If I was Intel and I looked at some of the benchmarks, I'd be having nightmares about Zen 4. Alder Lake S with all of it's DDR5 6000, PCI-E Gen 5 and a completely new Arch getting steamrolled in some benches by a 2 year old Zen 3 with more cache is insane!

And that's not the only one either.

Crazy gains just from upping the L3 cache on a single-CCX. Do want, but not at full price. only a 8% gain at 1440P (on average from the 5600X) though on certain games like FC 5, there is an insane jump in performance. At 4K GPU bottlenecks come into play and there's no difference in more recent mid/top tier CPU's. The embargo releases soon so it'll be interesting to see results on higher tier GPU's like the 3090/6900XT, which is where next gen's mid gen cards should be at or better.

But yeah this is impressive for Zen 3. Zen 4 with a sizable jump in IPC and modest boost in clocks.. is going to be blood bath lol.
