AMD Ryzen 5 1600X Processor Review

CPU by stefan @ 2017-04-11

For the mainstream Ryzen 5 series, AMD has prepared for its customers not one but two hexa-core SKUs: the Ryzen 5 1600X but also the Ryzen 5 1600. Ryzen 5 1600X does have the same operating frequencies as the flagship Ryzen 7 1800X model, which means a 3.6GHz stock speed, 3.7GHz all-core boost, 4GHz 2-core boost and also 4.1GHz max boost with XFR. The Ryzen 5 1600X does also have the same 16MB of L3 cache, 512K L2 cache per core, 95W TDP and comes in a 3 + 3 CCX configuration.

Core i5 7600K VS Ryzen 5 1600X Test Results Part II

In CineBench R11.5, we can spot a clear performance difference between the octa-core and six-core, while the i5 7600K is left far behind.

CineBench R15 performance figures are pretty much the same.

In Blender render benchmark, we can see the Ryzen 5 1600X getting pretty close to the Ryzen 7 1700, but when overclocked we could not see a very big performance improvement for the hexa-core SKU.

PcMark Vantage does show the Ryzen 5 1600X right under the Ryzen 7 1700 (due to lower clocks of the octa-core SKU).

PCMark 7 is another benchmark where the AMD hexa-core wipes the floor with Intel’s mainstream i5 7600K, even when the CPU is overclocked at 4.8GHz.

In PCMark 8, we can see the Ryzen 5 1600X trading punches with its octa-core counterparts; in this particular benchmark, the Intel Core i5 7600K overclocked at 4.8GHz is very competitive.
