AMD Ryzen 5 7600X with B650 Chipset Performance Test: The Economical Choice of the New Generation | Tikebang

The Ryzen 5 7600X paired with the B650 chipset is currently the most affordable entry-level option for AMD’s Zen 4 generation. Let’s see how this combination performs.

Zen 4 entry fighter test

For instructions on Zen 4 architecture Ryzen 7000 series processors, please refer to the author’s previousFeature Article(More information is listed in the series of articles at the end of the article), so I won’t go into details here.

The motherboard processor used by the author this time is the Ryzen 5 7600X with 6 cores and 12 threads. Compared with the other 3 first Ryzen 7000 series processors, in addition to the smaller number of physical cores, the maximum Boost clock and cache Memory capacity is also relatively low, so you can expect performance to lag on either single-core or multi-core.

The motherboard used this time is MSI MAG B650M MORTAR WIFI with G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo memory (automatically overclocked to DDR5-6000 using EXPO). Turn on the Resizable BAR function of the graphics card during the test. All results are tested in 2 rounds. After confirming that there are no extreme values, the average is taken. The game performance uses the built-in test mode of the game, and is matched with 1080p, 2K, and 4K resolutions. The highest image quality setting. If there is a setting template, the highest template will be applied. If not, all image quality related items will be adjusted to the highest, and VRS or dynamic resolution settings will be turned off, and only the adjustment of the ray tracing function on and off is performed. As for the results of the control group, the results were taken from the previous articles written by the author.

▲ The protagonist of this test is the entry-level Ryzen 7000 series processor: the Ryzen 5 7600X.

▲ The matching motherboard is the MAG B650M MORTAR WIFI equipped with the B650 chipset.

▲ The motherboard is a Macro ATX size, providing 2 M.2 slots that only support PCIe Gen 4×4, and the graphics card slot only supports PCIe Gen 4×16 transmission mode.

▲ The VMR area is also loaded with large heat sinks to help cool down and improve stability.

▲ MAG B650M MORTAR WIFI also provides 6 sets of SATA terminals, with good expandability.

▲ The I/O backplane has a 2.5GbE Ethernet network, as well as 7 sets of USB Type-A and 1 set of USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-C with a transfer speed of 20Gbps.

▲ This test combination is AMD Ryzen 5 7600X processor with MAG B650M MORTAR WIFI motherboard.

▲ The memory is G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo 16GBx2, and it is automatically overclocked to DDR5-6000 through EXPO.

▲ The graphics card is an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Founder Edition.

Processor and Comprehensive Performance Testing

We also first test the test items that are closely related to processor performance. It should be reminded that the performance of the competitor’s 13th-generation Core i processor will not be disclosed until October 20, 2022, so this article is still compared with the Core i5-12600K, and the performance of the Core i5-13600K will be in the future. break down.

The testbench marks in the data graph are as follows:
5800X: Ryzen 7 5800X, X570 chipset, DDR4-4000
5800X3D: Ryzen 7 5800X3D, X570 chipset, DDR4-4000
7600X: Ryzen 5 7600X, B650 chipset, DDR5-6000
7700X: Ryzen 7 7700X, X670E chipset, DDR5-6000
12600K: Core i5-12600K, Z690 chipset, DDR5-4800

▲ In the comprehensive performance test item PCMark10 Extendend, the total score of Ryzen 5 7600X is only regarding 2.94% behind Ryzen 7 7700X, and the gap is not big. As for the rival Core i5-12600K, it is 9.85% ahead.

▲ In CrossMark, which is also a comprehensive performance test, the performance of the Ryzen 5 7600X is close to that of the Core i5-12600K, only leading by 1.12%.

▲ In the Cinebench R20 processor rendering test, the single-core performance of the Ryzen 5 7600X is slightly higher than the Core i5-12600K, but the multi-core performance of 6 cores and 12 threads is still not as good as the performance of the opponent’s 6+4 cores and 12+4 threads.

▲ In the Cinebench R23 processor rendering test, the Ryzen 5 7600X also shows that the single-core performance leads the Core i5-12600K by regarding 1.02%, but the multi-core performance lags behind the trend of 13.36%.

▲ The POV-Ray ray tracing rendering test is won by the first-order Ryzen 7 7700X in both single and multi-core performance, but it is worth noting that the Ryzen 5 7600X can also beat the previous generation Ryzen 7 5800X and Ryzen 7 5800X3D.

▲ In the 264 Benchmark and x265 Benchmark software encoding video conversion tests, the performances of the Ryzen 5 7600X and the Core i5-12600K are quite close, and the winner is of course the 8-core 16-thread Ryzen 7 7700X.

▲ 3DMark CPU Profile processor multitasking test can see the performance of the same processor under different loads. In 1~8 thread projects, Ryzen 5 7600X and Core i5-12600K maintained close performance, but the lag gap was widened to 10.23% in 16 thread and Max thread projects.

▲ During the AIDA64 burn-in test, the Ryzen 5 7600X did not encounter the 95-degree TJMax safe temperature set by AMD.

▲ During the burn-in test, the maximum power consumption of the Ryzen 5 7600X has not exceeded the TDP of 105W.
