F1 2020 sees some huge average frame rates put up. And this benchmark shows preference for Intel’s highly-clocked Alder Lake chips, albeit by slim margins.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider clearly likes AMD’s added L3 cache as the processor takes a commanding lead in this title. The performance increase versus Intel’s Core i9-12900K is sizable, but the 15%+ uptick in performance from Zen 3 with 2D cache is even more impressive.

There really isn’t much in it when running Watch Dogs Legion, so it’s fairer to call this one close to a tie even though AMD’s new chip does technically pip the Core i9-12900K to top spot in our chart.
