SiSoftware Sandra
We are now testing in the popular SiSoftware Sandra 2021 version. We are testing the CPU arithmetic section. In this graph above we are looking at Dhrystone integer performance in multi-threading. The new Intel Core i5-11600K seems to be doing very well here and is a few percent faster than the Ryzen 5 5600X. Compared to the last generation the improvement is 15% which is respectable.
In this graph, we are now looking at the Whetstone floating-point performance in multi-threading. In terms of floating-point performance, the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X is better, at an advantage of 10%. However, there is an improvement over the last generation by 7%.
Now we are looking at Dhrystone integer performance again, but this time on a single thread. In single-thread performance, the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X seems to be just a bit faster.
The same is true in the Whetstone floating point test in single-thread, the 5600X is faster.
