AMD Ryzen

[.Apex.]

According to Cinebench Ryzen and Broadwell-E are clock for clock the same, both the R7-1700 and i7-6900k boost to 3.7Ghz at stock speeds on single core and both of them got the same results in single core performance in Cinebench (the tiny difference is probably from memory speeds).

 

R7-1700 Stock = 145 Single Core Cinebench

i7-6900k Stock = 149 Single Core Cinebench

 

R7-1700 4Ghz OC = 162 Single Core Cinebench

 

(focus more on the stock speeds for the 6900k because thats mainly my comparison)

 

but if you look at the gaming benchmarks

GTA V:

Stock 6900k = 141.7 FPS

Stock 7700k = 148.7 FPS

OC 6900k = 149.3 FPS

OC Ryzen = 129 FPS

 

Watch Dogs 2:

Stock 6900k = 119 FPS

Stock 7700k = 112.7 FPS

OC Ryzen = 86 FPS

 

Battlefield 1:

Stock 6900k = 141.7 FPS

Stock 7700k = 141 FPS

OC Ryzen = 135 FPS

 

the Stock 6900k is either beating the 7700k or lower but not by alot.. its very acceptable

 

ofc some games do really prefer single core performance more.. and the difference will be bigger, but remember.. the stock 6900k when gaming runs at 3.5Ghz (3.7Ghz only boosts when using 1 core).. so when benchmarking Cinebench Single core it boosts to 3.7Ghz and we get 149..but when gaming it only boosts to 3.5 Ghz 

 

what i want to say is.. an OC'd 4 Ghz Ryzen which scores 162 in single core.. performs waaaaaaaaayy lower than the 6900k at stock speeds (which has shitty single core performance at 3.5Ghz)?

 

I think Ryzen has lots of potential to be close to the 7700k or even beating it .. the only problem i think is optimization for this completely new architecture.. might be a windows update.. or might be games that will get updates to support Ryzen

 

( and for people who dont know.. when you OC .. the clock speed stays the same no matter what you do..)

And what's your point here? Almost all youtube tech reviewers report the exact same thing.

Amd cpus ipc isn't enough to beat Intel even with ryzen.

The benchmarks you mention are very straightforward: they use a particular capability of the CPU intensively, and relative results align almost perfectly with the relative capabilities of the CPUs involved.

Gaming is a different story: a million factors come into play, including the games themselves, since each of them is coded in a different way and uses different instructions and more generally require different combinations of the different types of works a CPU can do. That's why you won't even find consistent results across games.
