At the bare minimum, you'll need a quad-core Intel Core i5-7600K or comparable processor. For all other tiers, Remedy recommends at least an AMD Ryzen 7 3700X or Intel equivalent processor (which would mean at least a Core i7-10700K), or an 8-core/16-thread processor that's as ...
Intel has had a feature where you could set a Voltage offset (v-core offset) which allows the CPU to boost itself up or down but just at a higher or lower voltage based on the amount set. Apparently, Ryzen didn't have this feature-- until recently! My Ryzen 7 5800x was also ...
AMD’s own tests show that its Ryzen 7 Pro 3700U is ~1% better than the 8650U in PCMark and up to double in performance when graphics comes into the mix. Obviously, GPU-intensive workloads are the ones where AMD’s APUs outshine Intel’s CPUs. Meanwhile, general-purpose performane of ...
The rest of the results in that chart look reasonable to me, so I don't think it's entirely CPU bound (if it was, the i7-10710U would absolutely trounce the Ryzen 7 3700U, so there's no question that the iGPU plays a large part in those results)...
Even though the Ryzen 7 3700U has 10 Vega Cores, it is weaker than the 8 Radeon Cores of Ryzen 7 4700U. In fact, the Integrated GPU for 4700U is about 28% better than the 3700U. If you’re wondering how AMD managed to make the existing Vega iGPU faster, they did it by Perfor...
