In this content, we heavily tuned the memory frequency, timings, Infinity Fabric (to the max it can be on the current AGESA, anyway, which is about 1900MHz on this CPU), and we aligned fclk, uclk, and mclk to 1:1:1. From there, we tuned primary timings and subtimings, resulting in some of the best performance we've yet seen on AMD's Ryzen CPUs. We did the same for Intel and the i5-10600K, maximizing its all-core OC, cache ratio, pushing higher memory frequencies (as it isn't constrained by an FCLK ratio), and tight timings. Of course, we also have the stock AMD Ryzen 5 5600X and Intel i5-10600K results on the charts for easy comparison. The R5 5600X also contests any leads shown by the R9 5900X, 5950X, or R7 5800X when super tuned or heavily overclocked (without doing the same for them). This content should help viewers determine the best gaming CPUs right now.
