It's pretty wild that a CPU can have this much of an effect on game framerates. That definitely defied my expectations. I'm also fascinated that it's much worse on some games, and much better on others.
Personally, I use my GPU for video encoding and mostly play games in the categories where Ryzen seems to underperform, so I won't be picking one of these up. But it's nice to know that AMD is bringing the heat on this front.
- exhilaration 10y ago> I'm also fascinated that it's much worse on some games, and much better on others. That's due to the all the Intel-specific optimizations that game companies have done. Here's an article about it: http://www.pcworld.com/article/3185466/hardware/heres-proof-that-ryzen-can-benefit-from-optimized-game-code.html http://www.pcworld.com/article/3185466/hardware/heres-proof-... "Every processor is different on how you tune it, and Ryzen gave us some new data points on optimization," Oxide’s Dan Baker told PCWorld. "We’ve invested thousands of hours tuning Intel CPUs to get every last bit of performance out of them, but comparatively little time so far on Ryzen."
