[Summary] Imagine that when Tackey was once attacked by Intel, they all looked forward to AMD once again returning to the stage of high performance. For this moment we waited for almost ten years!
Text / Tencent Digital Zhou Shuo
For many years, the confrontation between AMD and Intel has always led the PC industry, and even the entire IT industry has developed rapidly. However, due to AMD's long-term performance lags behind, it has given DIY players a bad impression of "i5 silent seconds". However, with AMD's latest ZEN roadmap and layered exposure of Ryzen's products, everything seems to be different!
Box for Overseas Edition
According to demos we saw at the AMD conference before this, Ryzen 7 series products can be completely against the Intel's top consumer processor performance, while the power consumption is also lower than the Intel products, and the whole Department supports overclocking! Although I'm not AMD's iron powder, I still have tears in my eyes at that moment. I think that once Tsunami was once beaten by Intel to find teeth, everyone in the days went by and expects AMD to return to high performance again. The stage, for this moment we waited for almost ten years!
Test Products: Rui Long Ryzen 7 1800X
What we got this time was that the new product was the highest-end 1800X in AMD's first Ryzen 7 series. AMD gave Ryzen a localized name in the country - Ruilong, which is consistent with the previous AMD product name "Dragon." The formula. So according to AMD's official standard its full name is: AMD Ryzen 7 1800X.
Ruilong AMD Ryzen 7 1800X, using a new 14nm process technology, 8-core 16 threads, TDP is only 95w, the default frequency of 3.6Ghz, Turbo frequency up to 4.0GHz, three cache is 20M.
I think there is basically nothing to be said about product specifications. The only problem is that with many years of stitch design, the new Ryzen series continues to be used. For players like us who are always being demolished and removed, the processor is brought down by the radiator at every turn, and it is really worried about inadvertently bending the pins. Fortunately, after an ordinary user is installed, he will not easily move it. According to AMD engineers, at least the AM4 pin design will continue in the ZEN generation road map. For good performance, everyone can only endure.
AM4 platform related information
Comparing the products, Intel selected the i7-6900K for performance, with 8 cores and 16 threads, using 14nm technology, TDP reached 140W, the default frequency was 3.2GHz, Turbo could reach 3.7GHz, and the third level cache was 20M. . Basically, AMD launched the Ryzen 7 1800X in order to overturn Intel's i7-6900K, because in addition to the 10-core 20-thread stacking i7-6950X, there is no mountain in front of AMD.
Test platform includes:
Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 1800X
Memory: Corsair VENGEANCE LPX DDR4 3000MHz (16GB=8GB×2)
SSD: Toshiba A100 240GB SSD
Motherboard: MSI X370 XPOWER GAMING TITANIUM
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GTX 1080 Public Edition
Radiator: AVC Black Knight Air Cooler
Power Supply: Bone Gigabit G800 800w Gold Power Supply
Comparison test platform:
Processor: Intel i7-6900K
Memory: Corsair VENGEANCE LPX DDR4 3000MHz (16GB=8GB×2)
SSD: Toshiba A100 240GB SSD
Motherboard: Gigabyte X99-UD4
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GTX 1080 Public Edition
Radiator: AVC Black Knight Air Cooler
Power Supply: Bone Gigabit G800 800w Gold Power Supply
From the test platform we can see that in addition to the corresponding AM4 socket and LGA2011, using different motherboards (two motherboards are 3,000 yuan top), the other platform conditions are exactly the same. This also facilitates us to get a relatively accurate comparison. Say no more, the following performance test formally started.
Processor BENCHMARK performance comparison test
1, CINEBENCH R15 single-core / multi-core rendering test
The reference data provided before the official is single-core 162cb, multi-core 1607cb. From the actual test situation, basically consistent with the official data provided. The single-core rendering got 158cb, and the multi-core scored 1593cb.
Compared with the i7-6900K, although it has a slight advantage on the single core, it is almost completely suppressed by the AMD Ryzen 7 1800X on the multi-core. Here I must emphasize that because this test only involves Ruilong AMD Ryzen 7 1800X and i7-6900K, so the data of the control group comes from the network, its accuracy is for reference only.
2, CPUZ 1.78 performance test
CPUZ software comes with the CPU performance test, accuracy ... ... is very general, for everyone to refer to it.
3, SISoftware Sandra Scientific Computing Test
SISoftware Sandra is relatively old CPU testing software, accuracy can also be. It can mainly describe a processor's operating speed and instruction execution speed. The software provides two reference units one is GOPS (billions of operations per second) GIPS (billions of instructions per second). In this test, it can be said that the AMD Ryzen 7 1800X occupies an advantage, especially the execution of the instructions seems to be more efficient than the i7-6900K.
4, SUPER PI 1M bit calculation time-consuming test
SUPER P1 This is also an old processor testing software, domestic players should also be more familiar with. Calculate the time-consuming comparison chart directly on the 1M bit.
In this project, I ran many times over and over. The final result is still slightly superior to i7-6900K, but it is not obvious.
5, Fritz Chess BENCHMARK (Chess)
Play DIY, and someone else does not know chess test? I guess it should be no, for so many years, the accuracy of this software is still relatively good, in the country to test it as a standard.
The problem is that this software is really a bit old. It can only recognize 8 threads, and today's two players in the same field are 8-core 16-threaded products. The estimated effect is equivalent to letting Bolt and Liu Xiang cut off one leg each longer than the long jump... Disability vs Disability Finally, AMD Ryzen 7 1800X achieved a clear lead, with a single leg pressure of 6900K.
6, HANDBRAKE 4K-1080p video transcoding test
HANDBRAKE is a very common video transcoding software abroad, although not so popular in China, but its own timing function can be a good indicator of the processor's transcoding time, as a test is very appropriate. Although AMD officials are doing the HANDBRAKE test, the AMD Ryzen 7 1800X vs. i7-6900K has achieved a successful victory, but it doesn't seem to be the case from my test. The video source I used was 4K resolution with a length of 2 minutes. The final result was 1800X and 6900K, and 1800X ended with a slight disadvantage of 2 seconds.
This actually tells us from another angle that the test is only for reference and may not be able to explain the situation 100%. Many factors will influence the result of the test, such as BIOS version, motherboard driver stability, video encoding, and so on.
7, Performance Test CPUMARK test
This software also focuses on the computational power of the CPU. The content of the project is more detailed, the test is very comprehensive, and ultimately the overall score.
Through this software test, the final results to see Ruilong AMD Ryzen 7 1800X obtained a small lead, not much less than 80 points lead.
8, WinRAR extracts 4795 files
The final project of our CPU benchmark tests selected WinRAR, which we use very frequently every day. I think this is a very intuitive and ground-air test. The test file I chose was the "Singularity Ashes" zip file, which was nearly 5 GB in size and contained 4795 files. The processor's decompression of this file was still time consuming.
From the test results, under the decompression of this everyday use environment, the advantage of AMD Ryzen 7 1800X is very obvious. It takes 15 seconds less than i7-6900K. This friend has enough friends to go to the bathroom to get a urine back.
10 game testing sessions
In terms of game testing, I estimate that some netizens will be very skeptical about whether AMD's own graphics card and AMD Ryzen 7 1800X will have any indefinable darkness, or the backdoor debugging. So for the sake of fairness, I chose the NVIDIA GTX 1080 public card directly. In this way, both AMD and Intel are equal to compete on a third-party graphics card.
Taking into account the different physical qualities of different cards, I even used exactly the same card (in fact, because of the poor, can not afford to buy two), and the other major conditions of the test platform are basically the same. So the point we want to look at is how much the processor has in the same graphics environment.
The test game is divided into two kinds of BENCHMARK and game real-time frame number comparison. BENCHMARK benchmarks include 3DMark Fire Strike, Paradise 4.0, Valley 1.0, Resident Evil 6, Metro 2033, Tomb Raider 9, Tomb Raider: Rise, and Singularity. The game actually selected two popular games I liked very much, GTA5 and Battlefield 1. Here are our actual test results:
1, "3DMark Fire Strike"Ultra mode 4K resolution
3DMark is a well-known running sub-project for domestic players. When testing high-end desktop products, we generally use the Fire Strike scene as a criterion. However, because the hardware used this time is not 8-core 16-thread or GTX 1080, the top-level configuration will be equipped with top-level testing, so we are directly using the Ultra 4K resolution mode.
After the whole set of tests, we found that the smooth addition effects of the AMD Ryzen 7 1800X and i7-6900K to the scene are basically the same. The i7-6900K leads with a slight advantage of 11 points. Actually, this score is true. It's negligible.
It is worth mentioning that we found the same scene test for the 10 core 20 threads i7-6950X on the net. The result was actually AMD Ryzen 7 1800X seconds.. Who gave me a piece of 6950X, I would like to personally try.
2. Paradise 4.0 BENCHMARK
Paradise 4.0 is a very old BENCHMARK, but in fact the pressure on the top hardware is still not small, GTX 1080 with Ruilong AMD Ryzen 7 1800X only 129 frames out of the average number of frames. Of course, the i7-6900K runs less, only 105.9 frames.
3, "Valley 1.0" BENCHMARK
Valley 1.0 is also a BENCHMARK product from the same company. However, after running the subtest, we got a performance in stark contrast to Paradise 4.0. The AMD Ryzen 7 1800X lags behind 97.5 frames of i7-6900K with 85.2 frames.
Therefore, the hardware performance is only one of the aspects. The optimization of the game is actually quite critical. This is why the same hardware configuration, you feel that the game performance consumption is similar to the game, and some games can run very high scores, and some The reason why the game does not work.
4, "Resident Evil 6" BENCHMARK
Resident Evil 6 is so old, just a DX9 game, many people have bought new hardware especially like playing old games that were not fun for the previous few years, so picking it actually represents a lot of people's memorable classic old games. .
It seems that the two processors have relatively stable support for this old game, and the results are very close to each other. It can be estimated that the instantaneous frame number can be changed by 1 frame. In terms of scores, the i7-6900K once again led the way with a slight advantage.
5, "Metro 2033" BENCHMARK
That year's graphics killer, and now it is still fierce to let the general video card readers fear, fortunately, we use today is GTX 1080. 1080p resolution take a subway BENCHMARK, the average number of frames, but more than 50 frames, is still a small lead i7-6900K . It seems that in front of the old game, it seems that i7-6900K is still more likely to dominate.
6, "Tomb Raider 9" BENCHMARK
Abuse Laura link, first test the previous generation BENCHMARK, whether it is from 4K resolution or 1080p resolution, are i7-6900K slightly advantage, but the 4K resolution is only 0.2 frames, 1080p everyone over 230 frames, There should be no difference in reasoning game experience.
7, "Tomb Raider 10" DX 11 BENCHMARK
Tomb Raider: The rise, in the DX11 mode, the situation is basically consistent with the performance of the 9th generation, i7-6900K has an advantage, but not obvious, 4K resolution only 2 frame advantage, the game experience basically no difference.
8, "Tomb Raider 10" DX 12 BENCHMARK
After running DX12 mode again, I was surprised to find that the situation was reversed. The Ruilong AMD Ryzen 7 1800X, whether 4K resolution or 1080p resolution, had more advantages than the i7-6900K. It looks like the AMD Ryzen 7 1800X is more efficient than the DX11 when it executes the DX12.
9, "Singularity ash" CRAZY model DX11 BENCHMARK
Singularity This game is interesting, although no one in the country plays, but almost all media use it as a benchmark.
However, the AMD Ryzen 7 1800X does not seem to be a very good optimization of the game, the overall performance, whether in DX11 or DX12, are at a disadvantage. This proves once again that the hardware is good and has to be optimized. After all, the AMD Ryzen 7 1800X is a new product, and there are opportunities for future optimization.
10, "Singularity ash" CRAZY model DX12 BENCHMARK
As described above, the performance of the AMD Ryzen 7 1800X in the DX12 is also unsatisfactory. However, after running several DX11 and DX12 BENCHMARK scores, we found that the AMD Ryzen 7 1800X performs better on the DX12 than on the DX11. Okay 6900K is also, it seems that DX12 really can bring better execution efficiency and picture fluency than DX11.
11, "GTA5" same scene number of frames test 4K resolution
"GTA5" is a game that is deeply loved by everyone. I am one of them. However, this game can not run well, opened 4K resolution, GTX 1080 only ran 56 frames, you think about it. Of course, as you can see, the two processors performed almost exactly the same in the same scene test.
In addition, the same scene I use here is SKYFALL flying mode under the night, friends who have never played can try, oh remember to open PAINKILLER invincible 5 minutes mode, otherwise it will die......
12, "Battlefield 1" DX11 4K scene with the number of frames tested
I found that the AMD Ryzen 7 1800X seemed to support the new game better, especially when we turned the game up and the resolution was raised to 2K or even 4K, the processor's bonus to the screen would be particularly noticeable. For example, in Battlefield 1 DX11 4K resolution, AMD Ryzen 7 1800X can run 55 frames, 6900K only 45 frames.
13, "Battlefield 1" DX12 4K scene number of frames tested
The same situation also appears in the DX12 mode, with 53 frames leading 51 frames at 6900K.
Power consumption and heat
Actually, I think in terms of power consumption, this is totally insulting the AMD Ryzen 7 1800X, TDP 95w vs i7-6900K 140w? This is really no comparable, power consumption wins!
Regarding this point, you don't even have to look at any complex data. You can clearly perceive the contrast between two processors alone. Remember one rumor: Sometimes, a large device may not live well.
In case of fever, I also monitored during the test. Under normal standby conditions, the core temperature of the AMD Ryzen 7 1800X is only about 29-30 degrees Celsius, and I use only very general air cooling. If the water cooling kit is used with the 120 and 240 cold rows, it is estimated that this temperature can even be controlled at 25 degrees standby, and it is quite scary to think about. When fully loaded, the 3DMark's monitoring pattern shows that its temperature is only 50 degrees, which is completely acceptable.
In contrast, the GTX 1080's full 84-degree GPU core is dazzling...
The great advantage of price you can not ignore
At this point, we can roughly look at the situation. Performance does not dare to say that it is roller compacted, but it has advantages over shoulder or computing performance. This is certainly no problem. In terms of games, due to optimization issues, the performance may vary. Basically, the AMD Ryzen 7 1800X and i7-6900K each have a win.
Power consumption Needless to say, 95W contrast 140w completely true, temperature standby is only about 30 degrees, but loaded with only 50 degrees. In fact, when it comes to this, the vast majority of A powder should also be satisfied, but this fact has not yet reached the key point of the new product.
The key point is that AMD Ryzen 7 1800X only sells 3,999 yuan. How much do you charge for i7-6900K? 8000 early!
Seriously, this performance plus the pricing, I really worry about dealers who have settled 6900K. One day, Intel couldn't live without a price cut. This is not dead. This is still not finished, it is said that Ruilong AMD Ryzen 7 1700X, Rui Long AMD Ryzen 7 1700 performance than the i7-6800K and i7-7700K are 30%, 40% of the magnitude, and it sells cheaper, it seems Intel has a bit of a hard time.
to sum up
From our more comprehensive test, we can see that AMD Ryzen 7 1800X launched by AMD is really like this year! The performance, process level, and power consumption performance are completely comparable to those of the same level, with even a small lead.
Under careful observation, you will find that the AMD Ryzen 7 1800X is actually a leading 6900K among quite a few BENCHMARKs with regard to computing performance. However, when it comes to game testing, due to different game software, the optimization is not enough, resulting in unstable performance. This actually reflects the long-term ecological advantage Intel has accumulated. However, as the new product, AMD Ryzen 7 1800X, has just launched, it is believed that it has satisfied the majority of players. However, I have reason to expect that AMD will release more drivers and patches to optimize and perfect this product. Such as the motherboard BIOS version updates, Turbo patches, optimization of the graphics card, optimization of the majority of games, to complement some of the current products still have some abnormal performance.
If you update the ladder diagram now, this will probably be the case (the ladder diagram is from the network, for reference only)
In addition, for the majority of players, Ruilong AMD Ryzen 7 1800X is the flagship product after all, may still be relatively expensive. If the budget is limited, you can wait for the follow-up Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 3 series. Compared to the Ryzen 7 series, AMD pricing will be more attractive and bring a high cost performance. And Ryzen Ryzen, including Ryzen 5, Ryzen 3 products support overclocking, which is a lot of money for players who love to play love, indeed more than the Toothpaste factory.
If you are thinking about changing your computer, which processor you are stuck with, or oscillating between AMD and Intel platforms. So you don't have to think about it before Intel has adjusted the price. This section is definitely not wrong for selecting AMD Ryzen.
