With some of the web browser benchmarks we are also seeing the performance improvement from disabling mitigations on the Ryen 5 5600X being larger than the mitigation performance delta on Zen+ and Zen 2. Again, it is presumably due to the Ryzen 5000 series defaulting to always-on STIBP rather than the conditional behavior seen on Zen 2 as well as Intel CPUs.
