AMD Ryzen 7 2700X and Ryzen 5 2600X in review

AMD's return to the CPU sector last year was reflected in a seemingly endless launch of new processors that could put real pressure on Intel in almost all areas of the desktop PC market. This forced Intel to make the most drastic adjustments to its desktop portfolio in the last decade. Nevertheless, AMD continues to manage to continuously gain market share.

Let us now turn to the newly announced multi-core calculation offensive. Even if the Ryzen were still in the midfield in the real-time preview in the 3ds Max, the post is now going off when calculating. The CPU composite index is in fact the summary of all workspaces that require pure computing power. The Intel Core i9-7900X doesn't have that rating at all, for whatever reason. Mesh also has drawbacks.

The large Intel CPU can only strike back during rendering, with the Ryzen 7 2700X still giving an excellent figure. If you see 3D preview, editing and rendering in direct context, the Ryzen 7 2700X is not a bad choice and is not only equal to the Intel Core i7-8700K, but actually preferable.

Luxrender gives a similar picture, where by the large Core i9 can settle down a bit. But if you look at the price, the Ryzen 7 2700X beats the Core i7-8700K significantly and the Core i7-8600K sees no country at all against the Ryzen 5 2600X.

This then continues in a similar form with Blender, as rendering primarily depends on the highest number of threads at the highest possible clock.

But we also don't want to hide what happens when programs don't scale so nicely over many threads and e.g. at the time of four-core processors. Solidworks is such an example, and of course you have to stay fair, because not everything can be parallelized endlessly and optimally.

Finally, we find the same picture at Creo. The Ryzens are still good in the midfield, but it is not enough for top positions in this program.

Intermediate conclusion

Whenever it is based on pure computing power over as many cores as possible or threads, there is actually no way around the Ryzen CPUs. Not at all, if you keep an eye on the price. The minor weaknesses only come to light if standard applications have been optimised for parallel processing of tasks, or if they have been optimised at all for the parallel processing of tasks. the task is not allowed in the first place.
