00:00:00,599 --> 00:00:10,599
ryen 5 many of you have been waiting patiently or impatiently for its big

2
00:00:06,279 --> 00:00:12,440
debut something which we stop what stop

3
00:00:10,599 --> 00:00:17,560
you're going to get wrecked look at these

4
00:00:13,599 --> 00:00:21,119
comments what is this who are you H I'm

5
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:23,240
I'm you from the future if you release

6
00:00:21,119 --> 00:00:28,480
this simulation of AMD rise and performance everybody's going to hate

7
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:32,520
you simulation what simulation I've Got ryzen 5 right here no oh you don't

8
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:39,719
understand I just wait this is the

9
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:42,360
review Great Scott I've got to go I set

10
00:00:39,719 --> 00:00:42,360
the dial

11
00:00:48,600 --> 00:01:03,120
wrong welcome then to our ryzen 5 review

12
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:09,680
we're opening up a new merch store you can check out some of our new gear today

13
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:15,600
at the link in the video description as we've mentioned before

14
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:19,640
AMD is aggressively targeting Intel in

15
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:22,360
terms of core count and pricing packing

16
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:28,759
Enthusiast features into their CPUs in order to undercut Intel's Core i5 and

17
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:35,560
core i7 with their appropriately named ryzen 5 and ryzen 7 CPUs whether they

18
00:01:33,479 --> 00:01:40,040
succeeded or not we'll address a little bit later because first we need some

19
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:48,360
boring technical details both ryzen 7 and ryzen 5 which

20
00:01:44,479 --> 00:01:52,119
launches today come with two of what AMD

21
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:55,399
calls CPU complex or

22
00:01:52,119 --> 00:01:58,960
CCX which is four processing cores

23
00:01:55,399 --> 00:02:02,439
attached to 8 Megs of high-speed cache

24
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:06,759
these CC X units communicate with each

25
00:02:02,439 --> 00:02:10,599
other over an allnew bus that AMD calls

26
00:02:06,759 --> 00:02:14,840
Infinity fabric the difference between

27
00:02:10,599 --> 00:02:19,000
them is that ryzen 5 comes with two or

28
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:22,879
four individual cores disabled through a

29
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:26,160
process called binning whereby faulty or

30
00:02:22,879 --> 00:02:29,640
underperforming cores are shut off then

31
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:33,800
the chip is sold at a lower price so if

32
00:02:29,640 --> 00:02:38,400
we line up our ryzen 5 and ryzen 7 CPUs

33
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:42,560
we can see that our 1600x is basically a

34
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:46,239
cut down 1800x while our 1500x is

35
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:50,080
probably a cut down 1700 with tweaked

36
00:02:46,239 --> 00:02:52,159
clock speeds what's unusual about AMD's

37
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:58,800
approach here though is that they've disabled the cores symmetrically to make

38
00:02:55,360 --> 00:03:02,280
hex core and quad core models the

39
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:05,319
disadvantage is that the quad core model

40
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:08,360
may suffer some performance penalty for

41
00:03:05,319 --> 00:03:12,080
not having all of its cores on the same

42
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:18,040
CCX but the advantage is that every

43
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:21,200
ryzen 5 gets a massive 16 megabytes of

44
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:25,280
cash and all the other features are

45
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:28,280
there too Precision boost xfr

46
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:30,360
simultaneous multi-threading neuronet

47
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:35,599
inspired Branch prediction so when you start to think about it then

48
00:03:32,599 --> 00:03:38,599
how many cores do you really need and if

49
00:03:35,599 --> 00:03:41,760
the answer is any fewer than eight then

50
00:03:38,599 --> 00:03:45,159
ryzen 5 starts to sound like a really

51
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:49,239
good way to save a few bucks let's talk

52
00:03:45,159 --> 00:03:52,159
about the test AMD included an MSI b350

53
00:03:49,239 --> 00:03:58,040
Tomahawk motherboard in our testing kit but we used our Crosshair 6 hero instead

54
00:03:55,159 --> 00:04:05,360
for the sake of consistency and on that subject we actually re tested all of our

55
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:09,680
AMD chips with the latest BIOS revision

56
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:11,840
and a new kit of g-skill flarex RAM

57
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:17,280
which means that we are finally able to give you guys results at ddr4 3200

58
00:04:15,639 --> 00:04:23,759
speeds woo this along with the rest of our test

59
00:04:20,359 --> 00:04:26,919
stable should give us a great picture of

60
00:04:23,759 --> 00:04:29,960
how ryzen 5 Stacks up for extra credit

61
00:04:26,919 --> 00:04:32,360
we also tested our ryzen 5ivs with a 4

62
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:37,840
GHz overclock the best that we could achieve on both of the chips with air

63
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:44,560
cooling oh and uh by the way our simulated 1600x we threw that in there

64
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:46,639
too let's kick things off with gaming

65
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:51,360
thanks to their native overclocking support both of our ryzen 5 chips

66
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:56,000
managed to pull off some impressive numbers next to their team blue

67
00:04:53,520 --> 00:05:02,000
competitors although it is worth noting that the

68
00:04:57,199 --> 00:05:05,600
7600k can overclock two games like rise

69
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:08,080
of the Tomb Raider and doom in open mode

70
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:13,880
tend to devour instructions per clock giving our Intel benches a lead unless

71
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:16,560
we overclock on ryzen which sometimes

72
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:23,880
actually accounts for some major gains in performance here now that's weird

73
00:05:19,639 --> 00:05:26,360
what gives with Team blue your cash is

74
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:34,000
generally going to remain at the same speed unless you overclock it separately

75
00:05:29,840 --> 00:05:38,160
but as it turns out ryzen's cash just

76
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:40,560
loves getting as much CPU time as it can

77
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:46,600
which favors their Infinity fabric connected CCX architecture along with

78
00:05:43,479 --> 00:05:50,240
their High Core counts so with many

79
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:53,080
cores and higher clock speeds AMD's cash

80
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:58,520
actually becomes more efficient how do we know because when we compared cash

81
00:05:56,039 --> 00:06:03,400
benchmarks between our stock and overclocked chips we found major

82
00:06:00,919 --> 00:06:09,280
improvements thanks to our overclocks that look in line with the differences

83
00:06:05,919 --> 00:06:10,840
between the two chips core counts I mean

84
00:06:09,280 --> 00:06:18,199
overclocking our 7700k we saw performance fluctuate a bit

85
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:20,440
but nowhere near this much so this seems

86
00:06:18,199 --> 00:06:25,199
to explain some of what we're seeing here in these gaming

87
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:31,160
tests good news for AMD fans looking to overclock then because overclocking adds

88
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:33,919
to multiple perform performance metrics

89
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:38,840
speaking of which in our synthetic tests we can see that ryzen continues to

90
00:06:36,280 --> 00:06:42,880
dominate Intel's mainstream platforms when it comes to multi-threaded

91
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:49,440
Performance what's even more interesting about these results however is that the

92
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:51,880
ryzen7 1700 frequently ends up matched

93
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:56,199
by our overclocked 1600x which becomes all the more

94
00:06:54,160 --> 00:07:01,639
impressive when you consider the performance per dollar that this

95
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:04,360
translates to thanks to the $80 price

96
00:07:01,639 --> 00:07:10,599
difference between the two chips speaking of performance per dollar team

97
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:14,560
red and team blue are neck and neck in

98
00:07:10,599 --> 00:07:15,960
this all important metric a small as

99
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:21,319
side here by the way if you've been paying attention our simulated ryzen

100
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:23,919
5600 x has also kept up very well with

101
00:07:21,319 --> 00:07:29,120
our real 1600x finally let's talk about thermals

102
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:33,720
something we weren't able to simulate now that we're equipped with AMD's

103
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:36,080
wraith Max and wraith Spire coolers we

104
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:41,440
can test our ryzen 5 chips with both stock and aftermarket cooling so for

105
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:48,240
Giggles we threw our spire on our overclocked 1600x and managed to

106
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:50,400
maintain our performance at reasonable

107
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:56,080
if unexceptional temperatures so aftermarket cooling is still recommended

108
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:59,159
for overclocking even on ryzen's four

109
00:07:56,080 --> 00:08:02,319
and six core variants which leads us to

110
00:07:59,159 --> 00:08:05,400
our conclusion then since its launch

111
00:08:02,319 --> 00:08:09,000
AMD's new platform has been changing

112
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:12,120
almost daily we're constantly learning

113
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:16,080
new things about how it does perform how

114
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:19,080
it's supposed to perform and why and

115
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:22,120
with ryzen 5 AMD's future becomes much

116
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:25,440
clearer thanks to software and firmware

117
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:28,400
updates that continue to improve ryzen's

118
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:33,479
performance and stability with these numbers and pricing Intel may be

119
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:39,240
starting to sweat a little bit remember too that we used an x370 board but you

120
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:45,279
could save a fair bit on the platform overall by stepping down to b350 if you

121
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:50,080
don't need SLI or even lower if you don't plan to

122
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:53,279
overclock now to be clear ryzen doesn't

123
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:56,120
overclock like crazy the platform bugs

124
00:08:53,279 --> 00:09:03,079
aren't quite fully ironed out and it still isn't the clear of Far and Away

125
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:09,000
performance King that a lot of people wanted it to be but what they have done

126
00:09:06,839 --> 00:09:15,760
when you factor in the entire Suite of tests is deliver just as much bang for

127
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:18,760
the buck as team blue right now and that

128
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:22,360
is a very good

129
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:24,720
thing do you have two computers do you

130
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:29,959
have two keyboards and two mice all over your desk so that you can actually use a

131
00:09:26,839 --> 00:09:32,600
four menion two computers well that dumb

132
00:09:29,959 --> 00:09:39,760
because Synergy exists and it allows you to share one Mouse and one keyboard

133
00:09:35,560 --> 00:09:42,959
seamlessly between two or more computers

134
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:45,640
so you'll no longer confuse which one is

135
00:09:42,959 --> 00:09:50,839
for which and which one goes with what one it's awesome they've got a basic and

136
00:09:48,279 --> 00:09:55,120
pro version with a one-time payment for Lifetime access and the features include

137
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:59,600
clipboard sharing between the computers dragging and dropping files between the

138
00:09:56,959 --> 00:10:04,680
computers the ability to set up hot keys and more it even works on Windows Mac

139
