Like most all AMD Ryzen desktop processors, the AMD Rycan also be overclocked and supports hyperthreading technology, where a physical core 2 logical cores will be able to run more computing operations at once.Ī graphics unit is not integrated in the processor, here you have to additionally set dedicated graphics card. In turbomodus, the clock frequency can be increased to up to 3.60 gigahertz, with single-core utilization, or to 3.40 gigahertz, with multi-core utilization. The AMD Ryhas a basic clock frequency of 3.20 gigahertz. With these processors, AMD has blown towards the great counterattack against Intel, to which it is long behind it for many years.
Ryzen 5 1600 cinebench score series#
The AMD Ryis a first generation processor from the Ryzen processor series of AMD. iGPU - FP32 Performance (Single-precision GFLOPS).CPU with the best price/performance ratio.The performance of the smallest Ryzen 5 is still sufficient for occasional gaming sessions and office work, and overclocking can make sense as well. The combination of the lower clocks and the smaller cache that results in lower performance figures is not reflected in the price difference, so the price-performance ratio is worse compared to the Ryzen 5 1600. The Ryzen 5 1400, however, which is currently around 50 Euros (~$56) less expensive, requires more attention from the user: Four cores and eight threads can still be considered "modern", but they are much less future-proof compared to six cores. This is getting less important though, so we do not think it is a big deal and it does not really affect our positive impression of the 1600, because the CPU can beat even the expensive i7 models from Intel in the majority of practical scenarios. The performance of the CPU, which currently retails for around 220 Euros (~$248), is sufficient for complex games as well as all other usage scenarios – in short: Even ambitious users just do not need a more powerful CPU right now.Īs with the more powerful Ryzen CPUs, however, we have to mention the lower single-core performance compared to (much more expensive) Intel CPUs. Our verdict for the Ryis pretty clear: AMD's hexa-core (also) manages to offer high performance at a very competitive price. However, the Core i7-7700K is already ~100 Euros (~$112) more expensive. Looking at the Intel competition, the 1600 sits between the Core i7-7700K and the i7-5960X. It is not surprising that the situation is more drastic in the multi-core test: The Ryis more than 60% faster than the entry-level chip. The end result is still the same: If you require high single-core performance, you will basically have to get an Intel CPU. We can also see the almost linear scaling between the clocks and the Cinebench result, so the cache does not have a big effect in this benchmark. The 1400 on the other hand does not really stand a chance against the in-house competition: The Ryis already 11% faster, the 1800X 22%.

It is interesting that the Ryis on par with the Ryin the single-core test – despite the 100 MHz difference for the Turbo. Cinebench R15 determines the raw CPU performance, and the tool almost scales linear to the clocks when the architecture and the cache size are identical.
