Cyberpunk 2077 CPU Benchmarks: AMD vs. Intel Bottlenecks, Stutters, & Best CPUs

Our Cyberpunk 2077 CPU benchmarks look at AMD Ryzen vs. Intel, including Ryzen 5900X, 5600X, i9-10900K, & 10600K chips and dating back to the R5 2600 and i5-8600K CPUs.

The Cyberpunk 2077 CPU benchmarks include new stuff, like the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, R9 5900X, Intel i9-10900K, i5-10600K, and older CPUs, like the AMD R5 3600, R3 3300X, R7 3700X, R5 2600, and R7 2700, alongside the Intel i9-9900K, i7-8700K, and i5-8600K. We tested all of this with the latest #Cyberpunk2077 patch as of 12/13/2020. No additional manual modifications were made for this test - it is representative of the game natively. Testing methodology is comparable to our #Cyberpunk GPU benchmarks, so you can check the above-linked video for more information on that. For components, we used what our standardized CPU benchmarking methodology for second half of 2020 laid-out previously. We tested the game at 1080p and 1440p, including Low, Medium, and High presets (no ray tracing). Of course, as you exit lower presets, the GPU becomes more of a bind than the CPU, but it's still useful to see that data to understand at what point the CPU matters less. The biggest takeaway, though, is that frametime performance can be highly variable based on the game's action, but it only becomes a problem on specific CPUs. As such, you'll need more than just bar charts to really see those issues emerge. We show them in our frametime plots.
