Ok but .... The fact that some of the worst combos we've seen still play 1080 high at good frames, 1440 etc. With RSR as well. In the real world outside of this reviewer vacuum low end money strapped folks can get into PC gaming. GN doesn't always represent real consumers. I have a 6900xt now but I remember the days i couldnt afford anything higher than the 750ti and an fx 8320 (i bought second hand and it was impossible to be cheaper than the 120 bucks i paid for it) it was already struggling to play games.

Wow... They've destroyed everything by themselves... High end... Intel... That's ok... right?... Now low end... and again... Intel? And what's worse... it will be a surprise for non techies... When real scenario will be much worse than ads and tests (done with 3080). Low budget gamer will be destroyed by AMD-AMD combo when games on the limit of frame buffer will go so low that old PC will do better (that they just sold to by new one)...

Well isn't the Ryzen 5500 kind of meant for a motherboard that only supports pcie 3.0 only? B450 motherboards. I think the Radeon is the bigger problem, not the CPU (also doesn't the more expensive Radeon 5600g also only support PCIe 3.0?) I think the Radeon 6500 XT is a dog, that's for sure. It should be 150 USD, not 200. The Ryzen is still ok imo depending on your country's pricing (it is way cheaper where I live compared to the 12400).

its funny how amd has some of the best yet also worst offers with their line up while intel mostly has bad stuff but when intel has a banger like a i3 12100 or i5 12400, it blows amd out of the water sometimes, so hillarious. still, a 200 dollar 12400 vs 200 dollar r5 5600...... b550 is cheaper...... amd still triumphs kinda. but the r3 4100 and such is SO BAD that paying a bit more will immediately crush amd.

This kind of stuff is why it'd be good for reviews to include performance charts with lower end hardware, to see how it scales. An i3 or R5 5500 with a 3080 is nice to get rid of other variables, but it's not at all reflective of what reality is going to be, because those CPUs are very unlikely to be paired with a 3080 (or even a 3060ti). This case is a pretty obvious example, but just in general too.

Wow, couldn't have pre skewed a result any more if you tried
In reality, no one will pair bottom tier CPUs with highest end GPUs, and no one's buying 6500xts.
In reality, both the i3 and 5500 will be paired with non pcie4 x4 bottlenecked lower end GPUs and perform nearly the same, but the 5500 will perform exactly the same in a garbage tier am4 board off marketplace in a starter build.

One would expect that AMD would have designed the CPU's and GPU's they make to pair perfectly together for the best performance while not suffering when mixed with the competition. Better frametime consistency with comparable framerates as an example. Less stuttering is a valid marketing campaign they could leverage, gamers hate stuttering.

This should be interesting. I honestly want to see what the funny results are given the title.
Edit: seeing the results, I'm surprised at how the PCIE gen 3 vs PCIE gen 4 differences change depending upon the performance 'level'. You would think it's the opposite. Would love to see more tests like this!

The best thing about your videos is the small accidents that happens in the background, that's pure GOLD!
AMD really dropped the ball with the R5 4000 latest CPUs as well as RX 6500XT, it's like AMD wants to fail so hard in that segment after they achieved high success across all other segments.

Mr
When you cut on one product, cut on the other - and then both meet together for staggering wombo-combo It's absolutely insane when AMD GPU ignore PCIE 3.0 systems with so limited PCIE lanes (x4 in this case) - and then they launch brand new CPU that doesn't support PCIE 4.0.
