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.

The following benchmarks for compute performance stand for themselves and would almost no longer have to be commented on if the additional performance had not increased so much compared to the previous generation. However, the VRMark, which is not so ideal for AMD, shows that things are going right, especially if you overclock the CPU and memory.

In the AI test of CIV VI, the OC does not play such a big role, but the Ryzen 7 2700X is almost the same, even without OC,

In the Time Spy of the 3DMark, only the large Core i9-7900X is in front, but it also costs more than twice as much. And it is hardly coolable (unheaded) when overclocked with conventional means.

The physics test of the 3DMark Fire Strike leaves the exact same image at the top. Here, however, the Ryzen 5 2600X benefits more clearly, because it can even overclock against the Ryzen 7 1800X at normal clock speed.
