Gaming: Far Cry 5
The latest title in Ubisoft's Far Cry series lands us right into the unwelcoming arms of an armed militant cult in Montana, one of the many middles-of-nowhere in the United States. With a charismatic and enigmatic adversary, gorgeous landscapes of the northwestern American flavor, and lots of violence, it is classic Far Cry fare. Graphically intensive in an open-world environment, the game mixes in action and exploration.
Far Cry 5 does support Vega-centric features with Rapid Packed Math and Shader Intrinsics. Far Cry 5 also supports HDR (HDR10, scRGB, and FreeSync 2). We use the in-game benchmark for our data, and report the average/minimum frame rates.
All of our benchmark results can also be found in our benchmark engine, Bench.

Intel never left "the top". Top of 720p low graphics settings, by a single percentage margin. Totally worth 50% higher price.silencer12 - Saturday, May 23, 2020 - link

AMD has already shifted their pricing quite a bit from launch in anticipation of this... is it clearly a better option, for most people... unless you literally only care about gaming, then a 10900K or 10700K might be an okay option at their respective price points and only if you're using at least an RTX 2080 Super. If you're going anything lower on GPU, then AMD is probably the better option all the way around (and you'll probably save a bit on your annual power bill as a result).VoraciousGorak - Wednesday, May 20, 2020 - link
Finally, a sane product stack from Intel with regards to naming versus core/thread count.Hifihedgehog - Wednesday, May 20, 2020 - link
Sane and thermal meltdown don't mix.ElvenLemming - Wednesday, May 20, 2020 - link
Unfortunate that their product stack finally makes sense now that the name sounds so stupid I get angry every time I read it.Spunjji - Tuesday, May 26, 2020 - link
Whether it's "Eye-Nine Ten-Nine-Hundred-Kay" or "Eye-Nine Ten-Thousand-Nine-Hundred-Kay", it sounds equally daft.tipoo - Wednesday, May 20, 2020 - link
Chasing clocks and high power to counter AMD. Ah, Netburst, good times. Ish.WaltC - Wednesday, May 20, 2020 - link
I had forgotten Netburst...;) "The Intel CPU that accelerated the Internet"! Thanks for the laugh!trparky - Wednesday, May 20, 2020 - link
Yep, I agree.
