Benchmarks: CPU
There are plenty of high-end systems in our charts, but when it comes to more mainstream solutions, the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 is quite possibly our chip of choice. The 65W processor may trail Intel equivalents in the single-thread PiFast test, yet throughput is decent enough, and the six-core, 12-thread part proves its worth in the multi-threaded benchmarks.
What's interesting is that two systems in the charts use the same CPU - Chillblast's Fusion Trigger GTX 1660 Ti and Scan's 3XS Gamer 1660 Ti - and the Scan appears to hold a slight advantage. The reason for that is memory speed.
