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.

It's nothing compared to the price premiums Intel used to charge for their performance leadership.Diggodo - Monday, January 11, 2021 - link
You might want to rethink what you've just claimed.. and I'm very confused why you would think 5950x is worth it unless you absolutely need the extra cores for work. Its $750 MSRP compared to $550 🤦♂️. I'm curious why you say otherwise because every Intel 10th gen-11th gen chip have been duds really.The 5900x is a steal for it's price and is a killer chip. The price hike means nothing because the 3900x was 499 when it came out.

Not just in price/performance this time, in performance period.leexgx - Thursday, November 5, 2020 - link

Yeah, probably Intel serverDrkrieger01 - Thursday, November 5, 2020 - link
Just my $0.02 as a sysadmin, it's likely a limited bandwidth issue, not server access/drive IOPS.lmcd - Thursday, November 5, 2020 - link

Intel will buy TSMC and Rip out Amd :))Hifihedgehog - Thursday, November 5, 2020 - link
Wishful thinking. That's like a Bulldog trying to eat a Great Dane.fazalmajid - Thursday, November 5, 2020 - link
Er, TSMC’s market cap is double Intel’s.
