A few days ago a new set of benchmarks on AMD’s Ryzen CPUs have hit the surface and we shared the results in our forums. As reported on AnandTech forum and also on Videocardz, the CPU tested appears to have been an 8-core AMD R7 1700X. According to latest rumors, this benchmark comes from a German system integrator who received the sample before the launch for evaluation purposes.


Before looking to all these numbers a few things need to be clarified. First of all this is an engineering sample and not the final CPU, furthermore the system is based on a low-end MSI A320 Ryzen motherboard with DDR4 memory set at 2400 CL 17-17-17-39-2T. On top of that XFR/Turbo was disabled. According to several users from Reddit and AnandTech forum, all the Intel CPUs used for the benchmark are heavily overclocked.

This means that it’s not been clear what’s been used as a baseline. The Passmark database allows you to select any results from any user and then do a comparison. It's also not clear what memory speed and latency was used for all the different tests and these CPUs. For example the "Physics" test is very sensitive to memory bandwidth and timings. Nevertheless we already know that the Ryzen CPU was tested running with the memory set at DDR4-2400 CL 17-17-17-39-2T and a base clock of 3.40 GHz.

To improve this comparison, we decided to run a couple of tests ourselves with an Intel Core i7-6700K and a Core i7-5820K CPU. Both benchmarks have been conducted with the memory set at DDR4-2400 CL 17-17-17-39-2T and the CPU clock frequency fixed to 3.40 GHz and Turbo disabled.

On our forum you can find all the benchmarks posted on Videocardz. Furthermore there are also several screenshots of all our benchmarks. Below you can find a comparison table with our scores:
