Synthetic & Awarding Benchmarks

Okay well we might as well outset here, the Cinebench R15 results. This is where the fun began for me, though it did apace become somewhat frustrating. The multi-threaded score of 1624 pts for the Ryzen seven 1800X is incredible. AMD advertised 1601 pts so we are well on track here. However AMD stressed that the single-thread performance has to be hitting at to the lowest degree 160 pts or the CPU isn't boosting correctly.

I tried three different motherboards while testing and the best event I got was 154 pts on the Asrock X370 Taichi. The Asus and Gigabyte boards went as low as 148 pts in this examination. So going forward I'm down around 5% on what AMD claims the single thread performance should be at. For those wondering for the most part my 1800X chip was clocked at simply 3.seven GHz for this examination but on occasion briefly clocked upwardly as high equally 4.one GHz. Temperatures didn't encounter to be an issue either as the chip but ran at just over 50 degrees when all cores were active.

AMD too tells me that other reviewers take reached and even exceeded 160 pts, that said I do know of others who oasis't, so I'm hoping a time to come BIOS update tin solve the issue.

The 1700X likewise looked mighty impressive when looking at the multi-threaded operation scoring 1529 pts. The unmarried thread score came in at 143 pts and that'southward not bad, that places it just ahead of the Core i7-5960X and simply backside the 6800K. This is too similar to the single threaded performance of the Ivy Bridge 3770K for example.

So to recap: astonishing multi-threaded performance with reasonable single thread results, it will exist interesting to run into how this impacts real world testing.

The last constructed benchmark I had time to wait at was PCMark'south Creative examination. Here the 1800X produced a respectable 8802pts and while that is lower than the 6700K and 7700K processors, it did outpace the 5960X and 6800K processors.

The 1700X was 6% slower, dropping information technology downwardly aslope the 6800K and 6600K processors. Even so overall decent results for the Ryzen processors though it'southward admittedly hard to judge overall operation from this test and so allow'southward move on.

The Monte Carlo simulation is an old favorite and this heavy Excel workload crushes weak CPUs. The sometime FX-8370 took five seconds to consummate the workload, making Ryzen more than than twice equally fast hither.

The 1700X vanquish the 5960X by a reasonable margin taking simply 2.27 seconds. Granted, 300 milliseconds isn't a lot but it does mean the AMD processor was 13% faster.

The 1800X of form was faster over again taking just 2.13 seconds. The fastest desktop processor which is also by far the most expensive, the Core i7-6950X, is able to complete this test in ane.7 seconds. The 1800X's performance was yet mighty impressive.

The vii-Zip dictionary test sees the 1800X and 5960X go caput to head and the result is a dead heat. Meanwhile, the 1700X had no trouble out-muscling the six-cadre, 12-thread 6800K in this examination. So another keen showing for AMD'south new eight-core Ryzen processors.

Those of yous who spend a good bargain of time encoding videos in programs such every bit Premiere Pro will love what Ryzen has to offer. Premiere is more often than not best handled past something like the 7700K overclocked to the max, but hither we see the 1800X delivering truly impressive results out of the box.

Completing the workload in 585 seconds made it a whisker faster than the 5960X and 9% faster than the 7700K. The 1700X was also impressive, taking simply 618 seconds. These are truly remarkable results.

Unfortunately, due to technical difficulties that hindered my benchmarking progress these are all the application tests I was able to bear. Next up I take the results from four games.
