AMD Zen 3 Ryzen Deep Dive Review: 5950X, 5900X, 5800X and 5600X Tested
by Dr. Ian Cutress on November 5, 2020 9:01 AM ESTGaming Tests: Chernobylite
Despite the advent of recent TV shows like Chernobyl, recreating the situation revolving around the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster, the concept of nuclear fallout and the town of Pripyat have been popular settings for a number of games – mostly first person shooters. Chernobylite is an indie title that plays on a science-fiction survival horror experience and uses a 3D-scanned recreation of the real Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. It involves challenging combat, a mix of free exploration with crafting and non-linear story telling. While still in early access, it is already picking up plenty of awards.
I picked up Chernobylite while still in early access, and was impressed by its in-game benchmark, showcasing complex building structure with plenty of trees and structures where aliasing becomes important. The in-game benchmark is an on-rails experience through the scenery, covering both indoor and outdoor scenes – it ends up being very CPU limited in the way it is designed. We have taken an offline version of Chernobylite to use in our tests, and we are testing the following settings combinations:
- 360p Low, 1440p Low, 4K Low, 1080p Max
We do as many runs within 10 minutes per resolution/setting combination, and then take averages.
AnandTech | Low Resolution Low Quality |
Medium Resolution Low Quality |
High Resolution Low Quality |
Medium Resolution Max Quality |
Average FPS |
All of our benchmark results can also be found in our benchmark engine, Bench.

AMD discounts old stock until gone __ it is hard to keep up.
I prefer *less than bleeding edge* __ the example you have given is the Ryzen 5 3600.
$149.06 at Amazon has me interested {| ;--|)

3600X was $250 at launch. You are comparing a discounted 3600 price to a newly released CPU... of a higher tier (non-X vs. X)... during a pandemic with mostly heightened tech prices.Prices will come down, and Ryzen 5 5600 is rumored to come in at $220 in early 2021.

You have to back that up ~~~ LOL
The Ryzen 5 5600x is butting heads with the i7-10770K at $387 (or $88 less). Is this one of your Ass Facts?

It will come down just like Ryzen 3000 CPUs went down. Probably in response to Rocket Lake in Q1.Smell This - Thursday, November 5, 2020 - link
I don't know.
The AMD product mix is seriously stout with last gen with +2 threads. a 3700X is killer and comparable to the new 5600X. There will be a 5600 but at $260 will slobber-knock Intel 6-core

nandnandnand did say it was a rumour, so there's no need to be rude. A quick search on Google brought up articles on The Guru of 3D, KitGuru, TweakTown, OC3D, NotebookCheck and TechPowerUp, either referring to a Korean translation or a table from VideoCardz.com. One theory is that AMD is waiting for 400-series BIOS updates to be released.Smell This - Thursday, November 5, 2020 - link
Backed up by WCCF ?? LOL
~~ you guys have bumped your heads

And you're just a troll with no counter-argument, and nothing of interest to add.Smell This - Friday, November 6, 2020 - link
Troll? LOLOnce again, you guys have bumped your heads. It is all a circle-jerk that links back to itself and WCCF

Bigger LOL __ You included searches that have nothing to do with NotebookCheck and TechPowerUp
Who is the TROLL??? HA!
Go away

1) The word "rumor" has been emphasised on various occasions. How you're struggling to comprehend that is beyond me.2) AMD will launch lower-end parts within one or two quarters. It's what they've done since Zen came out in 2017.
3) NotebookCheck did indeed make a news post referencing harukaze5719
4) TechPowerUp did indeed credit the source of their news post to @harukaze5719
