Rendering Benchmarks

Cinebench R20

In this first graph, we are looking at the Multi-Thread results from Cinebench.  The Ryzen 5 3600X scores 3743 while the Ryzen 5 3600 scores 3629.  Once again we see the 3% figure, the Ryzen 5 3600X is 3% faster in Cinebench compared to the Ryzen 5 3600.

Now for the single-thread test.  The Ryzen 5 3600X scores 510 while the Ryzen 5 3600 scores 484.  That’s a 5% performance increase in single-thread to the Ryzen 5 3600X.

Blender Open Data Benchmark

In this first graph, we are looking at the time it takes to render Pavillon Barcelona scene using the CPU only. The Ryzen 5 3600X takes 11 minutes and 33 seconds.  The Ryzen 5 3600 takes 11 minutes and 43 seconds.  That is only .10 seconds faster to the Ryzen 5 3600X.  That is hardly worth it as far as rendering time saved.  That is not even a 1% difference.

Now we are looking at the Victor scene.  This one took 22 minutes and 42 seconds on the Ryzen 5 3600X and 23 minutes and 30 seconds on the Ryzen 5 3600.  That is about a 4%-time savings toward the Ryzen 5 3600X, but in real-time that’s not even a full minute.  Overall, it’s a small time savings with the fastest 3600X.

HandBrake

In HandBrake we are testing the time it takes to transcode a 10-minute video.  The Ryzen 5 3600X took 14 minutes and 55 seconds while the Ryzen 5 3600 took 15 minutes and 13 seconds.  That’s about a 4%-time savings or twenty or so seconds.  It’s not a big difference. 

V-Ray

In V-Ray the Ryzen 5 3600X scores 10731 ksamples while the Ryzen 5 3600 scores 10465 ksamples.  That is a 3% performance improvement to the Ryzen 5 3600X.
