Aida64 Benchmarks

Aida64 Queen

Ryzen 7 2700X vs Ryzen 7 3700X Performance Review Aida64 CPU Queen Graph

The Aida64 Queen tests has a result of 100166 on the Ryzen 7 3700X and 94256 on the Ryzen 7 2700X.  That puts the Ryzen 7 3700X at 6% faster in the Queen test compared to the Ryzen 7 2700X.  CPU Queen focuses more on integer performance.

Aida64 FPU Mandel

Ryzen 7 2700X vs Ryzen 7 3700X Performance Review Aida64 FPU Mandel Graph

The Aida64 Mandel FPU test focuses more on floating-point performance.  The Ryzen 7 3700X scores 42473 while the Ryzen 7 2700X scores 21886.  That’s a whopping 94% increase in performance on the Ryzen 7 3700X.  This indicates that floating-point performance has been increased greatly from Zen 2 compared to the Zen architecture.  Also, the inclusion of twice the amount of L3 cache on the Ryzen 7 3700X also helps out a lot.

Aida64 Memory Read

Ryzen 7 2700X vs Ryzen 7 3700X Performance Review Aida64 Memory Read Graph

The memory read performance is pretty much identical between the two CPUs delivering 50-51GB/s of memory read bandwidth.

Aida64 Memory Write

Ryzen 7 2700X vs Ryzen 7 3700X Performance Review Aida64 Memory Write Graph

You will notice that the performance is very different for the memory write performance.  Ryzen 7 3700X actually writes at a lesser performance of 28GB/s, while Ryzen 7 2700X can write at 48GB/s. 

The reason for this is down to the chiplet layout on the Ryzen 7 3700X versus the monolithic layout on the Ryzen 7 2700X.  The CCD/IOD link is 16B/cycle for writing on the Ryzen 7 3700X to save power and area inside the package per CCD.  Whereas, with the Ryzen 7 2700X monolithic design it’s 32B/cycle because it’s all one die, no separate CCDs.  You can read more about it here.  This doesn’t actually harm performance though in real-world applications as has been shown so far and you will continue to see.

Aida64 GPGPU CPU Only

Ryzen 7 2700X vs Ryzen 7 3700X Performance Review Aida64 GPGPU CPU Table Comparison

In the above picture you will see a comparison running the GPGPU benchmark in CPU mode only between the 2700X and 3700X in Aida64.  This lets you compare several values like single-precision and double-precision FLOPS, AES-256 encryption, SHA-1 Hash and Single and Double Precision Julia and Mandel.  You can see where the Ryzen 7 3700X really shines.
