Recently upgraded the PC from a 4790k, and it's a very nice improvement (slightly overclocked, that one did 11:47 in benchmark 3). Happy with the results, and I have a feeling the RAM speed might be fairly important - the Kingston 64Gb set I have has XMP speed of 5600 CL40, but since it's Hynix M it can be overclocked essentially up to the Ryzen memory controller limit - so I got mine to 6200 CL32 (with other secondary timings also slightly improved). That dropped the benchmark 3 from 5:18 to 5:10, and bench 4 from 11:42 to 11:00 (although I can't remember if I ran the non-overclocked bench in this case after a game restart or not) .
That's another thing I noticed is that closing and re-starting the game has quite a serious effect though - the first run always seems slightly faster than subsequent runs.
Also I'm running my CPU in the 105W eco mode, mostly so the fans stay nice and quiet... might be a few more seconds to gain by removing that limit, but also... maybe not. Might try testing that at some point.
