Rm3113 takes gold in 6-core rankings with Ryzen 5 5600X, while Lucky_n00b tops 3DMark Fire Strike with an RX 6800 XT

Yesterday, AMD hardware dominated almost the entire front page of the HWBot overclocking database. While four generations of Ryzen CPUs previously carried the banner for Team Red, they've now been joined by the newly released RX 6000 graphics cards.

French overclocker rm3113 grabbed the top spot for the Ryzen 5 5600X, as well as gold in the 6-core category of Geekbench3 - Multi Core.

Pushing an impressive sample of the CPU to 5750 MHz, the enthusiast managed to score a massive 48,580 points:

The RAM was running at 5002 MHz with 15-13-12-21 timings.

Following his French colleague, the smiling Indonesian overclocker going by Lucky_n00b used a newly arrived Radeon RX 6800 XT graphics card to set a world record in the 3DMark - Fire Strike benchmark, scoring 47,932 points:

The GPU was clocked at an impressive 2650 MHz, while the VRAM ran at its stock speed of 16,000 MHz. As for the CPU... wait, no, it wasn't an Intel Core i9-10900K. The Radeon RX 6800 XT was paired with AMD's flagship Ryzen 9 5950X, overclocked to 5423 MHz (a 59.50% increase over stock).

It's an interesting CPU choice, but given the massive architectural improvements of Zen 3, it's clear that you no longer need a top-tier Intel chip to compete in graphics benchmarks.
