AMD Ryzen 7 3800X review -
Performance - CineBench 15 (and IPC)
Processor performance: CineBench 15
CB15 supports systems with up to 256 threads. The performance of processors and graphics cards is, as usual, determined on the basis of 3D scenes. A selection of test results allows a rough classification of the benefit of your own system. For the CPU test is a scene with around 280,000 polygons used, while the GPU test based on OpenGL comes with about a million polygons, high-resolution textures, and various effects. The results will be issued in final points (CPU) and fps (GPU). According to the developers, the software has been "extensively developed to exploit the performance of new hardware as possible." The results are unsurprisingly not comparable with those from earlier versions. You'll notice we still need to add a number of processors, all in due time. You'll notice the single-core perf paints a completely different picture here.
Instructions per cycle (IPC)
This IPC test will build up and get updated over time. We lock all processor cores at 3500 MHz. That way you can see the architecture performance of the processor clocked at exactly the same frequency. This is a single thread measurement. For many people, this is the holy grail of CPU measurements in terms of how fast an architecture per core really is. I, however, tend to say there's more to it than that, and that would be higher frequency allowances, caches and memory latency defining that per-core performance.
You'll notice a 10 to 12% IPC increase over the original ZEN architecture depending on what model you compare with, which in processor land is huge.
It's quite late to the market, but AMD recently released the non-X SKUs of several processors. Today we look at the AMD Ryzen 5 5600. The processor has a locked multiplier but still is configured at...

It's time for another ZEN3 review, this time something extra special for gamers. It's the much-discussed Ryzen 7 5800X3D. The CPU, which is on many people's radar, features eight cores and sixteen ...
AMD Ryzen 5 5600G and Ryzen 7 5700G review
It's time for some new reviews, announced a while ago for the OEM market, but now available in retail are the Ryzen 7 5700G (8c/16t) and Ryzen 5 5600G (6c/12t) APUs. These puppies come with integrat...
AMD Ryzen 7 5800X review
It's time for already our 4th ZEN3 review, yes the much anticipated Ryzen 5 5800X. This is the processor that is on the watchlist of many with 8 cores and 16 threads if offers a bit more flexibility ...
