i5 11600K vs AMD Ryzen 5 5600X with RTX3080 Gaming Review

Borderlands 3
Ah Borderlands 3. A game which redeemed the reputation of Gearbox after the terrible Borderlands The Pre-Sequel, only for them to go down the "gouge the public" route, with a £100 full edition that quickly turned into not full with a second season pass which costs as much as many full titles. It's a great game, but even EA would blanch at treating their public so badly. Both CPUs perform well, as we'd expect, with the nod just given to the 5600X when overclocked and the Core i5 when at stock.

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"

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
