Our testing reveals that the 7600X is only a tiny bit faster than the 7600, by a negligible margin. Serious gaming with a discrete graphics card works very well on the Ryzen 5 7600, too-of course. For all other typical consumer activities, these integrated graphics are awesome and they'll be a huge selling factor for cost-optimized or compact office systems, a market where Intel has traditionally dominated, because discrete graphics cards weren't required. A real, discrete graphics card is still much faster, even the most entry-level Radeon RX 6400 offers four times (!) the FPS. AMD is able to match the IGP of the Core i9-13900K, which uses Intel's latest Xe architecture, that they've spent a ton of die area on. While AMD is very clear that the integrated graphics are not for gaming, performance is still impressive (for an IGP). Some lighter 3D apps work perfectly fine, too, and get hardware-acceleration, just like all video decode and encode workloads, for video conferencing as an example. Overall IGP performance is outstanding, and plenty for everything except serious gaming. Windows Update will install the right driver, or you can grab the official AMD Radeon drivers. These "just work"-if no discrete graphics card is installed, plug the monitor cable in the motherboard, boom, everything works. All Zen 4 Ryzens come with the same integrated GPU, the new 65 W models, too. This is a huge deal for businesses, because they just want a box that can run Office, a browser and their own software-no need for an expensive GPU, one more thing that could break and needs maintenance. While AMD Zen 3 lacked integrated graphics, Zen 4 now comes with an iGPU. you're using the processor professionally and less time waiting on such tasks means more money in the bank for you, then you might want to consider a model with more cores, but for the vast majority of the market a Rywill have plenty of muscle for all workloads. The Zen 4 architecture is also great at computationally intensive tasks like rendering and encoding. Performance is very respectable and can handle all day-to-day tasks with ease. Overall, Rywill give you virtually the same productivity experience as the 7600X, as long as you don't time it with a stopwatch. Intel's Core i5-13600K is 23% ahead, thanks to the mix of P- and E-cores, but also more expensive. Ryzen 7 7700X offers 20% performance uplift for $115 more. The Zen 3 flagships 5900X and 5950X are only 6% and 15% faster, respectively. The gen-over-gen uplift, compared to the Ryzen 5 5600, is 32%. At this performance level it matches the Intel Core i5-12600K and is 8% faster than the Zen 3 Ryzen 5800X 8-core, and 10% faster than 5800X3D. Cache sizes are identical, too, the new processor is drop-in compatible and will "just work," although a BIOS update is recommended.Īveraged over our 45 application tests we find that the Ryis only 5% slower than the 7600X-pretty impressive for a 30% price difference. The base frequency is now 3.8 GHz, down from 4.7 GHz, and maximum Boost has been lowered by 200 MHz, to 5.1 GHz. Besides the change in TDP from 105 W to 65 W, the clock speeds have been reduced, too. The Ryis virtually identical to the Ryzen 5 7600X, it's based on the exact same Raphael silicon, which uses a multi-chip module that combines a 6 nm IO die, with a CCD compute die that's fabricated in 5 nanometers, containing the CPU's number crunching logic. In order to strengthen their position, AMD's new Zen 4 processors come at lower prices, with lower power consumption, and include a cooler in the box, which further helps improve the value of the CPU. Also, Intel's newfound success with the Alder Lake and Raptor Lake architectures means that AMD is no longer the only CPU-choice worth considering. In this review we're covering the Ryzen 5 7600, today's second review is for the Ryzen 7 7700, the 7900 is coming in a few days.ĪMD's Zen 4, while very impressive processors technically, have been having a hard time winning over the hearts of buyers, because people are trying to save money where they can in these challenging times, and the high motherboard cost, plus DDR5 exclusivity, make the Zen 4 platform quite expensive overall. AMD announced their new affordable Zen 4 65 W processors at CES last week, today we have the reviews for you.
