AMD Ryzen 5000 Zen 3 Desktop CPU’s gaming performance benchmarks have leaked ahead of their launch today by YouTuber, Pichau. The benchmarks show the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, Ryzen 7 5800X, and the Ryzen 5 5600X sitting comfortably ahead of their Intel 10th Generation rivals in a range of gaming titles.

The benchmarks were carried out on similar test platforms which featured the three AMD Ryzen 5000 Desktop CPUs, Intel’s Core i9-10900K 10 Core CPU (stock & overclock), and the Ryzen 5 3600 XT Zen 2 Desktop CPU. The test platform consisted of 16 GB of DDR4-3600 MHz (Team group T-Force) memory, a 1 TB CARDEA Z440 SSD, a 1050W Fonte PSU, and the respective B550 and Z490 motherboards for each processor. The processors were tested with a GeForce RTX 3070 graphics card.

Coming straight to the tests, there are a total of 15 titles that were tested at a resolution of 1080p. In almost all titles, the AMD Ryzen 5000 Desktop CPUs, even the Ryzen 5 5600X, were able to out-perform Intel’s Core i9-10900K and that too at overclocked speeds of 5.0 GHz. The only exceptions were GTA V, Red Dead Redemption II, and Strange Brigade in which the Intel Core i9-10900K beat all three Ryzen 5000 Desktop CPUs with huge margins.

AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 6 Core Zen 3 Desktop CPU Full Review Leaks Out Too

In addition to the gaming performance results, the first review of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X Zen 3 CPU has also leaked out by ITHardware (via Videocardz). The site claims to have a sample of the chip but no CPU was shown. The CPU was tested on an MSI MEG X570 ACE motherboard which was equipped with 32 GB of DDR4-3600 MHz memory along with a GeForce RTX 2080 Ti graphics card.

In terms of overclocking, the CPU was pushed to a stable overclock of 4.8 GHz with 1.275V. We already saw the CPU running at 4.75 GHz on air cooling and 4.85 GHz on water-cooling yesterday. The CPU was unable to hit 4.9 GHz which might be the limit for the 6 core chip since it was also being pumped with 1.4 Volts.

Before moving to the performance results, the Tech outlet also carried out temperature & power measurements for the CPU. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X runs much cooler than the Ryzen 5 3600X & sees a temperature reduction of 14C over its predecessor. When overclocked, the CPU is 9C hotter than the stock Ryzen 5 3600X and 2C hotter than an overclocked Ryzen 5 3600X. We should also keep in mind that the Ryzen 5 3600X didn’t have as much of an overclocking headroom as the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X.

AMD Ryzen 5 5600X CPU Temperatures:

Power numbers see a 20-25W drop over the Ryzen 5 3600X while overclocking leads to 40W higher power consumption than a stock and 20W higher power consumption than an overclocked Ryzen 5 3600X CPU.

AMD Ryzen 5 5600X CPU Power Figures:

Coming to the gaming performance benchmarks, we see a repeat of what we saw in the leaked gaming numbers above. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X is on par with the Intel Core i9-10850K, a 5GHz+ processor in the majority of titles, and even outperforms it in CS: GO, Battlefield 1 and World of Tanks and 1080p resolution. The CPU is significantly ahead of the Core i5-10400F and the AMD Ryzen 5 3600X which is absolutely amazing.
