Gaming: Far Cry 5
The latest title in Ubisoft's Far Cry series lands us right into the unwelcoming arms of an armed militant cult in Montana, one of the many middles-of-nowhere in the United States. With a charismatic and enigmatic adversary, gorgeous landscapes of the northwestern American flavor, and lots of violence, it is classic Far Cry fare. Graphically intensive in an open-world environment, the game mixes in action and exploration.
Far Cry 5 does support Vega-centric features with Rapid Packed Math and Shader Intrinsics. Far Cry 5 also supports HDR (HDR10, scRGB, and FreeSync 2). We use the in-game benchmark for our data, and report the average/minimum frame rates.

It would be interesting to get comparative data on the 2124G and the 2126G to see if 4/8 or 6/6 would perform better.dgingeri - Monday, March 11, 2019 - link
er, sorry, meant the 2144G, not the 2124G.Stuka87 - Wednesday, March 13, 2019 - link
In my experience, real cores perform better than hyper-threaded cores. So I would be on the 6/6.yankeeDDL - Monday, March 11, 2019 - link
Is it me of the $328 xeon often loses (and sometimes by a sizable margin) to the $199 Ryzen 2600?RSAUser - Monday, March 11, 2019 - link
Definitely, but here the power envelope is important for the test, which Anandtech doesn't seem to give. It's quite worrisome how most of those Xeons are operating outside of their power envelope, that E-2174G that you are referring to is pulling 85W for a rated 71W, so Intel gives a P2 power limit. Why bother with the normal TDP then? The 2600 seems to be owning price/performance and TDP/performance. Question there is EEC memory support, and the guarantee/testing including with Xeons. That's why I mentioned including TR in the benchmarks, or at least the 2700X.This is going to be interesting when AMD releases their 7nm products.

All AMD CPUs based on Zen or Zen+ supports EEC RAM. It's up to the MB manufacturer if they have included the support on their MBs. For any workstation build where you don't need the memory bandwidth or superior number of PCIe lanes the TR series offer, you'd use the Ryzen Pro series, not the consumer desktop series.mode_13h - Monday, March 11, 2019 - link
I seem to recall reading that at least some of the Zen-based APUs are lacking ECC-support. I'd love to be proven wrong...notashill - Tuesday, March 12, 2019 - link
AMD has directly confirmed that all Raven Ridge APUs support ECC.https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/amd-ama-start...

You seem to know nothing.ondma - Monday, March 11, 2019 - link
The 2600 goes over its TDP as well. It actually goes over its TDP by 20%, pretty much the same percentage as the hex core Intel cpus. And as usual, Anand is using an antiquated dgpu for the gaming tests.
