Video encoding saw similar results, with HandBrake showing the Ryis equivalent to the Ryzen 5 1600X at stock speed and matches the Rywhen overclocked, as well as matching the overclocked Ryzen 5 2600X. It outstrips the Core i5-8600K by big margins too, even with the latter overclocked to 5GHz - amazing for a $200 CPU.ĪMD's single-core performance highlighted in the second Cinebench test still lags behind Intel, but it's made big gains here with second-generation Ryzen. In fact, this was just a fraction behind the overclocked Ryzen 5 2600X and faster than Intel's Core i7-8700K at stock speed, nearly matching the stock speed 8-core Ryas well. To start with, the biggest improvement came in overclocking, with my sample reaching 4.15GHz, which is 250MHz higher than my Rywill go with the same voltage of 1.425V. Starting with Cinebench, the Ryis noticeably quicker than its predecessor, adding 7% to the score at stock speed and 8% when overclocked. Overclocked power consumption Antony Leather Cinebench is a real-world rendering-program benchmark while HandBrake is a real-world application, and here I've converted a video file as a benchmark. Overclocking frequencies: Core i5-8600K - 5GHz, Core i7-8700K - 5GHz, Ryzen 5 2600X - 4.2GHz, Ryzen 7 2700X - 4.25GHz, Ryzen 7 1800X - 4.05GHz, Ryzen 5 1600X - 3.95GHz, R圓.9GHz Ry4.05GHz, Ry4.15GHzĬinebench and HandBrake are two multi-threaded benchmarks that make use of all a CPUs cores and threads. I'd like to thank AMD for sending me the official second-generation Ryzen press pack including the Ryzen 7 2700X and Ryzen 5 2600X, Intel for the Core i7-8700K, Overclockers UK for the Core i5-8600K, Corsair for the memory and PSU, Zotac for the graphics card, Samsung for the SSDs, Cooler Master for the processor cooler and Asus and MSI for the motherboards. I've used 3000MHz memory for testing, but I should stress that you'll see a much better performance from AMD CPUs if you use faster memory. ![]() I've tested each CPU at stock speed and then also at the maximum safe overclock I could achieve with each of my samples. The numbers you see here are exactly what you'd get on a real-world, up-to-date system. Enough on specifications and scene-setting, though - let's take a look at performance.īoth my Intel and AMD systems use the latest Windows 10 updates and drivers, including updates and motherboard BIOS versions to patch the latest Spectre and Meltdown security vulnerabilities, which are known to impact performance. It already seems like a bargain given Intel's Core i5-8600K costs $40 more. This is $20 less than its predecessor cost at launch and also $30 less than the Ryzen 5 2600X. One thing that isn't the same, though, is the price, which has fallen along with most other CPUs in the last 12 months, and now sits at $199 for the Ryzen 5 2600. The Rycomes with the Wraith Stealth cooler Antony LeatherĮverything else is the same, such as the cache, with 19MB in total, as well as the cores and threads - six and 12 - and the TDP, which remains at a relatively low 65W. ![]() With the Ryzen 5 2600, though, AMD is looking to shake up the mid-range $200 CPU market and once again offer the best value all-round CPU in a six-core package. Coupled with numerous price cuts, which now see it retailing for less than $180, it's still great value, but as Intel's Coffee Lake and more recently AMD's second generation Ryzen CPUs have shown, the original Ryzen models did lack performance in lightly threaded tasks, including some game titles. ![]() ![]() It lacked a little grunt in some games, but elsewhere it was usually a far better choice than Intel's quad-core CPU. For me it was a great mid-range all-rounder - a crown it wrestled from Intel's Core i5-7600K. ![]()
