At that point it was kind of old news, so we moved on to other things.
The Ryzen 5 5500 and 5600 are vastly different products.
Surely, they are both Zen 3 based, 6-core/12-thread processors, but they’re based on different designs.
Whereas the 5600 is a Vermeer model, the 5500 uses the APU design codenamed Cezanne.
What isn’t odd is the fact that the 5500 is slower than the 3600 in this title.
So a disappointing start for the entry-level Zen 3 part.
Cyberpunk 2077is primarily GPU limited, even with the dialed down high quality preset.
Performance in F1 2021 is similar between the 3600 and 5500.
Moving on to Forza Horizon 5, we find once again that the 5500 is delivering 3600-like performance.
Since the 5500 and 3600 are basically identical, here’s a per game comparison with the 5600.
