Why would you run a benchmark with a for a 100$ cpu with a 5090 GPU!?!
So that it's as CPU-bottlenecked as possible, thus measuring CPU performance the most. They also noted they ran the test with a 4060 as more representative.
Open the article and ctrl-f for "5090". The first mention explains why.
Nothing new here.
12100F was the ultra-budget gaming king 4 years ago and still is now (efficiency too).
Unless you need 6 physical cores for productivity, in which case the 5500 is best (way cheaper per core too at $70/6).
