this might a big win for AMD.
