Benchmarks for AMD’s Ryzen 7 5800X have surfaced (via APISAK) at the Ashes of the Singularity benchmarking site. The discovery not only confirms that red team is skipping a beat and adopting the 5000 Series nomenclature for its Zen 3 processors, but that its 8-core “Vermeer” SKUs may perform even better than Intel’s 10-core offerings.

According to comparisons shared by Hexus, the Ryzen 7 5800X manages to hit 167 FPS in the Crazy 4K preset (normal batch). Intel’s Core i9-10900K, on the other hand, only achieves 136 FPS. While there are many factors at play (e.g., memory capacity and speed), we’re seeing optimistic estimates of up to 20 percent higher performance for the Ryzen 7 5800X.

We’ll point out again that AMD’s Ryzen 7 5800X is an 8C/16T processor, while Intel’s Core i9-10900K is a 10C/20T one. Intel is going to be in even bigger trouble if these benchmarks are an accurate representation of how the CPUs compare.
