Author: Michal Mikle

The Ryzen 5 Series brings some very interesting models of processors in quad-core and six-core versions. While Ryzen 5 1400 and Ryzen 5 1500X offer four cores with eight threads, Ryzen 5 1600 and 1600X have six cores and twelve working threads in total. Comparing them to their competitors is difficult since Intel Core i5, which offers four cores with the same number of working threads, but has a higher IPC performance (number of instructions per cycle) and a better IMC (integrated memory controller), is in the same price range. In this review, we will focus on comparing two AMD Ryzen 5 models and two Intel Core i5 models at the so-called defaults (basic settings) and clock to clock (with the same core and cache clock), while looking at overclocking tests as AMD's new processors are unlocked and can be overclocked.

AMD Ryzen 5 - how does it work?

Test builds

At first glance, the choices for comparison may look a bit chaotic. The AMD Ryzen 5 processor has double the working threads. The higher Intel models do not feature in our comparison. AMD Ryzen 5, unlike the Core i5, does not offer an integrated graphics chip, so you'll need to buy a dedicated graphics card. And last but not least, there is a unit of performance of the architecture called IPC (the number of processed instructions per cycle). In this case, we have no choice but to focus on the price and find out what you can get for your money.

Which applications are used to test AMD Ryzen 5?

AMD Ryzen 5 Processors vs. Intel Kaby Lake Processors - 2D Tests

Processors Ryzen 5 vs. Core i5 in the Octane 2.0 test

Octane 2.0 consists of 17 tests based on JavaScript and the benchmark tests the performance of the processor in a modern web environment. The overclocked AMD Ryzen 5 1600 at 3.9GHz with 2933MHz RAM and CL14 timing is almost equal to Core i5 7600 from Intel. Stronger processor versions are also measured, see graph.

Processors Ryzen 5 vs Core i5 in the JetStream test

The second JetStream test once again explores web performance in JavaScript-based tests. The benchmark is a combination of many smaller tests that simulate both the synthetic performance and the real environment that you normally encounter. The resulting score is the geometric mean of all subtests, and as you can see, AMD Ryzen 5 is again defeated by Intel's Core i5 7600 processor. The OC PRETESTED version of our i5 7600K then crushes everything ruthlessly.

Processors Ryzen 5 vs Core i5 in the Kraken test

And here is the third test done with Kraken, again based on JavaScript, which examines the speed of individual operations, and the result is once again a geometric mean. In this case, the fewer milliseconds show on the chart, the better, and the AMD Ryzen 5 1600 processor is the most successful one. The second place belongs to the overclocked AMD Ryzen 5 1400, both with cores at 3.9GHz and 2933MHz RAM. Here we can clearly see that for certain work tasks, more working threads bring more power. No further comment is needed for our i5 7600K in the OC PRETESTED version, you will not find a better single-thread performance.

Processors Ryzen 5 and Core i5 in the Cinebench R15 test

Cinebench R15 is a task that really works well with AMD Ryzen processors, especially when engaging more working threads. This is a test from the MAXON company that simulates the work performance in Cinema 4D when the processor is used to render a demanding graphics scene. R15 is, of course, something special and it works best with multiple threads and therefore, Ryzen 5 with its six cores is the unrivalled champion.

The second test compares the so-called single thread performance. Basically, it finds out what happens when we work with only one working thread. The i5 7600 from Intel is the best, mainly due to better IPC performance and higher operating frequency. But if we switch Cinebench R15 to the single-thread mode, the Kaby Lake i5 7600K crushes its competition and in our OC PRETESTED version, it even beats itself.

Processors Ryzen 5 vs. Core i5 in GeekBench 3

GeekBench 3 again tests real scenarios that you can encounter when working on your computer. The winner is clear here, four to eight working threads can simply pull their weight. The AMD Ryzen 5 1600 is the winner in this popular test, and it doesn't matter whether it's running on basic settings or it's overclocked. On the other hand, I managed to increase the performance by overclocking Ryzen 5 1600 by 16.63% and Ryzen 5 1400 by 22.81%. So much extra power? Who wouldn't want that...

As you can see, the tasks performed by this benchmark are best suited for the new AMD Ryzen 5 processors even when working with a single core. Obviously, the OC PRETESTED CPU is a safe bet for single-thread operations. Unbeatable and astonishing.

Procesors Ryzen 5 and Core i5 in the WinRAR test

A common task that we all encounter every day. Working with WinRAR. Here's a simple example - we have a lot of vacation photos, we want to reduce their volume and back them up to the cloud or a NAS file. Which one is faster, AMD's Ryzen 5, or Core i5 from Intel? The truth lies in the charts.

Processors Ryzen 5 vs. Core i5 in the HWBOT H265 test

HWBOT H.265 is a benchmark of Czech origin from the overclocker Havli's workshop. The test measures video encoding performance with the H.265 codec, which is slowly starting to be used, as videos under H.265 are far better compressed than those under H.264, and with the arrival of 4K videos, that are getting increasingly more popular, the use of H.265 is a must. As you can see, Intel processors are far more powerful here. The difference between a quad-core model with four threads and an overclocked six-core model with twelve threads is not that big. But even so, in this price range, Ryzen 5 1600 is an obvious choice.

Processors AMD Ryzen 5 vs. Core i5 in Time Spy Physics

Time Spy Physics is part of Futuremark's 3D benchmark, which specialises in DirectX 12. The Physics section uses only the processor for physics calculations, and as usual, the more working threads, the better. Physics calculations depend a lot on latency and RAM performance, so the Ryzen 1400 on basic settings with eight threads lags behind the Core i5 7600 with only four threads and the situation is proportional to the weaker Core i5 7400. AMD Ryzen 5 does not have a memory controller as good as Intel Core processors, and in many cases, it's very noticeable.

Processors Ryzen 5 vs Core i5 in the Ashes of Singularity: Escalation CPU

We are almost done with 2D tests and we are getting to the chapter about 3D (gaming) tests. Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation offers a separate CPU test that measures the so-called draw calls, which simply means how many objects the processor can bring to the scene. AotS: E received a patch a few days ago, adding optimisation for AMD Ryzen, resulting in an increase in performance of these new AMD's processors by about 30%.

iAre you interested in any of the AMD Ryzen 5 processors? If the review helped you with the selection, we have a tutorial on how to build a PC. It will help you with the installation, detailing what to pay attention to, and explaining how to place or replace a new processor on the motherboard.

How We Tested AMD Ryzen 5 in Games

In this chapter, we'll show you in detail the performance of the AMD Ryzen 5 and Intel's Core i5 processors in the gaming environment. You should remember that each game behaves differently, some games depend on the processor, some on the graphics card, and some even on RAM. And that's why I chose games where the CPU performance and behaviour can be measured. Furthermore, I chose the so-called CPU bound scenes, that is, those game segments where the processor plays a larger role than the graphics card.

What games have we tested?

Testing Methodology - How We Measure Performance in Games

To remain objective and keep accurate results, very specific measurement procedures must be followed. When comparing the performance of multiple processors in games, we need to set the conditions and environment for each platform so that it's fair. So whether we measure Ryzen 5 1400 or Ryzen 5 1600 or Core i5 7400 or Core i5 7600, we must have the same conditions in addition to the processor and motherboards as far as the hardware is concerned. So the same graphics card, the same SSD disk, the same power supply, preferably the same memory. As for the software, it's important to have the same operating system including updates, preferably having a vanilla OS installed on a disk format, the same version of the graphics card drivers, and the measuring in the game is important, among other things.

We measure games using the Fraps tool and log frame rates that record how long it took for a graphics card to draw one frame after another. With MSI Afterburner, we record several other values, such as graphics card usage, CPU usage, temperature, frequency, and more. Logs from both programs synchronise in the end and are ready for a snapshot analysis. The most important part of the whole process is the identical way of measuring right in the game. It is important to choose the right scene that will be consistent and which will repeatedly measure the same result. If we were to measure scenes with great variability, we would never get anything. For this reason, for example, it is not possible to measure in multiplayer. When we have the scene we are going to measure, we have to find out how long the scene takes to keep the same time. In most games, the scenes need to be repeated, because shaders are compiled during the first scene, textures are loaded, etc. For these reasons, we usually measure the second or third run-through.

We live in a somewhat paradoxical time, a time of change, as the graphics cards are getting so big that even the best processors are slowly failing to keep up with the powerful graphics cards in full HD resolution. But at the same time, the performance is not powerful enough for smooth UHD play with full details. It is true that the higher the resolution, the smaller the processor demands. In short, in the near future, with a powerful 4K video card, we will be able to get away with a cheap and less efficient processor. And since the CPU performance differences in the game environment at 3840 x 2160 are non-existent or very minimal, we will compare only 1920 x 1080 and 2560 x 1440, where the power of the processors can still be reflected.

AMD Ryzen 5 vs. Intel Kaby Lake - A detailed test in games

Processors Ryzen 5 vs. Core i5 in Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation

We begin where we've left off. Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation is probably the most demanding and modern game for the processors to handle. As mentioned earlier, the game got an optimisation patch for AMD's Ryzen a few days ago, so this performance comparison is the fairest out of all the tests, as the other games are still waiting for new patches and we cannot be sure when they will get them. In Full HD resolution, with a powerful graphics card, such as the GTX 1080, the demands on the processor are quite large and the graph shows clear results. Ryzen 5 1600 becomes the King of the price-performance ratio and the overclocking is definitely worth it. Again, we can see the clock power in the OC PRETESTED version with the i5 7600K clocked at 5.3GHz!

Despite the fact that the overclocked Ryzen 5 1600 at 3.9GHz wins the race against the other processors, there still isn't enough power for QHD resolution and the graphics card is not busy. The charts are clear.

Processors Ryzen 5 vs. Core i5 in Fallout 4

At a higher resolution, when the processor isn't under such a heavy load, the situation for the overclocked AMD Ryzen 5 1600 changes. But the situation is just as bad on basic settings. I will say it again, with Ryzen, you have to overclock, otherwise, you won't be very happy. Fallout 4 is my favourite example of IPC and high-frequency performance, no further comment is necessary.

Many people would expect the situation to stabilise at 2K resolution. Unfortunately, that is not the case and Fallout 4 benefits hugely from the OC PRETESTED variants of Intel Core i5 7600K.

Processors AMD Ryzen 5 vs. Core i5 in the game: Witcher 3

As you can see, Ryzen 5 1600 is doing pretty well in the popular Witcher 3. If you are a fan of this cult game, this CPU won't disappoint you. Comparing it to the OC PRETESTED i5 7600K is not really fair to the other models, but a win is still a win.

As expected, the performance of all the processors at a higher resolution of 2560 x 1440 is already stabilising. Taking the measurement errors into consideration, the results are very similar, only AMD Ryzen 5 1400 is slightly behind.

Processor Ryzen 5 vs. Core i5 in Crysis 3

In Crysis 3, I measured a different scene than when comparing graphics cards. This scene is considerably more demanding for the processor. The Cryengine on which the game is running is known for being timeless and the Ryzen 5 1600 processor is very successful here.

At a higher resolution, the game stops being so dependant on the processor and the results begin to match the performance of the graphics card. The Core i5 7400 comes out a bit weaker, mainly due to its low clock, but the AMD Ryzen 5 1600 is a clear winner.

Processors Ryzen 5 vs. Core i5 in the game: Tom Clancy's: The Division

The Division is not a game that depends too much on the processor, and at first glance the results look almost identical.

Maybe you already know that performance in games is not just about the maximum FPS, but what matters more is fluency. Both AMD Ryzen 5 processors have had fluency problems at certain times, even after overclocking. Abnormalities in the frame rates chart then appear as annoying jerky movements when playing. As a result, the Core i5 7400 and 7600 processors make for a smoother play.

The "gross" performance for 2560 x 1440 seems more or less the same, but how smooth is it?

On the frame rates chart, we can see that the AMD Ryzen 5 processors have a slightly lower frame rate than Core i5. In case of the game The Division, Intel's processors would be a better choice.

Processors Ryzen 5 vs. Core i5 in Battlefield 1

It should be noted that Battlefield 1 is currently a bit of a strange game. EA publishes different patches and the game does not work as well as in the beginning after the release. It's still a very popular title, so I've included it in the measurements. It is surprising how well Intel Core i5 7400 and 7600 are doing here.

The situation repeats itself at a higher resolution of 2560 x 1440. Battlefield 1 works better with Intel Core i5. Only time will show whether patch optimisation will help the AMD Ryzen 5 processors. Of course, the supreme power in the form of the higher clock and a stronger IPC of Core i5 7600K from Intel is obvious here.

The difference in the clock for Core i5 7600K is obvious even for the 2K resolutions. Battlefield 1 is not exactly a technological marvel, but if it's your cup of tea, the Kaby Lake i5 is the right choice.

Processors Ryzen 5 vs Core i5 in Rise of the Tomb Raider

Just like with Crysis 3, I chose a different scene for measuring processor performance in Rise of the Tomb Raider than what I use to measure video card performance. Geothermal Valley is the most CPU demanding area in the game. The graph is clear, but I must point out that the Ryzen 5 1400 processor was far from acheiving game fluency even after overclocking. Often you ask if overclocking is even worth it, and the graph gives you an unadulterated, clean, and true answer.

At a higher resolution, we get almost the same results. AMD Ryzen 5 1600 has enough power after overclocking, but Ryzen 5 1400 still lacks in power for QHD.

AMD Ryzen 5

Consumption

The total input power is measured at the power supply and the power of the whole build is measured.

Uninterrupted power consumption when the computer is idle and not working on any tasks.

And the total power in Prime95.

Temperatures

There's nothing to discuss here, but we'll show you the temperatures when the computer is idle. After overclocking, the temperature of AMD Ryzen 5 increases by just a few degrees.

And finally, the comparison of processors under a heavy load under Prime95. Noctua NHD-15 is a bit of an overkill, but it is quiet and has low temperatures. Of course, Intel Core i5 7600K had to go through the delidding process with Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut, the basic clock was measured in its original factory default state.

Conclusion of the test - AMD Ryzen 5 vs. Intel Kaby Lake

I would probably start the summary of today's review just like I did with AMD Ryzen 7. Although the results for Ryzen 5 1600 are not completely bad, objectively, the new AM4 platform needs to be given some time. Nearly nothing is optimised for how the new processors work. Both Intel Core and AMD Ryzen need their own code paths for all applications and games, to put it simply, both processors need different ways to work, and so far most of them are still overwhelmingly made for Intel. It will take some time for the BIOS for the motherboards to work out, let's be honest, the manufacturers of the AM4 motherboards are a bit behind, and AMD Ryzen is still in the development stage.

In terms of price-performance ratio, the AMD Ryzen 5 1600 is really an exciting choice, it brings a lot of power at a relatively low price, and it's not that bad in games either. Ryzen 5 1400 is a low-end model and also the cheapest in this range. It is lacking in many ways. The Intel Core i5 has a big advantage over the AMD Ryzen 5. You do not have to set anything up or do anything to tune the BIOS. It's the choice of least resistance; you plug it in and it works. Unfortunately, it isn't the same for Ryzen. If you want your build to work well, you'll have to tinker with RAM, or at least turn on a preset profile, meaning you will need to buy more expensive RAM than for Intel Core i5, which just needs a totally ordinary 2133MHz DDR4 kit. With AMD Ryzen 5, you'll need to get RAM that can handle at least 2666MHz, or ideally, a memory kit that will handle 2933MHz - 3200MHz with reasonable timing.

It's up to you, the user, to decide which way you want to go. Whether you like to tinker with hardware, or you prefer simplicity and guaranteed functionality that's already proven. The reality is, that the performance of the Ryzen 7 and 5 processors is changing for the better, like the weather, simply because with the upcoming optimisation and the arrival of new games and applications, we can expect a native and not secondary support of the AM4 platform. Another thing is, that we can expect improvement and higher clock in the future as the production is fine-tuned.

Finally, I will share one personal and somewhat negative issue that emerged during this review. At a glance, my work consists of measuring the game sections with Fraps and MSI Afterburner programs, which log all the important data such as CPU, GPU, framerates, frequencies, temperatures, and some other data in real time. With AMD Ryzen processors, the data in the Afterburner log were missing quite often and the log was not usable. No matter what I did, it kept getting very complicated, and I had to repeat some of the game sections five times. In my case, AMD Ryzen 5 had a similar problem, the occurence of which I was able to decrease but not eliminate after overclocking. The Intel Core i5 processors did not have a problem once.

My name is Michal Mikle, I'm an overclocker and I enjoy high performance. Whenever there is the option of squeezing one last drop of power from the hardware, I must find it. I love adrenaline and pushing the limits of the components and myself by myself. For this fun activity, I mainly use liquid nitrogen and compression methods, but I also like to experiment with water (sometimes supercooled) and I will not discard even quality air cooling.

What Have We Written About AMD Ryzen Processors Already?

AMD Ryzen 5 Processors (DETAILED INFORMATION)

Detailed tests of AMD Ryzen 7 processors are already finished. Now, the lower series of Ryzen processors is here - AMD Ryzen 5. Just like for AMD Ryzen 7, we already have detailed benchmarks and game tests for the Ryzen 5 processors. You can look forward to them over the next few days. But what do we know about the Ryzen 5 processors? In this article you will find complete specifications and paper comparisons with Intel Core i5 and i7 processors as well as information on compatible motherboards.

AMD Ryzen 5 processors will start selling on April 11th

AMD, after an unprecedented response to the new generation of CPUs, Ryzen has decided to speed up the introduction of cheaper models. Ryzen 5 will arrive in the first half of April and will target the largest group of gamers. We anticipate a brilliant future, in particular for the six-core variants with easy overclocking.

AMD Ryzen 5 Specifications

Don't worry about the CPU price yet. There's about a month until the release, so we have to wait for the exact price tag. Below you will find an approximate price tag.

Six-core and quad-core Ryzen R5 CPUs

Like the Ryzen 7 processors, all Ryzen 5 models will be equipped with Multi-Threading technology, supporting two processing threads per core. And it needs to be said that the processors will benefit tremendously from this option. The R7 series has proven that it can compete with the significantly more expensive Intel processors - you can read more about it in our review of the AMD Ryzen 7 1800X processor. We expect the same thing from the fifth series.

AMD Ryzen R5 1600X vs. Intel Core i5 7600K

The highest model of this series has a factory frequency set at a very nice value of 3.6 to 4GHz in Turbo mode. According to AMD, the Ryzen R5 1600X should outperform the competitive quad core Intel Core i5-7600K (3.8GHz) in selected tests by up to 69%. But we still have to wait to see the reality. In addition, Ryzen is supplied without cooling, so you have to make an additional investment.

The AMD Ryzen R5 1600 processor compared to Intel Core i5 7600

Again, this is a six-core variant with twelve threads. The operating frequencies are between 3.2-3.6GHz this time, putting AMD in direct oposition to the Core i5-7600. But it will offer the concentrated power of six cores, to which Intel currently has no answer. You will find a brand new Wraith Spire cooler in the package that has plenty of reserve and ensures excellent operating conditions.

Ryzen 5 1500X versus Intel Core i5 7500

A more cost-effective model than the Intel Core i5-7500, but this is not a surprise considering AMD's attitude. We'll see how it will do in the tests, but the CPUs are comparable on paper. Ryzen, however, adds increased support for overclocking, which further increases its attractiveness. You can also save on cooling because a Wraith Spire fan is included in the package.

Model	Ryzen R5 1500X	Intel Core i5-7500

Approximate price (EUR/GBP)	228 / 200	232 / 204

Ryzen R5 1400 vs. Intel Core i5 7400

It is one of the cheapest quad-core processors of the modern generation on the market. It will surely become a popular piece for building a powerful but affordable gaming PC. Its maximum frequency of 3.4GHz is only 100MHz behind the comparable Intel Core i5-7400. Together with the CPU, you will also receive the basic Wraith Stealth cooler variant, but if you take OC seriously, you will need to use your own cooler.

Model	Ryzen R5 1400	Intel Core i5-7400

AMD Ryzen 5 supports motherboards with AM4 slots

We have to admit that this platform is still in its infancy. The product range is not very wide yet, but perhaps the manufacturers will give us a bit more in the R5 series. Less demanding individuals can manage with the B350 chipset , which is cheaper - for example, the ASUS Prime B350-A is already quite affordable. Even so, it supports overclocking.

But we also have solutions for experienced overlockers who require the best hardware. ASUS ROG CROSSHAIR VI HERO in our test has gotten a great 93%, and you won't find anything better for clocking Ryzen. Of course, it features support for SLI and Crossfire, which are multi-graphic modes that work with the same type at the same time. It also has excellent connectivity. As for USB and SATA, there is one M.2 slot that enables the use of the very fast M2 SSDs in PCIe 3.0x4 mode with a direct processor connection. This makes it possible to fully utilise the latest NVMe protocol to achieve the full potential of SSDs. The Chipset X370 is, in fact, AMD's excellent and significant advancement in this area.

AMD Vega graphics cards are likely to be out at the end of May

This year's AMD's offensive is far from over. Apparently, at the end of May, the new AMD Vega graphics chip will be introduced. The first speculations speak of a performance at the same level as GTX 1080 but at a significantly lower price. We anticipate that you will be able to put together a completely new gaming computer with key components from AMD during the holidays.

iAMD (Advanced Micro Devices)
The American company AMD was established in 1969 and will be celebrating half a century in the IT business next year. Maybe this summer we will find out what the near future looks like. The numbers were in the red for the last few years as both Intel and NVIDIA have bitten a big chunk from that segment. However, Ryzen and Vega are getting their hands in and we wish them to succeed, especially because of open competition in the market.

We're Looking Forward to Our Own Benchmarks

Our colleague Michal Mikle is already making plans for a detailed test of the Ryzen 5 line, where he will certainly include a comparison with Ryzen 7 and especially with the competing models from Intel. Meanwhile, we can entice you to his test of the best graphics cards currently on the market, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti.
