In the first wave of new AMD processors with Zen 5 architecture, we took a closer look at a Ryzen 5. The results show many improvements (in speed, in efficiency, in cooling, …) led by unprecedented single-threaded performance. But in terms of the multi-threaded one, it’s still well behind the rival Intel Core i5-14600K CPU, albeit with much better power consumption. Gaming performance? Sometimes strange.

Superb review. Especially concerning energy efficiency, idle power consumption and idle temperatures – you are the only ones that got so many useful info!
