Btw if we're looking at CPU performance for consoles, the closest CPU's on desktop is probably the 2700X (in single core and multi) and that's been long superseded by modern 6 core CPU's. At least in single core performance.. which is bigger factor for 3D rendering. Looking at aggregate data from reviewers we can see how SC scales with 3D performance throughout the generations; down to the latest architectures like Alderlake, not to mention things like cache sizes etc.

Since the CPUs are Zen 2, I would more closely compare them to an undervolted, underclocked 3700X, which is essentially what it is in the end. Even with their lowered speed, a 2700X simply wouldn't cut it as comparison, the jump from Zen+ to Zen 2 was too big for that.

And yes, a 5600 trumps a 2700X in pretty much every single metric, but for longevity, I would still prefer having those 2 extra cores from the 5700X if I were to build a PC now. As games have started to become better at core utilization, I don't think it would be a waste a couple years down the line.
