The 5980HS is running at up-to 35-54w TDP (Up to OEM)... So it's no surprising she is a performer.

The Ryzen 7 5800U is the more impressive chip at a 25w TDP.

GPU performance wasn't going to move much when the GPU is the same number of CU's, slight bump in clock... But the biggest issue that holds it back is the DDR4 3200mhz memory.

Uhm... no? That's the 5980HX you're describing there. The HS must run at 35W stock (else AMD, who is very stringent on this point after having been screwed over by a lack of oversight on their part with past APUs, will ship the 5900H instead), but can optionally run at a slightly higher TDP, 45W when the dGPU is off in this model. And afaik 45W is the limit for the HS model. If you want to go past 45W, you need the HX - or use a desktop CPU set to a lower TDP with a custom board.

I agree that the 5800U will certainly be more impressive, but I haven't seen a test of that one yet.

You are right of course. I should have double checked my sources rather than rely on wikipedias CPU table.

Are we just gonna start seeing a new gen where devs are like "let's make us a Crysis, but not actually optimise it"?, because it's starting to look that way.

You'd think even before releasing it fully, they'd test these on the latest cards with RT, and try to perfect them before final release.

You make it sound like if Crysis was an optimized game. It wasn't. The optimized one was Warhead, but not the first one.

Crysis was developed with specific hardware in mind... I.E. Intel was chasing clockspeed not IPC/Core Counts, so Crysis was optimized for high frequency CPU's.

The engine was very heavy, it never gave up an expensive effect for a cheaper, albeit lower quality one at the time.
