guys guys you won't believe where I've
been or when I've returned from the far
off time of Q3 2017 after the launches of AMD's ryzen 5
and ryzen 3 and you don't want to know
what happens between now and then but anyway that's not important right now
what is important is I've brought back a
little souvenir Welcome to our ear early
preview of ryzen 3 and ryzen
5 the Phoenix oour is a full-sized
minimalistically designed keyboard complete with Cherry MX switches and a
new white backlit variant check it out at the link
below okay okay so I'm no do brown and I
drive a Lambo not a DeLorean so we
should just get this out of the way right now we don't actually have a ryzen
5 or a ryzen 3
chip or do we no no we don't this right
here is our ryzen 7 1800x and what we're going to do is use
our Motherboard BIOS to match the core
counts and frequencies that AMD has
announced and see how they might stack
up you may have your doubts about this
method but we've demonstrated in the past that it works shockingly well in
this video here so which chips will we
be testing then well aside from our ryzen 7 1800x and
1700x as real world baselines and a core
i7 7700 K to rep present the blue team
we're taking the ryzen 5600x and 1400x and the ryzen 3 1200X
Forest spin we'll be doing it all with
our replacement ASUS crossair 6-based
ryzen test bench and as for our GPU
we'll be testing with our new FPS per dollar high performance King the GTX
1080 TI now considering that the highest
clocked r 5 CPU is still a 3.6 GHz base
4 GHz boost chip the same as the 1800x
we're pretty certain that we're not going to see any performance difference
in single-threaded tasks with the 1600 X
making it slower in multi-threaded workloads but potentially a wicked
gaming chip there are some things to
keep in mind with these tests as AMD's
Precision boost is disable AED the moment a custom frequency is set we've
had to lock the frequencies of our slower clocked virtual CPUs since
Precision boost and xfr only kicked in
in lightly threaded workloads in our testing we chose to split the difference
between their base frequencies and maximum xfr clocks that is 3.75 GHz for
the 1400x and 3.6 GHz for the
1200X this clearly isn't 100 100%
accurate particularly since that puts our lower end chips running at a higher
base frequency while at full loads it
should still give us a ballpark representation for our overall
performance analysis across all of our tests finally we're uncertain at this
time whether disabling cores on ryzen
also disables extra cash so do keep that
in mind with all that boring stuff out of the way now though let's kick it off
with our gaming benchmarks today at 1080p since these are mid-range CPUs
that we're simulating we see our virtual 1600x performing better in DSX mankind
divided than the lower clocked but pricier
1700x rise of the Tomb Raider shows us more of the same while for Honor shows
our, 1400x also performing well with its
higher base frequency sadly an artifact of our methodology
since ryzen doesn't boost for that long at full load GTA 5 clearly will take all
the course and Cycles it can get while Ghost Recon wildlands on the other hand
shows only the i7 7700 K's
single-threaded performance pulling away with a measurable lead Doom gives the
7700k a much more significant lead with the ryzen series making a pretty linear
slope at after that and finally like GTA 5 Crisis 3 shows again a thirst for
everything with our 1200 X falling far behind thanks to its mere four cores and
four threads moving on to synthetics 3D
Mark shows our ryzen platform generally outperforming the
7700k until we get all the way to our quad course and the same is true of szip
where even our 1600x outperforms its
more expensive Intel rival PC Mark is
another highlight for AMD the 1600 X's performance is close to the 1800x and
another instance where our methodology benefited our 1400x in a way that won't
quite hold true in the real world the
1600x again pulls ahead in the single-threaded Y cruncher test but our
multi-threaded test brings us closer to
a kind of linear slope cinebench 2 shows
us fairly predictable results and except for the i7 which only beats the much
cheaper quadcore ryzen chips rounding
our test out ASUS realbench shows us its
preference for clock speed for image editing thread count on encoding and a
combination of the two in heavy multitasking with our benches stacking
up accordingly but to put all of that
performance stuff in the appropriate perspective we need to look at pricing
at24 9 the 1600x seems to hit the sweet
spot with its 1800x like performance in
everything but our most multi-threaded
benchmarks the 1400x at 169 seems like a
really solid value too considering its
thread parody with our i7 and decent
scoring which lands it at the top of the pack for performance per dollar the
1200X rumored at 149 is uh well AMD's
marketing is all about thread count and with only four ryzen just isn't pulling
quite as much weight however at that price it's actually our second best
performer per dollar placing it in an excellent position for a budget CPU and
if you've watched our ryzen OC guide you're probably thinking that this one
is actually much closer to the ath XP 2500 plus than the
1700x and you wouldn't necessarily be wrong though something our 8 core
processor cannot simulate is how hot these chips will run or how well they'll
overclock so that all remains to be
seen so with all of that said then we have to stress again that this isn't an
exact measurement in particular our 1400x and 1200X scores are likely
suffering from the loss of PR ision boost but taken with a grain of salt
these results should paint a pretty clear and pretty exciting picture one
that we can't wait to verify against the real
deal Zotac magnus1 series is one of the
smallest VR ready gaming PCs available
measuring at just 8.27 by7 by 2.45 in
it's quiet while operating and it's light we at less than 8 lb making it
genuinely portable you can even get it with an NVIDIA GTX
1070 to go along with its skylet Core i5
6400t its dual HDMI 2.0 ports and its
compatibility for high-speed NVMe ssds
