Best CPUs of 2021 (Gaming, Workstation, Budget, & Disappointment)

I think having 5900X still be in the top of the charts only behind by 1-3% really shows that going Alder Lake has no benefit in games.
If the new AMD refresh beats ADL in gaming I will for sure buy it when available. I also hope they don’t pass 1.45 volts to that CPU to achieve that performance.

5800x/5900x were great all round buys. ADL is a good ~15% faster depending on the title though.

This 11900k on the other hand should have been called an i7. It's a strange beast, ranging anywhere from OC'd 10700k to well over 5900x performance depending on the game. And it's not intuitive, it does well in games I wouldn't expect it to, and falters in others where I thought it would be great. That said I really like it and the platform a lot, it was just over priced.

These must be new benches. Older ones didn't show this much disparity. Might have to consider hitting the buy button on the 12900K and ASUS Z690 Prime Strix board that is sitting in my cart all weekend.

Think Guru3d's sample of games is pretty crap.

If KAC will pull the triger there will not be any remorse threads from his part.
I'm surprised he hasn't, self control with purchases is not his forte.
It’s in my system specs.KAC enjoys stimulating the economy as much as he enjoyed stimulating...nvm.
