The Witcher 3
Whilst we all wait for Cyberpunk 2077 to be patched into playability, The Witcher 3 reminds us of what CD Projekt Red can do when there is less pressure on them and the world wasn't closed down for a few months. It's still a jaw dropping experience and one of the finest games in history. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X takes home yet another victory here.

Great write up Guv, So good to see AMD competing this well, I still remember your first Ryzen video you did a couple of years ago and those little white box things in the video "OC3D Loves Ryzen"

QuoteWhy no Cyberpunk 2077 benchmark?
I didn't know Intel i5 performed that well, and much cheaper than Ryzen 5. Other than replacing a Ryzen 2000 and keeping your motherboard, I would say Intel is the way to go for a new build.Quote

In my analysis pieces on Cyberpunk, I used a different area for CPU and GPU tests. Our typical test area for the game is not that CPU-heavy, making it useless for CPU-focused performance testing.
Finding a new benchmark area for this one article would have added a lot of work to an already time-intensive testing scenario.
The new i5 does offer a lot of value for gamers. TBH I'm not sure if I'd go AMD or Intel this gen if I was making a gaming system. Both are great options and both are on what appear to be dead-end CPU sockets. DDR5 is coming, and that means that both camps will be using new CPU sockets soon.Quote
