AMD Ryzen 5 5600X Benchmarked, Conquers Intel Core i5-10600K
Since AMD announced its next-generation Ryzen 5000 series desktop processors based on Zen 3 core, everyone has been wondering how the new processors perform. For a detailed review and performance numbers, you should wait for official reviews. However, today we have the scores of Ryzen 5 5600X CPU. Thanks to the popular hardware leaker @TUM_APISAK, the Ryzen 5 5600X performance numbers in the SiSoftware Sandra benchmark suite have been leaked. When digging under the hood, the new Ryzen CPU contains six of Zen 3 cores with 12 threads, paired with as much as 32 MB of level three (L3) cache. These cores are running at 3.7 GHz base frequency, while the boost speeds are reaching 4.6 GHz.
In the test results, the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X CPU has scored Processor Arithmetic and Processor Multi-Media scores of 255.22 GOPS and 904.38 Mpix/s. These scores are not much on their own until we compare them to some of the Intel offerings. When compared to the Intel Core i5-10600K CPU, which is likely its targeted competing category, it scores 224.07 GOPS and 662.33 Mpix/s for Processor Arithmetic and Processor Multi-Media tests respectively. This puts the AMD CPU ahead 13.9% and 36.5% in these tests, indicating the possibility of Zen 3. Another important note here is the thermal headroom both of these CPUs run. While the Intel model is constrained withing 125 W TDP, the AMD model runs at just 65 W TDP. This could be an indication of the efficiency that these new processors harness.

They should‘ve include a ZEN2 CPU in there for better comparison.
———————————
Apparently Intel has come up with a glue also.
2021 2H (AlderLake)
1. GPU
2. CPU
Depending the target resolution as of what GPU and what CPU.
Hence why I hope, my plan's for a new 2 in 1 pc. Can be a reallity. But we have this dam virus, that still causing instability. Covid-19 already cost me the chance to upgrade to Ryzen 9 3950X at the beginning of the year. So It can sure as hell ruin my plans again. But do things go to my plans, I will be getting Ryzen 5 5600X (maybe 5600 none X L, to save a little) and Ryzen 5950X after Christmas/new year holiday is over.
I’m on the ZEN3 wagon long ago... actually from Jul7th 2019... “eyes closed”
Does that mean I must deprive common sense?

Spending 250$ on your CPU and 750$ on GPU will give you way better gaming performance than 750$ on the CPU and 250 on the GPU, it will still beat out also 500$ CPU and 500$ GPU if the resolution isn't too low.
If you aren't doing super high FPS in competitive game at 1080p, cpu aren't that important if you have something good enough.
I know this is what Intel has now and it is basically all-a-foot in deep s**t, but comparing the 5600x with 10600k and saying wow, what a performance boost, is a bit...yeah, sad.
If 5600x was 2x10600k, yeah, then I would be wow, AMD has actually managed to double the performance of Intel's 6 core CPU from 2015 in 5 years.
But they have 7nm, they have the best process manufacturer there is, they have 3 iterations of their magic Zen uarch and all we get is 30% improvement.
Sure, performance per watt has improved a lot, but core to core wise, the improvement is not that stellar.
I’m not on the ZEN3 wagon?
Or something about common sense?
What you describe after was my point exactly
Im all in, hands and feet, on ZEN3. But not going to suggest it to anyone without details of his/hers goals and existing hardware.
As for everybody else, man, those goalposts are moving real fast!
It used to be "Intel is better for gaming"
Now it's "Nobody needs high framrates", and "It's only 1080p."
Ya'll better cover up, your fanboy is showing.
