Are there any games that recommend an Alder Lake or Ryzen 5800X CPU yet?

Are there any games that recommend 12th gen Intel CPUs yet? Or, games that haven't been released yet?

EDIT - Looks like Farcry 6 with raytracing recommends a 5600X or a 5900X (or 10600K /10700K), link here:

Pretty steep requirements, as it requires AVX and AVX2 CPU instructions.

A 10700K is recommended as an ideal spec, for Forza Horizon 5:

Are there any other games with similar CPU recommendations?

Quick update - It looks like Halo Infinite recommends a Ryzen 5900X or 11900K on Ultra settings, here is the requirements table:

Gotta wonder why Microsoft didn't just put an Alder Lake CPU in the reqs, which should perform better than Intel's 11th gen CPUs (The 11900K is a daft recommendation, given it's current price).

Exactly, IPC, followed by clock speed. Cache matters a lot too.

I still think 8 cores is a good idea though (to keep up with console core count), but Intel's new 'E' smaller cores seem like a waste of time and resources for desktop CPUs. Mostly a marketing device for laptops.

It's interesting that Intel has said nothing about the 'Big.little' design regarding future CPUs like Meteor Lake. I think because it was a half measure and won't be needed in Meteor Lake. It wasn't progress, just a side step

I'm not sure if they help or not, maybe a little. The performance advantage these CPUs have is higher IPC. They also still clock a bit higher than AMD's CPUs, so it appears to be a bit of both.
