Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War III
Although the Warhammer 40,000 benchmark responds well to multi-threading, AMD's stock Ryzen 5 2600X still falls to the bottom of our chart, while the Core i5-9400F demonstrates an incremental improvement over the -8400.
Again, overclocking proves to be the differentiator that gives the 2600X a bit of extra life.
Grand Theft Auto V
Grand Theft Auto V favors Intel architectures and, more generally, multi-core designs with high clock rates.
The Core i5-9400F establishes a tangible lead over AMD's Ryzen processors, including the tuned Ryzen 7 2700X. Again, we see the -9400F's slight improvement over Intel's previous-gen -8400.
Hitman
The Core i5-9400F tops AMD's Ryzen-based competition while tying its counterpart.
