There are too many variables. Maybe with high heat CPUs (this is an example) the 5000 performs better, or low low low heat CPUs the 5000 performs better.

If block performance is so dependent on system variables (which it almost always is), then simply ranking the blocks on a 100-pt scale is inadequate. After reading a guide to block selection, we shouldn't have to speculate about which blocks suit which systems.

Even that can be misleading, because it ignores the RBX's much stronger cooling vis-a-vis flow rate. (And it resembles JoeC's comments that irritate Cathar so...
