WEBVTT 00:00:00.599 --> 00:00:10.599 ryen 5 many of you have been waiting patiently or impatiently for its big 00:00:06.279 --> 00:00:12.440 debut something which we stop what stop 00:00:10.599 --> 00:00:17.560 you're going to get wrecked look at these 00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:21.119 comments what is this who are you H I'm 00:00:17.560 --> 00:00:23.240 I'm you from the future if you release 00:00:21.119 --> 00:00:28.480 this simulation of AMD rise and performance everybody's going to hate 00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:32.520 you simulation what simulation I've Got ryzen 5 right here no oh you don't 00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:39.719 understand I just wait this is the 00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:42.360 review Great Scott I've got to go I set 00:00:39.719 --> 00:00:42.360 the dial 00:00:48.600 --> 00:01:03.120 wrong welcome then to our ryzen 5 review 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 00:01:07.520 --> 00:01:15.600 at the link in the video description as we've mentioned before 00:01:12.360 --> 00:01:19.640 AMD is aggressively targeting Intel in 00:01:15.600 --> 00:01:22.360 terms of core count and pricing packing 00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:28.759 Enthusiast features into their CPUs in order to undercut Intel's Core i5 and 00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:35.560 core i7 with their appropriately named ryzen 5 and ryzen 7 CPUs whether they 00:01:33.479 --> 00:01:40.040 succeeded or not we'll address a little bit later because first we need some 00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:48.360 boring technical details both ryzen 7 and ryzen 5 which 00:01:44.479 --> 00:01:52.119 launches today come with two of what AMD 00:01:48.360 --> 00:01:55.399 calls CPU complex or 00:01:52.119 --> 00:01:58.960 CCX which is four processing cores 00:01:55.399 --> 00:02:02.439 attached to 8 Megs of high-speed cache 00:01:58.960 --> 00:02:06.759 these CC X units communicate with each 00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:10.599 other over an allnew bus that AMD calls 00:02:06.759 --> 00:02:14.840 Infinity fabric the difference between 00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:19.000 them is that ryzen 5 comes with two or 00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:22.879 four individual cores disabled through a 00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:26.160 process called binning whereby faulty or 00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:29.640 underperforming cores are shut off then 00:02:26.160 --> 00:02:33.800 the chip is sold at a lower price so if 00:02:29.640 --> 00:02:38.400 we line up our ryzen 5 and ryzen 7 CPUs 00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:42.560 we can see that our 1600x is basically a 00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:46.239 cut down 1800x while our 1500x is 00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:50.080 probably a cut down 1700 with tweaked 00:02:46.239 --> 00:02:52.159 clock speeds what's unusual about AMD's 00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:58.800 approach here though is that they've disabled the cores symmetrically to make 00:02:55.360 --> 00:03:02.280 hex core and quad core models the 00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:05.319 disadvantage is that the quad core model 00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:08.360 may suffer some performance penalty for 00:03:05.319 --> 00:03:12.080 not having all of its cores on the same 00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:18.040 CCX but the advantage is that every 00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:21.200 ryzen 5 gets a massive 16 megabytes of 00:03:18.040 --> 00:03:25.280 cash and all the other features are 00:03:21.200 --> 00:03:28.280 there too Precision boost xfr 00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:30.360 simultaneous multi-threading neuronet 00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:35.599 inspired Branch prediction so when you start to think about it then 00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:38.599 how many cores do you really need and if 00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:41.760 the answer is any fewer than eight then 00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:45.159 ryzen 5 starts to sound like a really 00:03:41.760 --> 00:03:49.239 good way to save a few bucks let's talk 00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:52.159 about the test AMD included an MSI b350 00:03:49.239 --> 00:03:58.040 Tomahawk motherboard in our testing kit but we used our Crosshair 6 hero instead 00:03:55.159 --> 00:04:05.360 for the sake of consistency and on that subject we actually re tested all of our 00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:09.680 AMD chips with the latest BIOS revision 00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:11.840 and a new kit of g-skill flarex RAM 00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:17.280 which means that we are finally able to give you guys results at ddr4 3200 00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:23.759 speeds woo this along with the rest of our test 00:04:20.359 --> 00:04:26.919 stable should give us a great picture of 00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:29.960 how ryzen 5 Stacks up for extra credit 00:04:26.919 --> 00:04:32.360 we also tested our ryzen 5ivs with a 4 00:04:29.960 --> 00:04:37.840 GHz overclock the best that we could achieve on both of the chips with air 00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:44.560 cooling oh and uh by the way our simulated 1600x we threw that in there 00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:46.639 too let's kick things off with gaming 00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:51.360 thanks to their native overclocking support both of our ryzen 5 chips 00:04:49.520 --> 00:04:56.000 managed to pull off some impressive numbers next to their team blue 00:04:53.520 --> 00:05:02.000 competitors although it is worth noting that the 00:04:57.199 --> 00:05:05.600 7600k can overclock two games like rise 00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:08.080 of the Tomb Raider and doom in open mode 00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:13.880 tend to devour instructions per clock giving our Intel benches a lead unless 00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:16.560 we overclock on ryzen which sometimes 00:05:13.880 --> 00:05:23.880 actually accounts for some major gains in performance here now that's weird 00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:26.360 what gives with Team blue your cash is 00:05:23.880 --> 00:05:34.000 generally going to remain at the same speed unless you overclock it separately 00:05:29.840 --> 00:05:38.160 but as it turns out ryzen's cash just 00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:40.560 loves getting as much CPU time as it can 00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:46.600 which favors their Infinity fabric connected CCX architecture along with 00:05:43.479 --> 00:05:50.240 their High Core counts so with many 00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:53.080 cores and higher clock speeds AMD's cash 00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:58.520 actually becomes more efficient how do we know because when we compared cash 00:05:56.039 --> 00:06:03.400 benchmarks between our stock and overclocked chips we found major 00:06:00.919 --> 00:06:09.280 improvements thanks to our overclocks that look in line with the differences 00:06:05.919 --> 00:06:10.840 between the two chips core counts I mean 00:06:09.280 --> 00:06:18.199 overclocking our 7700k we saw performance fluctuate a bit 00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:20.440 but nowhere near this much so this seems 00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:25.199 to explain some of what we're seeing here in these gaming 00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:31.160 tests good news for AMD fans looking to overclock then because overclocking adds 00:06:27.880 --> 00:06:33.919 to multiple perform performance metrics 00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:38.840 speaking of which in our synthetic tests we can see that ryzen continues to 00:06:36.280 --> 00:06:42.880 dominate Intel's mainstream platforms when it comes to multi-threaded 00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:49.440 Performance what's even more interesting about these results however is that the 00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:51.880 ryzen7 1700 frequently ends up matched 00:06:49.440 --> 00:06:56.199 by our overclocked 1600x which becomes all the more 00:06:54.160 --> 00:07:01.639 impressive when you consider the performance per dollar that this 00:06:58.520 --> 00:07:04.360 translates to thanks to the $80 price 00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:10.599 difference between the two chips speaking of performance per dollar team 00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:14.560 red and team blue are neck and neck in 00:07:10.599 --> 00:07:15.960 this all important metric a small as 00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:21.319 side here by the way if you've been paying attention our simulated ryzen 00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:23.919 5600 x has also kept up very well with 00:07:21.319 --> 00:07:29.120 our real 1600x finally let's talk about thermals 00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:33.720 something we weren't able to simulate now that we're equipped with AMD's 00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:36.080 wraith Max and wraith Spire coolers we 00:07:33.720 --> 00:07:41.440 can test our ryzen 5 chips with both stock and aftermarket cooling so for 00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:48.240 Giggles we threw our spire on our overclocked 1600x and managed to 00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:50.400 maintain our performance at reasonable 00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:56.080 if unexceptional temperatures so aftermarket cooling is still recommended 00:07:52.800 --> 00:07:59.159 for overclocking even on ryzen's four 00:07:56.080 --> 00:08:02.319 and six core variants which leads us to 00:07:59.159 --> 00:08:05.400 our conclusion then since its launch 00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:09.000 AMD's new platform has been changing 00:08:05.400 --> 00:08:12.120 almost daily we're constantly learning 00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:16.080 new things about how it does perform how 00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:19.080 it's supposed to perform and why and 00:08:16.080 --> 00:08:22.120 with ryzen 5 AMD's future becomes much 00:08:19.080 --> 00:08:25.440 clearer thanks to software and firmware 00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:28.400 updates that continue to improve ryzen's 00:08:25.440 --> 00:08:33.479 performance and stability with these numbers and pricing Intel may be 00:08:31.280 --> 00:08:39.240 starting to sweat a little bit remember too that we used an x370 board but you 00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:45.279 could save a fair bit on the platform overall by stepping down to b350 if you 00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:50.080 don't need SLI or even lower if you don't plan to 00:08:46.880 --> 00:08:53.279 overclock now to be clear ryzen doesn't 00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:56.120 overclock like crazy the platform bugs 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 00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:09.000 performance King that a lot of people wanted it to be but what they have done 00:09:06.839 --> 00:09:15.760 when you factor in the entire Suite of tests is deliver just as much bang for 00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:18.760 the buck as team blue right now and that 00:09:15.760 --> 00:09:22.360 is a very good 00:09:18.760 --> 00:09:24.720 thing do you have two computers do you 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 00:09:26.839 --> 00:09:32.600 four menion two computers well that dumb 00:09:29.959 --> 00:09:39.760 because Synergy exists and it allows you to share one Mouse and one keyboard 00:09:35.560 --> 00:09:42.959 seamlessly between two or more computers 00:09:39.760 --> 00:09:45.640 so you'll no longer confuse which one is 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 00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:55.120 pro version with a one-time payment for Lifetime access and the features include 00:09:52.880 --> 00:09:59.600 clipboard sharing between the computers dragging and dropping files between the 00:09:56.959 --> 00:10:04.680 computers the ability to set up hot keys and more it even works on Windows
