Tomb Raider 3 for Windows has 64-bit SIMD MMX software render.
1920x1080p 32bit color and texture Bilinear Filtering enabled are fast on Ryzen 5 7600X.

Clearly he isn't talking about Ryzen 5 7600X level performance. In the late 90s and early 2000s it became obvious that CPUs of the day would not be able to render fast enough at higher resolutions. I got a Voodoo card to run Tomb Raider because software rendering wasn't up to the task.
Recently I bought a Lenovo 3000j with a 3GHz CPU and 4GB RAM which should be plenty fast enough to run user-created games made with Tomb Raider Level Editor (bundled with Tomb Raider Last Revelation in 1999). However I found that on anything higher than 320x200 it was too slow. This is totally down to the poor performance of the integrated graphics controller.
