Both CPUs were tested installed on the Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero motherboard using BIOS version 3801.

There are 5 test configurations in total, three with the5950Xand two with the3600.

The Ryzen 5 3600 compares Windows 10 performance with Windows 11 featuring the L3 cache latency fix.

We’ll be looking at program, gaming, storage and load time performance.

Moving on to Cinebench, we find some pretty boring results, though not entirely unexpected.

Gaming Benchmarks

Moving on to some gaming benchmarks.

The Cyberpunk 2077 results are similar to Rainbow Six Siege’s and Watch Dogs Legion.

The Ryzen 5 3600 took 11 seconds to load Windows regardless of the version used.

Meanwhile, Windows 11 took 12 seconds as it seemed to take longer to pass the loading screen.

These results are inline with what we found when testing with the Intel CPUs.

Again, this lines up with what we saw before when testing Intel Core processors.

The same is true with Ryzen, especially when looking at software performance.
