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: Final Fantasy XIV
Despite being one number less than Final Fantasy 15, because FF14 is a massively-multiplayer online title, there are always yearly update packages which give the opportunity for graphical updates too. In 2019, FFXIV launched its Shadowbringers expansion, and an official standalone benchmark was released at the same time for users to understand what level of performance they could expect. Much like the FF15 benchmark we’ve been using for a while, this test is a long 7-minute scene of simulated gameplay within the title. There are a number of interesting graphical features, and it certainly looks more like a 2019 title than a 2010 release, which is when FF14 first came out.
With this being a standalone benchmark, we do not have to worry about updates, and the idea for these sort of tests for end-users is to keep the code base consistent. For our testing suite, we are using the following settings:
- 768p Minimum, 1440p Minimum, 4K Minimum, 1080p Maximum
As with the other benchmarks, we do as many runs until 10 minutes per resolution/setting combination has passed, and then take averages. Realistically, because of the length of this test, this equates to two runs per setting.

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

"Recently, this article was posted, but I couldn't find the post's source. 😭 My search ability is still low…"
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
