AMD Ryzen 9 5900X Zen 3 CPU Review

Shadow of the Tomb Raider

Shadow of the Tomb Raider flips AMD Zen 3 back into another chart-topping result, and this time by a notable margin. This game clearly likes the cache and latency enhancements made to Zen 3, as proven by the drastic performance uptick versus Zen 2.

At 1440p, the graphics workload is demanding enough to close the Zen 3 performance lead versus Intel. But AMD’s new Ryzen chips still prove a better option for high refresh rate gamers than Zen 2.
