AIDA64 CPU Benchmarks
Now we will look at some specific AIDA64 CPU Benchmarks which test specific parts of the CPUs. The AIDA64 PhotoWorxx benchmark stresses integer arithmetic and multiplication execution units of the CPU and also the memory subsystem. The AIDA64 AES benchmark performance using AES data encryption. The SHA3 benchmark tests CPU performance using the SHA3 hashing algorithm and is AVX-512 aware. The FPU Julia benchmark measures the single-precision floating-point performance of the CPU. The FPU Mandel CPU test tests the double-precision floating-point performance of the CPU.
CPU PhotoWorxx
In this CPU PhotoWorxx benchmark, the new Ryzen 5 7600X outperforms the last generation Ryzen 5000 CPUs by quite a bit. However, interestingly, the Intel Alder Lake CPUs smash performance in this benchmark compared to even the new Zen 4 CPUs. Compared to the Ryzen 5 5600X the new Ryzen 5 7600X is 54% faster, so a very big uplift from the last generation.
CPU AES
In CPU AES the new Ryzen 5 7600X is faster than the Ryzen 7 5800X3D and Intel Core i5-12600K, but right under the Ryzen 7 5800X. Compared to the last generation Ryzen 5 5600X the new 7600X is 35% faster.
CPU SHA3
In the CPU SHA3 test, the Ryzen 5 7600X is faster than the Ryzen 7 5800X and Intel Core i5-12600K. Compared to the Ryzen 5 5600X the new 7600X is 49% faster.
FPU Julia
In FPU Julia the new Ryzen 5 7600X is faster than the Core i5-12600K and on par with Ryzen 7 5800X3D performance. Compared to the Ryzen 5 5600X the new 7600X is 31% faster.
FPU Mandel
In FPU Mandel the Ryzen 5 7600X is again faster than the Intel Core i5-12600K by quite a good margin, and a little less than the Ryzen 7 5800X3D. Compared to the Ryzen 5 5600X the new 7600X is 25% faster.
Memory Read
Looking at the memory bandwidth, the Ryzen 5 7600X comes in at 58.8GB/s. This is faster than DDR4, but due to how the CCD complexes are laid out, the memory read is lower than the 7900X. Intel has the lead on raw bandwidth with DDR5, and remember we are using the same RAM modules, the same frequency, and the same timings here.
Memory Write
Memory write speeds are better, and come very close to the Intel platform at 80GB/s for write speeds. It blows the doors off of the write speed with DDR4 on the AM4 platform.
Memory Latency
Looking at memory latency it is clear that DDR5 still doesn’t quite reach the memory latency of DDR4, but this is common for the AM5 platform and Intel Alder Lake platform. The latency overall isn’t horrible, the 12600K actually has the highest latency.
