AMD Ryzen 5 1600X, a very powerful processor that in Cinebench R15 manages to outperform the i7 6800K processor from the Broadwell-E family and the i5 7600K and i7 7700K from the Kaby Lake family.
After looking at single threaded performance, it remains to be seen how the AMD Ryzen 5 1600X performs at its best. This processor is from the special series of processors, which with its letter 'X' after the number, indicates that it has support for XFR technology, a technology that raises the frequency automatically and without us having to do anything in steps. of 100MHz until a limit, marked by the capacity of the heatsink, to dissipate the temperature generated in the processor.
We've seen some leaks from Chinese forums, but it's a good benchmark. We recall that this processor has six cores and twelve processing threads, a working frequency of 3.3GHz and a Boost frequency of 3.7GHz. The benchmark has been with the Cinebench R15 and the score is very interesting.
AMD Ryzen 5 1600X performance
The specialized medium wccftech has searched the database of Anandtech and it has updated the Cinebench R15 bar table and added the Ryzen 5 1600X processor, logically, in the position it plays according to the score obtained.
The table is fine, but there are no Skylake processors. We have chosen to find what is the performance of the i6 7600K processor in Cinebench R15 and we have gone to the specialized medium PCGamesN, a medium in the United Kingdom with a lot of international prestige. The i5 7600K running at 4.2GHz scores 658 points, almost half that of the Ryzen 5 1600X processor, even the i7 7700K running at 4.5GHz is below, as it scores 973 points.
We do not have data on the i5 7600K, since we have not had the pleasure of having it in the office, but we do what happened here the i7 7700K processor, which with the standard frequency has given a score of 982 points and raising the frequency of the 5GHz processor, we have obtained a score of 1088 points, clearly below the AMD processor. Note that the differences in scores can be due to slight differences in the processors, the motherboard used or the RAM memory used, but the difference is minimal.

It's very interesting, the 6800k is not Haswell E but Broadwell EP, but they don't mention features, if it uses four channels, or what motherboard they use since according to what has been leaked we'll have to wait for when they come out and I don't think they'll come at the prices they say with that performance.
I think the same, with that performance I doubt enough that they have those prices (I hope I'm wrong). Still, the best way to compete against Intel would be to offer cheap prices with similar returns, otherwise Intel's monopoly will continue.
AMD has returned from the ashes, it will be a very interesting new era.
This time yes, I congratulate you for objectivity. Maybe it was a bit harsh in previous comments. A subsection, where do you say
XFR works in ranges of 25MHz, and what is more important, it applies it (laughs) independently to each core as needed (it has nothing to do with Intel's EIST)
At that price, I will definitely buy it ...
Well… Time to go, Intel… At least you never let me down so far 😉
