• Early 'reviews' of AMD Ryzen 5 5600X show it outperforms the Intel Core i9-9900k

According to SiSoftware, two ``early'' reviews of the upcoming AMD Ryzen 7 5800X and Ryzen 5 5600X processors show impressive performance gains with the Zen 3 architecture over its predecessor, Zen 2. The benchmarking software developer published performance reviews of the two Ryzen 5000 series processors online this week, showing around a 15-40% improvement over the previous generation Ryzen 5 3600X for Ryzen 5 5600X and a 25-40% improvement for Ryzen. 7 5800X on the Ryzen 7 3700X. This is speculative at this point, as Videocardz points out, as it's unclear if SiSoftware was in possession of processor review units, or if it was aggregating data from other people who were reviewing. processors using your software.

SiSoftware says Ryzen 5 5600X outperforms Intel Core i9-9900k

In a critical claim from the benchmark manufacturer, the six-core Ryzen 5 5600X was apparently able to beat the eight-core Intel Core i9-9900k, which would be a huge win for Team Red if that were true. SiSoftware also described the performance of the Ryzen 7 5800X as being equivalent to a 2-core Zen 12 processor, like the Ryzen 9 3900X. "We certainly didn't expect performance to be this good," the developer said. We haven't tested the new AMD processors ourselves, so it remains to be seen if those numbers hold up, but if they do, Team Red will have won their battle with rival Intel.
