4K Minimum with RTX 2080 Ti
By contrast to 1080p Max, our 4K Minimum testing aims at finding differences between CPUs at a playable resolution. There is still pixels to churn, but the 2080 Ti should at least be hitting 60 FPS in most games here.
A full list of results at various resolutions and settings can be found in our Benchmark Database.
No real change in Chernobylite.
Civilization 6 gets a smaller increase in performance here than the 1080p Maximum test, but there's still a benefit over the previous generation. That being said, the AMD desktop CPUs with more cache pull ahead a lot here.
Deus Ex seems to come to an asymptotic limit, and while the 4000G APUs were behind the curve, the 5000G APUs are solidly there.
All CPUs pretty much hit a limit in FF15 above and Far Cry 5 below.
GTA 5 hits an odd glitchy mess around 180 FPS, and the new 5000G CPUs can push the RTX 2080 Ti in that direction a bit further - at this point it's probably best to start cranking up some detail to avoid it.

None of the 1st gen PCIe 4.0 M.2 NVMe SSDs did, in fact. A lot of them still don't. And if you're not running it at PCIe 4.0, then it's probably also running a bit cooler.

Currently 5600G and 5600X are at the same price in my country. Should I get the 5600G? I already have a GPU so having an integrated one is only useful in case the GPU breaks or needs to go under warranty and I still can use the PC...mode_13h - Tuesday, August 10, 2021 - link
I wouldn't get the G. The X is faster in every single benchmark, and sometimes substantially! Plus, you get PCIe 4.0, in case that's ever of interest.If you just want a backup GPU, so you're not completely dead in the water, then maybe pick up a used low-end model (especially when GPU prices cool off, a bit). I'm seeing used RX 550's for < $100, which is roughly performance-equivalent.
If you don't care about performance, then you can go even older. I have a HD 5450 as a sort of last-resort fallback, and those are CHEAP! That's pre-GCN, but I know it still works on Linux. I think it shouldn't be too hard to find something a bit newer that's also cheap, though. Or, if you have some friends who would loan you an obsolete GPU in a pinch, that's also an option worth considering.

The "Ryzen 5 APUs (65W)" table on page 1 lists the Ryzen 5 CPUs with 8 cores / 16 threads. Should be 6/12 instead.plonk420 - Tuesday, August 10, 2021 - link
thanks for the core to core latency tests! looks like RPCS3 will definitely benefit from it \o/Oxford Guy - Wednesday, August 11, 2021 - link
‘In our largest sub-test, the Intel processors crack on ahead,’Did I miss the stuff about performance-per-watt?
If an Intel chip needs a boatload more power to do the barely faster work, how is that a victory for Intel’s chip?
Performance-per-watt is important when we’re dealing with today’s 14nm vs. ‘7nm’ situation.
There should be an entire page devoted to performance-per-watt.

There is indeed a page on power consumption, but the most revealing charts only compared the three AMD 5000G-series processors to each other. That was a painful omission.Intel got included in the peak power chart, but we all know that peak power is hardly the whole story.

‘There is indeed a page on power consumption’Indeed, there is no page on performance-per-watt — and the article continues this site’s erroneous tradition of claiming that getting a slightly higher score in a benchmark whilst using a ton more power constitutes a victory.
Context is key. These articles should pay more mind to practical context, rather than things like pumping 1.45 volts into Rocket Lake and ignoring power consumption failure (vis-a-vis the competition) when examining a benchmark.

FWIW, I was trying to agree with you. Their "Power Consumption" page had several key omissions.Oxford Guy - Sunday, August 15, 2021 - link
Regardless... peak power isn’t enough to constitute a page on performance per watt.
