Test rigs
For our tests, we used a total 3 test systems … the 1st system is comprised of an ASRock Phantom Gaming B550-ITX motherboard with a Ryzen 5 5600X, while the 2nd second system is powered by a Ryzen 7 3700X siting on an ASRock X570 Creator motherboard. And finally, the 3rd system features the Intel Core i9-10900K processor along with an ASRock Z490 Steel Legend motherboard. All three systems includes a PCIE M.2 SSD and 16GB of DDR4-3200 ram in dual channel mode.
All tests were conducted at default clock speeds at a resolution of 1920×1080. High or Ultra settings enabled where possible.

Benchmark Comparison
We want to compare the performance difference between the following systems …
- Ryzen 5 5600X (with B550 motherboard) – 1st Column
- Ryzen 7 3700X (with X570 motherboard) – 2nd Column
- Intel Core i9-10900K (with Z490 motherboard) – 3rd Column
I’ll let the numbers do all the talking …
