The new AMD Zen 3 microarchitecture hexa-core processor Ryzen 5 5600X was released in November 2020 and has shaken up the CPU market. For the first time after more than 10 years of Intel dominance, AMD and specifically the Ryzen 5000 series have become superior in absolutely every aspect, including performance in PC games and single-core applications, which were the last two Intel 10th generation CPUs before the Zen 3 debuted.
Salīdzinājumā ar AMD Zen 2 arhitektūru un uz tās būvētajiem Ryzen 3000. sērijas procesoriem, Zen 3 var lepoties ar 19% IPC (instructions per cycle) pieaugumu, kas inženieriem izdevies, optimizējot kešatmiņu un citus procesora mezglus un darbības procesus.
This 19% increase has led to the mid-priced Ryzen 5 5600X processor outperforming even the almost twice as expensive Intel Core i9-10900K in tests that use only one processor core!
In PC gaming, the Ryzen 5000 series processors look just as convincing. Comparing the performance of the new Ryzen 5 5600X processor in 11 different PC games, it clearly outperforms its direct competitors - the six-core Intel Core i5-10600K and even the eight-core Core i7-10700K.
AMD couldn't match the twice as expensive 10-core Core i9-10900K, but the difference is a mere 10 FPS. That's not much considering that these tests used the most powerful GeForce RTX 3090 graphics card currently available, which costs on average €2,000.
Here's a video comparing the performance of the Ryzen 5 5600X with its predecessor, the Ryzen 5 3600X, and its fiercest rival, the Intel Core i7-10700K.
The new AMD Ryzen 5000 series Zen 3 processors are no less dominant in photo and video processing tasks. In the Adobe Photoshop test, the Ryzen 5 5600X outperforms the Core i5-10600K by an impressive 22%.
In Adobe Premiere Pro, one of the most popular video tools, AMD's hexa-core processor also has an advantage of more than 10 percent.
This processor is shipped without "Retail" packaging and without a cooler. In terms of performance, it is identical to the boxed processor.
