AMD Ryzen 5 1600X and 1500X - light and shadow in duet | Page 6

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 ... Benchmarks in Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) This time we have deliberately made a slightly different selection of games, which also spare us non-practical games with applications forcibly reduced to 720p, because you can meet yourself. 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 for certain reasons for the two Intel four-cores... Grand Theft Auto V The evergreen is no longer completely fresh, but is still welcome. Both Ryzen 5 have unbeated pretty much the lag, whereby the Ryzen 5 1600X with the maximum overclocking to 4 GHz can quite fall again... Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor The game is already on the verge of resting, but it shows really nicely that there can and still be a life beyond the CPU limiit.

Important preliminary remark Due to the better cooling and the completely different hardware (motherboard, RAM, etc.), the updated Windows and new board drivers, we measured all the old Ryzen 7 CPUs again.

Rise of Tomb Raider (DirectX12)

The game is a prime example of how not only bars and cores can make the difference, but a few other things are more crucial. Whether with or without overclocking – the two Ryzen CPUs are completely without chance and lie far behind all Intel counterparts. Not even the fast memory installed for this launch test on the B350 boards changes anything, even if the distance with DDR4 2666 would have been even more stark. We had secretly suggested that the Creators Update for Windows 10 could change that, but it was a misrepresentation. With Lara and Ryzen there will probably be nothing in this life.

GPU limit at its best, but the spice here lies in the frametimes and the Min-FPS. Even if the smaller Intel CPUs Core i5-7500 and 7400 are at first glance to be assigned to the midfield, the disadvantage of the Min-FPS is clearly visible. Perceived purely subjectively in terms of the rounder sequence (and also in the evaluation of the Uneveness index), they are still ahead of the Ryzen CPUs. The better FPS numbers at the bottom cannot therefore conceal the worse variances, which shows once again that one really should evaluate everything.

When it comes to pure computing power, the image of many workstation applications repeats itself (which we will see later): The Ryzen family can score well. Unfortunately, the whole thing is not a game, but a synthetic benchmark, which also proves that it is almost impossible to form any gaming-knaller from a server CPU and vice versa. Because Intel's consumer CPUs definitely have no or no hardly a chance.
