This also allows AMD to push AM4 harder on the market, giving itself the opportunity to future upgrades for AM4 buyers. Meaning OEMs will probably be able to use the 2500X for cheaper gaming systems where auto-overclocking is used as a feature and AMD will thus be able to offer something better for a lower price.

On the other hand, despite 2400G and the 2500X have the same TDP, if I look at the graph with full load power consumption, I can clearly see that the latter has a very generous thermal limit, compared with the 2400G where the thermal envelope seems to be very strictly limited.

I completely agree with the conclusion that the 2300X makes perfect sense, but the 2500X is harder to place in the picture.

IGTrading - Monday, Februlink Thank you Ian for a good review.

AnandTech CPU Gaming 2019 Game ListĪll of our benchmark results can also be found in our benchmark engine, Bench.Īt 1080p and 4K, the extra threads on the 2500X help a lot here. Instead, we run the graphics test, which provides an example of a mid-game setup at our settings. The new version of Civilization has an integrated ‘AI Benchmark’, although it is not currently part of our benchmark portfolio yet, due to technical reasons which we are trying to solve. Perhaps a more poignant benchmark would be during the late game, when in the older versions of Civilization it could take 20 minutes to cycle around the AI players before the human regained control.

As a result, Civilization can taxing on graphics and CPUs as we crank up the details, especially in DirectX 12. With Civilization 6 however, Firaxis went hardcore on visual fidelity, trying to pull you into the game. Truth be told I never actually played the first version, but every edition from the second to the sixth, including the fourth as voiced by the late Leonard Nimoy, it a game that is easy to pick up, but hard to master.īenchmarking Civilization has always been somewhat of an oxymoron – for a turn based strategy game, the frame rate is not necessarily the important thing here and even in the right mood, something as low as 5 frames per second can be enough. Originally penned by Sid Meier and his team, the Civ series of turn-based strategy games are a cult classic, and many an excuse for an all-nighter trying to get Gandhi to declare war on you due to an integer overflow.
