Now focussing on 1440p results – a more appropriate resolution for high-end gaming hardware. Here, we expect to see the performance margins squeezed as the effect of GPU performance saturation holds a greater influence.

There’s little difference to note between any of the CPUs in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla at 1440p.

The same can be said for Borderlands 3, though the new Ryzen 7 5800X3D does take a small, technical victory for average FPS coupled with a minor loss for 1% low numbers.

Far Cry 6 is practically a tie between Alder Lake and the new Ryzen processor. AMD clearly deserves credit though for its performance improvements brought about with the new cache setup, as highlighted by the jump in 1% low FPS data.
