At the March press conference, AMD announced the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, which is expected to be available on April 20. This new processor with AMD 3D V-Cache technology also synchronizes multiple Zen 2 and Zen 3 architecture products.
In the Zen 2 architecture section there are Ryzen 3 4100, Ryzen 5 4500 and Ryzen 5 4600G with Radeon Graphics, but this is not the focus of our introduction, the part we want to introduce is the Zen 3 architecture Ryzen 5 5600 and Ryzen 7 5700X; 3 In addition to the Ryzen 7 5800X3D with 3D V-Cache, the series processors introduced at the month’s conference have a TDP of 65W.
The Ryzen 7 5700X with Zen 3 architecture is an 8-core 16-thread configuration with a base clock of 3.4GHz, a boost clock of up to 4.6GHz, and a 36MB Total Cache (L2 + L3) configuration. When buying this processor with a suggested price of $299, you need to pay special attention, because it does not come with any heatsink, and users need to purchase an additional heatsink.
The Ryzen 5 5600 processor, which is also Zen 3 architecture, is configured with 6 cores and 12 threads, the base clock is 3.5GHz, the Boost clock can reach up to 4.4GHz, and has a 35MB Total Cache (L2 + L3) configuration. Different from the Ryzen 7 5700X, this 6-core processor with a suggested price of $199 is equipped with a Wraith Stealth radiator, and users do not need to purchase extra. If it is for better cooling performance, and on the premise of sufficient budget, it is also A pretty good choice.
Although the Ryzen 5 5600 has the same 6-core 12-thread configuration as the Ryzen 5 5500, the biggest difference between the two processors is that the former supports PCIe Gen4, while the Ryzen 5 5500 6-core processor only supports PCIe Gen3; On the one hand, the Total Cache of the Ryzen 5 5500 is reduced from 35MB of the Ryzen 5 5600 to 19MB.
The specifications of the 2 AMD Ryzen processors are generally introduced, and the next step is to see the actual performance of the 2 processors, but the relationship between time and resources, there is no way to test with Intel Core i7-1200K and Intel Core i5-12400 data comparison.
First see the AIDA64 CPU and MEMORY performance of Ryzen 7 5700X and Ryzen 5 5600.
Generally speaking, the 8-core Ryzen 7 5700X has a bigger win than the 6-core Ryzen 5 5600, which is not difficult to find in the CPU test data of AIDA64; the only difference is the CPU PhotoWorxx, the test data difference between the two processors is in Within 2%, it counts as a number within the margin of error.

Follow along to see the data in the PCMark section.
The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 performs better than the 8-core Ryzen 7 5700X in the Productivity section. The reason may be that the 6-core Ryzen 5 5600 has a more stable core clock than the 8-core Ryzen 7 5700X during the test. Good cause.

Next is the 3DMark test data, which is performed here using the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Founders Edition.
The data of 3DMark can clearly see the performance difference between the 8-core Ryzen 7 5700X and the 6-core Ryzen 5600, which is also directly different in the test data; Port Royal does not look at the number of CPU cores, but only looks at the GPU part , so there is no significant difference in its scores.

The final test is the game performance that everyone cares about. Here, we provide data for your reference through 3 resolutions of 3840 x 2160, 2560 x 1400 and 1920 x 1080.
The data can be found that if the game supports multi-core, the game will have a better performance under the same display card, but we do it without any background applications, and normal users generally use it. situation, because some applications reside in the background of the operating system, the impact of the number of cores on the game will be more obvious.

Through testing, it can also be found that whether it is a 6-core Ryzen 5 5600 or an 8-core Ryzen 7 5700X, it can play quite well with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 high-end graphics card.
In the case of a limited budget, the 6-core processor Ryzen 5 5600 with a high-end graphics card is a good choice, and if the budget is sufficient, the 8-core Ryzen 7 5700X may be more suitable, but remember to keep the budget for this 8 Add a radiator to the core processor. In addition, the memory clock and CL value will also affect the performance of the entire AMD platform, so don’t forget this part when purchasing.
How to choose the Ryzen 5 5500 of PCIe Gen3 and the Ryzen 5600 of PCIe Gen4 depends on whether there is a demand for PCIe Gen4. Of course, this refers to the M.2 SSD part. After all, there was no significant gap between PCIe Gen4 and PCIe Gen3 bandwidth test data for various PCIe Gen4 graphics cards in the past. There are no special requirements for PCIe Gen4, and the 6-core Ryzen 5 5500 for PCIe Gen3 is also an option that can be considered.
