Rendering Performance
We will now take a look at how rendering performance compares.
Cinebench R23
In Cinebench R23 the AMD Ryzen 5 5600G is 3% faster than the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X in multi-core rendering. This backups other data we’ve collected on the previous pages that show that in multi-core/threading performance the Ryzen 5 5600G can be slightly faster. This is due to a couple of reasons, the all-core clock speed remaining higher, plus differences in latencies and even better memory write performance on the 5600G. The 5600G can certainly keep up with the 5600X in such workloads, despite having half the L3 cache. There are also big gains versus the 3600X, 16% better performance here.
In single-core performance, though the Ryzen 5 5600X is always going to be faster due to the faster clock speed. However, the 5600G is still no slouch as it comes within 6% of the 5600X’s performance. It’s also a lot faster than the 3600X providing a 10% performance advantage.
Blender Open Data Benchmark
The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G does provide a performance advantage in Blender over the Ryzen 5 3600X, despite both having the same core/thread count. The Ryzen 5 5600G is 8% faster than the Ryzen 5 3600X, saving over 1 minute and 20 seconds off the render time. The performance is very similar and close to the Ryzen 5 5600X, which is only slightly faster but not by a lot.
V-Ray 5 Benchmark
In V-Ray the AMD Ryzen 5 5600G is much closer to the Ryzen 5 5600X in performance, within 4% of it, so they are very close. The 5600G is 11% faster than the 3600X.
HandBrake
The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G also saves time over the Ryzen 5 3600X in HandBrake. It’s 10% faster than the 3600X and saves almost two minutes off the time for rendering. It’s actually even slightly faster than the 5600X, which is very impressive.
