Rendering Performance – Ryzen 5 7600

We will now take a look at how rendering performance compares.

Cinebench R23

AMD Ryzen 5 7600 CPU 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%.

AMD Ryzen 5 7600 CPU Cinebench R23

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.

AMD Ryzen 5 7600 CPU Blender Benchmark Monster

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.

AMD Ryzen 5 7600 CPU Blender Benchmark Junkshop

We that in junkshop the Ryzen 5 7600 is 5% behind the Ryzen 5 7600X. Adding PBO increases performance by 2%.

AMD Ryzen 5 7600 CPU Blender Benchmark Classroom

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

AMD Ryzen 5 7600 CPU 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.

AMD Ryzen 5 7600 CPU HandBrake Benchmark

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.

AMD Ryzen 5 7600 CPU HandBrake Benchmark

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.

SUMMARY

We pit the AMD Ryzen 5 7600 versus the Ryzen 5 7600X and compared performance head-to-head in synthetic, system and gaming benchmarks. We also enabled PBO overclocking to see how much performance it can claw back. The Ryzen 5 7600 performed very closely to the Ryzen 5 7600X, with a minimum performance loss, but a large efficiency improvement. It can perform near the 7600X, while still using less power, and running cooler. It offers a great value, with no gaming performance loss, and even comes with a CPU cooler making it a complete package.
