Application Benchmarks – Part 2

3DMark

Running the 3DMark Timespy benchmark we see the Ryzen 5 3600X scores 10836 while the Ryzen 5 3600 scores 10742.  That is barely a 1% performance advantage to the Ryzen 5 3600X in 3D.

Aida64 Queen

The Aida64 Queen test has a result of 78018 on the Ryzen 5 3600X and 74550 on the Ryzen 5 3600.  That puts the Ryzen 5 3600X at 5% faster in the Queen test compared to the Ryzen 5 3600.  You can read more about what the CPU Queen benchmark tests here

Aida64 FPU Mandel

The Aida64 Mandel FPU test focuses more on floating-point performance, you can read what it tests here.  The Ryzen 5 3600X scores 31907 while the Ryzen 5 3600 scores 30936.  That is a 3% performance increase on Ryzen 5 3600X versus Ryzen 5 3600.

Aida64 Memory Read

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

Aida64 Memory Write

Memory write performance is also the same at 28GB/s on both CPUs.

Aida64 GPGPU CPU Only

In the above picture, you will see a comparison running the GPGPU benchmark in CPU mode only between the 3600X and 3600 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.

While the Ryzen 5 3600X is faster in every test, it is not majorly so, the results are small increases.
