Filtered the processors AMD Ryzen 5 1600X and AMD Ryzen 5 1300, the mid-range processors from AMD, which offer some very interesting data under the CPU-Z.
The new AMD Ryzen are just around the corner and little by little new data on these processors are leaking. The latest leak refers to the Ryzen 5 1600X processor, Ryzen's mid-range processor with XFR, which allows the frequency of this to go higher and higher, as long as the processor stays below a certain temperature and that also depends of the temperature dissipation power of our cooler. The latest leaks also reveal a quad-core processor.
AMD Ryzen 5 1600X
The Ryzen 5 1600X processor is a processor with six cores and twelve processing threads and not only that, it is the processor with the highest working frequencies of the Ryzen 5 family, this processor working at a base frequency of 3.3GHz and a frequency 3.7GHz Boost. This processor also has 16MB of L3 Cache memory and 3MB of L2 Cache memory. According to the capture of the CPU-Z, this processor would work at a Bus Speed of 100MHz and a multiplier of x34.5.
It stands out from this processor that it receives the code name of Summit Ridge, which is the official nomenclature of all processors based on the Zen architecture. Ryzen is simply the code name of the family of processors. This processor has a voltage of 0.374V under normal workloads. Zen architecture, like Skylake and Kaby Lake architecture, is based on a 14nm manufacturing process.
This processor has been tested with the benchmark function that incorporates the CPU-Z itself. This benchmark functionality has the function of evaluating the performance of the processor in a single core and with all active cores, something it does automatically. The Ryzen 5 1600X has achieved a score of 1888 with a single thread, while in multi-threaded tasks it has achieved 12544. Thanks to the task manager, we see that this processor has the Boost mode activated and that it registers a base frequency of 3.56GHz .
AMD Ryzen 5 1600X vs Intel i5 7600K
We also see a comparison with the i5 7600K processor, a seventh-generation processor from Intel, featuring four cores and four processing threads, from the Kaby Lake family and which has a 14nm manufacturing process. We see how this processor in a single thread has achieved 2130 points but in multi-thread it has achieved 8206 points.
Here we have a dilemma, since the Intel processor clearly outperforms the Ryzen 5 1600X in single-threaded performance, but it clearly loses out to the AMD processor. It's clear that the AMD processor has an advantage, having two more cores and three times as many processing threads. (We also recommend checking out our review of the i3 7350K and the article where we tested it with different graphics cards .)
AMD Ryzen 3 1300
The second processor that has been leaked is the Ryzen 5 1300, which has four cores and SMT enabled, therefore it is a four-core processor and eight processing threads. Its codename is ZD3201BBM4KF4_34 / 32_Y. It has 8MB of L3 Cache memory and 2MB of L2 Cache memory. The working frequencies of this processor are 3.2GHz and 3.4GHz.

It looks like if the Intel were at the same frequency as the AMD, they would be practically on par.
A fairer comparison (the frequency is still higher on the Intel) would be this:
i7 6800K @ 4.0GHz:

This underclocking Intel is absurd, it should be the opposite, putting the Ryzen at the height of the frequency of Intel processors. If AMD Ryzen's are that good and thermostable, they should easily handle a bit of overclocking. There is another common mistake, architectural designs of different processors are compared, because of this there are performance differences. If AMD doesn't catch up with Intel, with plenty of time to develop new, high-quality processors, AMD still has a problem. Note that AMD will once again compete on price, making its processors good in quality / price. Those who have budgets of € 500-750 will be lucky and will be able to mount more powerful equipment than if they opted for an Intel. Consider that there are hardly a couple of games that take advantage of more than four cores.
Don't you see that the 6800k is at 4GHz, the Intel is overclocked? What the friend is referring to is matching frequencies, that is, overclocking AMD Zen to match Intel frequencies, Ryzen pulverizes it.
It is not underclocking the Intel, it is comparing the numbers objectively, at equal frequencies. As far as I know, few Intel have more than six cores that exceed 4GHz
I read…
…without taking into account that Intel has twelve (12) times the budget of AMD, and the “plenty of time” refers to four years of development, the same amount of time it takes Intel to develop a new architecture
And since we are, if you want (surely you don't want to) we remember what Intel did in the days of the Pentium 4 and AMD Athlon, with that unfair competition trying to destroy the rival with less budget but that made them look ridiculous in performance
Humiliating, however you look at it. If you don't even get paid to do this, you are losing money
Will AMD radically change the entire CPU universe at a price and performance never seen before? Will this mark the end of Intel's sky-high prices? We'll know everything after February 29th.
ps: I would go at 4/8, the cpus looks good ...
Not as much as it may change and attract the attention of people Intel takes a tour where it is very good, let me explain, the support and reliability of Intel is one of its reasons for having such prices and the people who look for that are probably still there , although against the position of that argument I can also express that if the rumors and leaks are true, amd will take away a large part of users from Intel (those who are already a little more experienced and those who feel affected by their pockets, if other groups will also enter for other purposes (we can buy good machines for lower prices etc)
hopefully with time amd will show intel that it has to put the batteries in showing true scopes, do it and without increasing prices so much
It depends, with Intel you know that after Cannon lake the secure socket 1151 will no longer have support. With AM4 you know that it will be thrown for a while. I would go for Amd because of the fact that if I want to change the mic I don't have to change the plate. I tell you, those same who prefer intel are the same as when they see if Amd has more performance and everything will change
I don't know what you mean by
when in my previous job, in a computer company (the company was an Intel partner), the boss used an AMD Athlon as a battle laptop with twelve years of service
The AMD athlon was good on the desktop, but not so much on the laptop or on the x2 series
The 7600k has a factory overclock of the 6600k, that's why the Kaby Lakeo is hotter than the Skylake, but it's the same.
Starting from another point, the Core i5 7600k has 3.8 GHz and 4,2 turbo
the r5 1600x has 3,3ghz and 3,7 turbo
And the toothpaste that Intel uses as thermal paste, to prevent you from overclocking unlocked processors (surprise, they sell K processors for more!) to catch up with the next "generation" that enjoys a huge increase of 4% (or 0%, as happened with Kaby Lake) and so you are "forced" to renew
And what would the rival of an i5 6600k be? Although if for 250 euros they give something better, welcome
Well, there is still a lot to see, look at the r5 1500, 1500x. 1400 and 1400x
based on leaks and your budget the best options may be:
* r5 1400X (4 cores and 8 threads) taking into account that the x tells us that it probably comes without refrigeration and that it has autoOc depending on the circumstances (it is said to be priced at $ 199).
*R5 1500 (6 cores and 12 threads) will probably come with a heatsink and the Oc will be manual (it is said to be priced at $229)
There is something to clarify with those prices and that is that I personally think that we must add the corresponding rate to the inflation of each country, in my case Colombia is 19%)
1500x for 250 is a good option
If you shop by price, you get extra cores. If you compare by core, you save money
"Base frequency of 3.3GHz and a Boost frequency of 2.7GHz." No, it's not the other way around, right?
They are 3.7Ghz in Boost mode, when you are biting at 140 beats per minute, something can happen to you.
It does not specify how the r5 performs
1300 4/8
