Let me give you some statistics about how Overwatch behaves, with different configs, settings and presets, in the context of RX 5500, and what AMD released today in their announcement.. This is a game that I can tell you a Lot about, because I play a lot, tested a lot, and watched a lot of videos, of experiments to see if there are any performance patterns.
So here goes.
GTX 1660 Ti with Core i5 9400F, in 1080p, Epic preset averages 155 FPS, with 9700F averages 156 FPS in those settings, sometimes hitting 157 FPS. There is no difference above this, when it goes for Intel CPUs.
With R5 3600X it averages 140 FPS, with R7 3800X it averages 142 FPS, with 2700X(!) it averages 138 FPS, and this. All of those scores are based on data from different maps, different situations, etc. On AVERAGE this is what you should see in Overwatch with this GPU, and CPU combos.
GTX 1660 averages with 9400F 142 FPS in this game, settings, and preset, with 9700F it averages 144 FPS, sometimes hitting 145 FPS. The same situation, you go over 9700F in performance - fully GPU bound, and no difference between CPUs. With R5 3600X it averages 130 FPS, with 3800X it averages 132 FPS, with R7 2700X it averages 126 FPS.
Those are tests of Overwatch that me and my friend has done on those CPUs around late August, data also comes from review sites that test Overwatch, like Hardware Canucks on those GPUs, as a point of validation(Canucks got exactly 144 FPS for GTX 1660, and 157 FPS average for GTX 1660 Ti, in 1080p, Epic presets, with 9900K). All of the YouTube channels that tested those GPUs and CPUs in those configs got similar results.
If we go by this data, 135 FPS with 3800X, that AMD has done, in their testing puts it exactly between GTX 1660 and 1660 Ti, with this GPU being actually faster(in this game), and with Intel CPU we should expect 15 FPS more, with up to 150 FPS, on average.

Some Japanese site claimed that the tests were done with 3600X and 3800X. If it is with 3800X - whatever, considering the data, from this post.What were the RAM timings? Was the 3600X in the 1660Ti rig running PBO or stock? Where did you find the data on endnote RX-383? I thought they ran those 5500 numbers on a 3800X.
