SiSoftware Sandra and AIDA64
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. In SiSoftware Sandra 2021’s arithmetic multi-threaded test the AMD Ryzen 5 5600G is proving to be right up there once again with the Ryzen 5 5600X for multi-threaded performance. This is most likely due to a higher sustained all-core frequency and latency differences. The 5600G is 13% faster than the 3600X.
The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X is faster in single-threaded performance due to the faster clock speed, but ultimately the 5600G is not far behind, it’s right up there close to 5600X performance. It’s 17% faster than the 3600X showing it has much better IPC.
The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G is also strong in multi-media multi-threaded testing, which is floating-point, where it is 1% faster than the 5600X. Compared to the 3600X it is 27% faster!
The Ryzen 5 5600X is slightly faster in single-threaded, but the 5600G is within 5% of the 5600X’s performance. The 5600G is 18% faster than the 3600X.
AIDA64
We are now going to use AIDA64’s Cache and Memory benchmark to look at RAM memory bandwidth and RAM and cache latencies between both CPUs.
All three CPUs perform about the same on memory read performance, as they are all using the same RAM and memory controller. They average around 50-52GB/s of memory bandwidth on read.
The one thing that does differ is memory write performance, and this is due to the CCD/CCX layout between the CPUs. The 5600G utilizes a different configuration that doesn’t bottleneck the memory write performance as the 3600X and 5600X does. Therefore the 5600G actually has better write performance. This makes a difference in regards to the Vega 7 integrated graphics performance, the higher memory write performance is good for the Radeon Graphics portion of the APU.
