Your RDR2 benchmarks are showing something you seem to be missing or not saying.
Intel is still ahead, only due to sheer core speed. Look at the 10600 and 10900 compared to their AMD counterparts. The 10600 6 core and 5600X 6 core both have the same core and thread counts, and all things being roughly equal, the only key difference is the core speed, and the resulting fps.
I would wager that's the issue. The core speed. AMD's chips might be dropping down more often, or hard when the clock does drop, which would result in such performance issues. Not huge issues mind you, but I bet there is something that needs to be tweaked and tuned to lower that issue.
I think I know what would need tweaking, but cannot be sure until I can try some things with a physical CPU myself. Currently own the 3600XT. Getting 99.1 percentile on userbenchmark after some personal tweaks.

This cpu is even more amazing when you consider the system you can put this in. Majority of people have a 550/650watt power supply, with this pulling around 100 watts you could easily run a new 6000 or rtx 3000 series gpu on a 550watt psu. The 10600k on the other hand, is pulling 220 watts means you must have a 650watt psu and in addition a better motherboard vrm (more expensive) and a better cooler, all of this for worse performance and less features. Intel please, get your new node working, this is embarrassing and don't even get me started on the 10900k. I just hope Intel can bring some competition soon otherwise 'AMD tax' may actually be a thing in the next few years.

man, i want an r5 5600x ITX box now. that performance with that power consumption is insane. functionally matching or beating a an overclocked 10900k at stock settings and around 65 watts? absolute insanity.
it's also funny how the promise of16 core desktop consumer CPUs sent VRM designs into a completely new dimension, but the CPUs that actually came out were so damn efficient that basically any midrange board is already complete overkill for anything that isn the 5950x. i'm looking at the asrock a520m-itx for my build, buildzoid even got PBO running properly on his 60 bucks a520 board.

If all you do is game and especially at 1440p or higher. A 5600X is a no-brainer.. In fact if you choose a higher CPU you have no brain ( I am talking if you only game and browse internet). Here In Canada you'd with taxes would pay twice as much for a 5900X vs a 5600X, we're talking basically 350- 400.. That is the difference from buying a 6800XT and a 6900XT.. And you gain FAR FAR more performance getting a faster GPU than a CPU.
At least that is my reasoning and why I changed my mind from a 5800X/5900X I was debating. Because all I do is game and browse.

This 5600X looks nice. I think it could be the best cpu for gaming for most of the players next few years. Could because this price is like hey, yes we are better but i5-10600k is cheaper and its not big difference . Now hard choice is almost same price - i5-10600K OC + RTX3080 ghost card or 5600X OC + 6800XT and pray about good drivers. Choosing 5600X + normal 6800 has no sense when both i5 and RTX3070 are cheaper.

I dunno. If AMD had gone with a 10 core then their 5800X could have been the 10 core instead and 5700X could be the 8 core. That would have been a slicker SKU lineup for sure. But I'm sure they are constrained and have to bin them as they do for now.
I think people just now expected more cores generation after generation and going back to just making each core faster feels weird.

Does GN keep track of idle power draw? On my desktop and servers, they spend a lot of time virtually idle, and so that metric is meaningful to me. I am considering what to get to replace my i5-6500/gtx1060 desktop that pulls 20w from the wall at idle. I'd kind of like to know where the 5600x stands in comparison, but it will be more important for me to know with AMD's future 200 part.

Sooo, if you were starting from scratch and looking for some ultrawide 3440x1440 action at high frame rates (as even the budget monitors seem to be 144Hz) ... and were trying to balance not spending as much as possible, but also knowing that you'd probably not upgrade again for 5 years+ (or maybe even a decade) ... then it'd be better to get a 5600x over a 3600?

I'm conflicted between the 3700X and 5600X.
Seems like an overclocked 3700X could match the 5600X gaming performance but, in production force, the 5600X falls short.
We need to wait for GN to pair it with the new AMD GPU's to see if the Smart Acess Memory gives a boost to these scores.
Good Work as always guys!
