Ryzen 5 5600X benchmarks appear, cruise past Intel's Core i5-10600K

[midian182]

What just happened? With the launch of AMD’s Ryzen 5000 processors just over two weeks away, anticipation is heating up for the next-gen CPUs. That excitement will be intensified following leaked benchmark results showing the Ryzen 5 5600X outperforming Intel’s Core i5-10600K.

Both chips feature a six-core/12-thread design, and while AMD’s offering has 32MB of L3 cache compared to the Intel chip’s 12MB, its 3.7 GHz base/4.6 GHz boost clocks can’t match the i5-10600K’s 4.1 GHz/4.8 GHz specs. Team blue’s processor also comes with a 125W TDP, whereas the Ryzen 5 5600X is rated at 65W.

As reported by TechPowerUp, the SiSoftware Sandra submission comes from prolific leaker @TUM_APISAK.

On paper, one would expect Intel’s product to be the better performer, but it seems the Zen 3 architecture has something to say about that assumption. The Ryzen 5 5600X scores 255.22 GOPS in the Processor Arithmetic test and 904.38 Mpix/s in the Processor Multi-Media test.

The Core i5-10600K, meanwhile, managed averages of 224.07 GOPS and 662.33 Mpix/s, respectively. That makes the Ryzen CPU 13.9 percent and 36.5 percent faster, respectively, than its rival.

The results also show the Ryzen 5 5600X performing 18.8 percent and 44.6 percent faster on average than its Ryzen 5 3600X predecessor. Kitguru has helpfully compiled a list of all the new Ryzen 5000 CPU scores and compared them to their Ryzen 3000-series equivalents.

AMD has long stood in the shadow of Intel’s chips when it comes to gaming performance, but team red promises things will be different with Zen 3. The company says its Ryzen 9 5900X beat Intel’s Core i9-10900K in all but one of the games it tested at 1080p/High Quality. With the Ryzen 5000 series launching on November 5, we’ll soon discover the accuracy of its claims.

Zen 3 pretty much has to have better IPC than Intel's 10th gen at this point. It's the only way AMD's performance claims in the recent reveal add up.

 

[R00sT3R]

Average 25% performance uplift for the 5950X over the 3950X...Impressive.

At this point, The people at Intel would probably sell their Grandmothers, in return for a similar generational uplift.

I think you overvalue how much Intel grandmothers are worth. Nothing will give them the necessary uplift, apart from a smaller bra.

It's really amazing how Intel lost its lead and keeps on falling further behind. Remember, these are gaming benchmark which is supposed to be strong point of Intel. They have already lost in productivity and power consumption.
They have far bigger budget, better facilities and experience and yet they are getting thoroughly trampled and it keeps getting worse.
At this point I would like to read an in depth article of how Intel managed to screw things up so badly.

 

[Lounds]

Lisa Su is a clever lady and brilliant CEO, congrats to her and the company she's brought up from the ashes.

Remember remember the 5th of November.

Looks impressive, but the price.... sigh...

Why would you expect bargain pricing from the leading product?

People really do expect AMD to give out better chips for celeron pricing for some reason.

If it was up to Intel, we'd be still using 2 cores 4 threads CPUs for the rest of our lives. They've stopped innovating, invested in marketing only and thus - lost the battle to AMD. But I think they'll come back with a punch (well, maybe... it'll take a few years, but a good competition benefits us all)

This is so true. While AMD has this coming out, Intel spent money on having Avengers on the boxes for the 10 series.......

 

[franticfrosty]

Almost seems like intels engineers & leadership has given up even attempting to improve or they're too blinded by their ego to see they are no longer top dog.

No way in hell can I see a respectable company continue to lose to a competitor without serious changes to improve and try to beat the competition that they trampled on so much. If I worked for intel I'd be depressed at the continuous losses to such a small company as AMD, Intel has the expertise, money, knowledge to destroy AMD when it comes to processing power but they just really arent even trying anymore.

 

[MaxSmarties]

Well at least in that specific benchmark the improvements are huge

Because that was what every AMD fanboy was telling us in the last 3 years...
Now almost $500 for an 8 cores are ok, right ?

More like "reasonable". The price is comparable to the competition, the performance is (slightly) better, so maybe not as much bang for buck, but still OK in my book. And if you take into consideration the useable HSP (for some AMD models), the (Intel) chipset limitations (RAM speeds in particular), and longevity of the (AMD) CPU sockets, it all adds up to a an attractive option, even with the elevated prices.

No, it is not the best for everyone, but sure as hell is a good option for a LOT of potential buyers out there.

Oh, I hadn't realized the poetry behind the launch date. Oh wow, we'll have some fireworks that day, apparently.

 

[kiwigraeme]

Unfortunately AMD got absolutely slaughtered in Battlefield 5.

As stated else where a 3600x and 3080 is enough for most people

well a 3600 and a 3060 is real good for most of us

Marketing is the only thing they are good at right now

Zen 3 pretty much has to have better IPC than Intel's 10th gen at this point. It's the only way AMD's performance claims in the recent reveal add up.

Zen 2 already does(at least in certain applications), it just lags behind in gaming because of the split L3 cache and higher core-to-core worst case latency.

Zen 2 had better IPC than Intel 10th gen... it just pad lower clocks. Zen 3 has even better IPC and clocks are much closer.

Most tests show it's a trade between them depending on application, Zen 2 does not have comprehensively better IPC. Techspot own tests against the 9th gen has shown that, as well as Legit Reviews and HotHardware tests against the 9th gen coming to the same conclusions.

Zen 3 should have entirely superior IPC virtually across the board as long as the uplift is at least 10 percent, if I need to clarify my comment.

It doesn't really need an in depth article to understand why they find themselves in the position that they are.

Two words, 'Arrogance' & 'Complacency' explain everything.

Overconfidence is a *****.

 

[arrowflash]

Guess I'm going to finally upgrade my aging i5 4690 to a Ryzen 7 5800X.

My last primary PC with an AMD processor was the Athlon XP 2600+. It'll feel good to finally return to the AMD side.
