AMD Ryzen 5 1600X and 1500X – light and shadow in duet

The Ryzen 5 1600X and 1500X presented today (and tested) are actually no longer really new, because we find the same archtitecure in the whole CPUs of the Ryzen 7 family. Who knows about AMD's new architecture again ...

Civilization IV

If you like this genre in general and this game in particular, you will especially like the Ryzen 5 1600X. But the Ryzen 5 1500X can also benefit from the active SMT, which is denied to the two Intel four-cores for certain reasons. The game is a fine example of what could happen if everything could be parallelized as nicely as here. Unfortunately, the reality in many of the games that still follow doesn't look so rosy. But it is a beautiful ray of light that makes hope for more.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

The game is a nice example of how sometimes even beat is not everything. Either you use at least one six-nucleus or four-nuclei with SMT, because clock alone is not always everything. The game runs with four cores (no matter how high they are clocked!) not only measurably slower, but also felt more uncircular and a little more hoppy. It is also nice to see how the graphics driver pushes the GPU into the CPU limit and the card, depending on the thread scaling of the CPU, then has to act pretty much independently of the actual CPU clock.
