Lastly our gaming benchmarks are the real world application of the results we’ve seen on the preceding two pages. Civilization VI is all about how long it takes to calculate a complex turn. Far Cry 5 is a good all-rounder. Shadow of the Tomb Raider stretches every facet of your setup. Total Warhammer II has a simple and complex battle scene and we’re testing both. We’re also showing the average FPS as well as the minimum FPS, with the minimum being good for indicating smoothness. Nobody likes a stutter after all. As well as here we'll separate them into individual games on the following pages, for clarity's sake.

In fact 11600K is probably the go to CPU for gaming builds now, until AMD undercut it with a 5600 non-X. But I don't think they have the fabrication capacity. |
The i5 having stock is their only possible power move when AMD stock is quite hard to come by at the momentQuote

But seeing how Intel has their own fabs, not entirely unexpected.
Thanks for the reviews! That's a massive amount of benchmarks.Quote
Makes me feel good about my 5800X purchase a few days ago, Along with this review and a fair others today, Looks like both CPU manufacturers are about equal when it comes to gaming.Quote
Who would have thought Intel would have a Bulldozer moment
