Rendering Performance – Ryzen 5 7600
We will now take a look at how rendering performance compares.
Cinebench R23
In Cinebench R23 we are pushing all the cores as fast as possible, and when added up, with the lower clock speeds on Ryzen 5 7600, it does perform 7% slower than the Ryzen 5 7600X. PBO does not seem to add much more performance, just 1%.
In single-core performance, the Ryzen 5 7600 ends up being 6% slower than the Ryzen 5 7600X, so there is a more significant difference for Cinebench R23 performance. PBO only adds a small 0.2% difference.
Blender Open Data Benchmark
Take note, the Blender Open Data Benchmark has changed, it now runs 3 scenes and spits out a “Samples per Minute” number, where higher samples are better.
Blender puts all the cores to work, and just like Cinebench we see that the Ryzen 5 7600 is 6% behind the Ryzen 5 7600X. PBO adds only 1% more performance.
We that in junkshop the Ryzen 5 7600 is 5% behind the Ryzen 5 7600X. Adding PBO increases performance by 2%.
In the classroom scene, the Ryzen 5 7600 is 7% slower than the Ryzen 5 7600X and PBO adds 2% more performance.
V-RAY 5 Benchmark
In V-Ray 5 the Ryzen 5 7600 is 7% slower than the Ryzen 5 7600X. Turning on PBO increases performance by only 1%.
HandBrake
We are going to test HandBrake performance encoding a 10-minute video using two different media formats, H.264 and AV1 on the CPU only. Remember, we are looking for the lowest time to encode here, the lowest result is the better one.
In this first test, we are rendering using the Creator preset at 2160p60 4K H.264 preset on a 10-minute video which was recorded at 1440p, therefore it is upscaling the video. Our test shows that the Ryzen 5 7600X does the encoding in less time, which is faster at 21.24 minutes/seconds. The Ryzen 5 7600 is slower and adds a couple more minutes to the rendering time. However, turning on PBO does help reduce that time just a small bit.
In this test, we are testing the new AV1 codec in the Fast 2160p60 4K AV1 preset, which is upscaling the video to 4K. As the time to render is longer, the difference widens between the CPUs. We see that on Ryzen 5 7600X it takes 70.45 minutes, but it takes 74.63 minutes on Ryzen 5 7600, an increase of 4 minutes. For long renders, this time adds up. However, once again, turning on PBO does improve performance a small bit.

Join Discussion →Hey this was an interesting article to read, and it had me asking myself about my 5900x CPU.
How would my 5900x CPU compare in gaming workloads to the 7600x CPU. Would I have the same throttle point at 4k and sometimes at 1440p gaming? Would the newer generation with it's overall higher single thread be able to feed a modern GPU more efficiently than my 5900x?
Clearly the raw speed isn't making a big difference for gaming at all at the higher resolutions. Seems like if you're doing CPU based rendering it's clear more threads is better. But for gaming in specific I wonder at the differences.
I guess if you guys end up with SO MUCH free time to do a retrospective on CPU performance that would be awesome.
Only issue really here is the PITA it will be to swap platforms due to difference sockets.
Huh... remember back in the... was it 486 or early Pentium days when Citrix would make socket adapters. Sigh... the good ole days... Around the same time that Nvidia made motherboards for AMD CPU's.
