AMD Ryzen 5 7600X

[W1zzard]

Ryzen 5 7600X is the company's most affordable offering for the Zen 4 family. Our review of the 7600X confirms that this new $300 CPU offers huge performance gains over Zen 3, and can even beat the Ryzen 5800X3D in gaming. In applications, the 7600X is faster than the Intel Core i9-11900K.

Absolutely not worth to come from an overclocked Intel Core i5-12400 CPU.

I mean you would be losing performance.

 

[Dyatlov A]

Yeah, i would loose money and performance.

While the performance gains over the previous 5600x is impressive.... The i5 12600k still remains very competitive and comes close to its performance.... While the 7950X and 7900X's performance gains are very big and impressive compared to the 5950X/5900X and I9 12900k.... The 7600X and 7700X barely overtake the 12600k and 12700k in gaming and productivity workloads and 13th gen Raptor lake is not that far away....

yes but he would be gaining a new heater

Wait this is not what was advertised... Seems disappointing, especially for the platform cost.

 

[HD64G]

A 6-core CPU matching the average in app performance of 5900X is a small miracle imho. Platform cost will get lower in 2-3 months with B650 and the longegivity of AM5 will be the biggest advantage. Also, clocks are getting higher than advertised once cooling is enough.

A AM4 5950x with 4x8GB 4400MHz Samsung B-Die Kit setup ctr 7950x 32GB 6200MHz CL32 kit with a Gigabyte Master edition board cost 10000 dkr versus estimated 15000 dkr in Denmark thats going to be a big mark up

To be honest I'd stay skeptical of their promise for longevity because AMD did break these kinds of promises before like with sTRX4 and B450/X470 was originally not going to be supported for Ryzen 5000s and only did it when the backlash started. Also B350/X370 support for Ryzen 5000s was only enabled after Intel released Alder Lake.... Although it's at least better than Intel 2 generations only per socket....

I hope though that there will be actual stock and not a repeat of the Ryzen 5000s launch where they were unobtainium well into 2021

I'm going to be careful with this review, the 12900/12700/12600 is way too powerful here, unlike other reviews I've seen

So considering amd-dominated games and intel-dominated games, and assuming that 7600x is stronger than 5800x3d in comprehensive performance（as this review shows）, the conclusion is 7600x is stronger than 12900k.This would be the exact opposite of this review.
--------------------

Now I see new reviews from hardware unboxed.
So techpowerup's amd review here is friendly to intel

@W1zzard very thanks for review and specially for add emulators (very usefull because them have high cpu usage) to testing maybe can add in future dolphin emu (anadtech use dolphin in tests) and yuzu switch emulator personally seems more progress than ryujinx

Welcome back, yuz-ers! August was a month packed with progress. A plethora of graphical changes, kernel and file system improvements, and more work pumped into network emulation. Next slide, please!

and do you can test avx 512 in rpcs3 because appear on various articles avx 512 improve performance around 30% (in web testing god of war i think so)

Why Is AVX 512 Useful for RPCS3? – Whatcookie's blog

personally stay interested in how run avx 512 on zen 4 because them use 2x fma 256 for avx 512 implementation meanwhile intel use 1x fma 512 for avx 512 intel implementation

back to testing results in my case seems are more or less 12600k but with higher temps and more expensive, i5 13600k seems more interesting thanks to ddr4 compatibility

 

[Raendor]

Quite a flop and doesn't bring much to the table compared to ADL. Raptor Lake has a chance to beat zen 4 on price and performance.

 

[bug]

I really want to like this, but it just feels like it falls short on every front. Neck to neck with 12600k, basically. Sure, it's more energy efficient, but even that's not really impressive, considering we're looking at 5 vs 10nm.
It's not even better than 5600X, considering the difference in platform cost.

 

[Mine18]

Great review W1zzard! nice to see many different test scenarios used to evaluate performance. I'm curious as to the specifics of the media encoding tests, specifically what version of SVT was used with what preset and at what bitrate? it would be neat if you added that info to all the Zen 4 reviews too!

It's not competing with the 12600k though. wait for the 13600k

I'm not waiting for anything, I'm on ADL, not looking to upgrade this round.
If anything, this makes me feel a little warmer for having chosen wisely

 

[codex5600x]

I'm , the 13 gen of Intel will crush the 7 series of amd.
The 5600x and 12600k are the best cpu

 

[W1zzard]

specifically what version of SVT was used with what preset and at what bitrate?

Just default settings and -w 3840 -h 2160 --fps 24 --progress 0

I started setting up the bench in summer and picked the newest available at that time. Spent the last months retesting processors, using constant version of course

unlike other reviews I've seen

You've read the conclusion where I specifically talk about that, right?

 

[Arkz]

Think I'll stick with my 5600X for the next couple gens

 

[Space Lynx]

I read the 7600x review just now, and the one over on Techspot. I think 7600x is the clear winner with this launch for bang for buck ratio. I think I may do my next build with a 7600x and rdna3 assuming I can get my hands on RDNA3.

 

[Arkz]

Temperature is not heat, how many physics classes did you miss in school?

So a higher temp is not hotter than a lower temp? Got it. Thanks Mr Physics.

 

[Space Lynx]

I want a 420mm AIO Arctic cooler on the 7600x and max PBO it. i bet it would do pretty good. although with a 420mm AIO, i might as well go 7700x or 7900x.

 

[bug]

Technically, he is correct.
But that distinction is irrelevant in this thread: a hotter CPU (higher temperature) will dissipate more heat in the environment, than a cooler (lower temperature) one.

 

[Footman]

Interesting cpu. Not interesting enough for me to spend my money on it. Motherboard and DDR5 costs too high. Right now I can pick up a brand new 5800X from Microcenter for $249 and plug it in to my AM4 platform and get 92% of the 7600X. Put the difference towards a new video card.... Best upgrade for my old 2600x and ddr 3600...
