AMD Ryzen 5 5600X & Ryzen 9 5900X Review

Not quite so many new records here, but only because these tests are very heavily affected by core counts. The Ryzen 9 3950X still dominates here. That being said, these CPUs are not slacking off and still setting some of the best scores we’ve seen, and still giving Intel a bloody good thrashing.

What more is the single core performance in Cinebench, with both CPUs setting a score far above what we’ve ever seen from AMD or Intel. Intel topped out at 225 on the 10900K, not even close to the 252 of the 5600X and 263 of the 5900X.
