2020Early morning of October 9，AMD releases four Ryzen 5000-series processors based on Zen 3 architecture：Ryzen 5950X、Ryzen 5900X、Ryzen 5800X and Ryzen 5600X。at the press conference，AMD says，Instructions per clock cycle (IPC) performance of Zen 3 core architecture is up to 19% higher than previous generation Zen 2 products；Ryzen 5000-series processors get a massive boost in simplex performance，High-end products have fully surpassed the current flagship game processor in terms of game performance - Intel Core i9-10900K。
The press conference was extremely popular on major websites，「AMD，Yes! "Mass Su's mother and the new processor in her hand into an airtight。Is the Ryzen 5000 series really that powerful? after a month，We are finally waiting for the results of the evaluation。
recently，Anandtech, a well-known foreign hardware evaluation website, released an evaluation report。After testing the four Ryzen 5000-series CPUs above，they concluded that：「AMD is the new king」。
IPC increased by more than 19%
anandtech tested with industry standard benchmarks at rated clock speeds and JEDEC supported memory，The measured IPC improvement was as high as 23% (from Zen 2 to Zen 3)。If you compare Zen3 with Zen in the early years，It can be found that the IPC has increased by 41%。
In real world benchmarks，It can be seen that the Ryzen 5000 series has achieved an average performance improvement of more than 24%，This means that this series of processors has a strong improvement in IPC and frequency.。
The highest frequency of the flagship can reach 5.0 GHz
Turbo frequency usually depends on setting。Since AMD uses a combination of published turbo frequency and opportunistic boosting frequency，So the exact turbo frequency is hard to determine。For the flagship processor Ryzen 9 5950X，The turbo frequency listed by AMD is 4900 MHz。
but，in very standard cases，Evaluator results can exceed this number，up to 5050 MHz。Reviews also show，Compared with the turbo frequency officially announced by AMD，All Ryzen 5000 series processors show 50-150 MHz headroom。
Since the frequency can reach 5 GHz，Why didn't AMD announce it? reviewers think，first，AMD may want to focus on their market-leading performance and engineering prowess，And that doesn't need 5 GHz；Second，If 5 GHz is announced，Everyone will not pay attention to other content of the press conference；at last，AMD may want to leave some room for adjustments in future products。
The whole series of single-execution thread breaks through 600 points
AMD recently likes to use CineBench as a performance measure。The company announced at the press conference，The single-thread running score of the Ryzen 5000 series processor has exceeded the 600-point mark，Ryzen only 5 5600X is slightly behind。
Evaluation results show，The four processors of the Ryzen 5000 series have a single-thread minimum running score of 600。This score is significant，Because Intel's latest Tiger Lake processor (turbo frequency 4.8GHz) only ran to 595。
In terms of multithreading，Ryzen 9 5950X even broke through the 10,000-point mark，This is also what they did not emphasize in the press conference。Others that can reach this benchmark are only 205w Intel Xeon and AMD thread tearers。
game performance
Next is the game review，anandtech has selected 6 offline games and 8 online games。they found，Ryzen 9 3900XT vs.，Ryzen 9 5900X in 1920×10805% to 50% improvement in the game。
In the CPU limit test，Such as 720p or 480p minimum，Can see Ryzen 9 5950X and Ryzen 9 3950X compared to，Average frames per second increased by 44%。According to test results，Ryzen 9 5950X performance improvements range from 10% to 80%，in chernobyl、Borderlands 3、Significant improvements have been made to tactical gear as well as in F1 2019。
For more mainstream game testing，in 1920×1080When the game quality setting is maximized，It can be seen that the performance improvement has reached more than 10% on average，including world of tanks、Red Dead Redemption etc.，Some games (civilization 6、Island 5) has been improved by more than 36%。
The most important comparison is AMD Ryzen 9 5950X and Intel Core i9-10900K。In the CPU limit test，AMD Ryzen 9 5950X achieved an average FPS increase of 21%，Varies from 2% to 52%。But in the 1080p max setting test，The results are comparable on average，exist- 4%and +6% (not counting here a special case of，AMD achieved a 43% boost in Civilization 6 testing)。
Chernobyl
"Chernobyl" is a post-apocalyptic survival game published by The Farm 51。The game plot is at 1:23 am on April 26, 1986, Ukrainian time，Chernobyl nuclear disaster breaks out，35Thousands of lives changed forever。Players need to survive the ruins of this post-nuclear disaster，Therefore, it is necessary to face all kinds of creatures polluted by nuclear radiation、Certain paranormal and other military forces lurking in the area。Players can craft weapons and equipment，You can even form an alliance with others to survive together，At the same time, all kinds of evidence must be collected to piece together a complete story.。
The benchmarks in the Chernobyl game are impressive，There are complex buildings and a lot of trees，So aliasing becomes very important。In-game benchmarks are real-world experiences of indoor and outdoor scenarios，Very CPU bound on design pipeline。so，The tester used the offline version，And 4 resolution/quality settings were used in the benchmark：360p Low、1440p Low、4K Low and 1080p Max。Within 10 minutes of each resolution/setting combination，The tester ran multiple times，then take the average。
The final test results are shown in the figure below，Compared to Intel Core series CPUs，AMD Ryzen series has the largest average frame rate advantage at 360p Low setting，In other settings, each other wins and loses，The overall difference is not big。
civilization 6
Civilization 6 (Sid Meier's Civilization VI) is a turn-based strategy game developed by Firaxis Games，It is the latest work in the Civilization series，It is also a work celebrating the 25th anniversary of the series。The game is easy to learn but hard to master，Playing to the later stage consumes both brain power and computing power，People call the next round 6。
For benchmarks in turn-based strategy games like Civilization，Frame rate is not the most important，5 frames per second is often enough。But in Civilization 6，Firaxis Games takes visual fidelity to the extreme，Trying to actually pull you into the game。so，when adding details，Civilization 6 consumes graphics card and CPU，Especially on DirectX 12。
This benchmark has the following 4 resolution/quality settings：480p Min、1440p Min、4k Min and 1080p Max。
for automation，Firaxis Games supports in-game automated benchmarking from the command line，and output a resulting file with frame times。Within 10 minutes of each resolution/setting combination，The tester ran multiple times，then take the average。
The final test results are shown in the figure below，Compared to Intel Core series CPUs，The AMD Ryzen series showed an absolute advantage in all 4 settings。
final fantasy 14
Although one digit less than "Final Fantasy 15"，But the world's hottest MMORPG game FF14 has been updated since its launch，Also provides an opportunity for image updates。FF14 launched the "Shadow Backfire" expansion in July 2019，Also released the official independent benchmark，Let users know what level of performance they can expect。
This test is a 7 minute long simulated gameplay scenario，which has many interesting graphical features，Judging by the appearance, this is definitely more like the 2019 version，instead of the 2010 version (the version that first came out in FF14)。
Since this is an independent benchmark，So don't worry about updating。The key to this type of end-user testing is to maintain consistent code versions。The test suite is set up as follows：768p Minimum、1440p Minimum、4K Minimum and 1080p Maximum。
Same as other benchmarks，Each resolution/setting combination is run multiple times within ten minutes，then take the average。According to the actual test time，Each setting was run twice。
The final test results are shown in the figure below，Compared to Intel Core series CPUs，AMD Ryzen series has the largest average frame rate advantage at 768p Min settings，Under other settings, it is in the forefront of the average frame rate，But the overall difference is not big。
GTA 5
GTA 5 is an old game，But it's still very useful as a benchmark，Because its game scene has many complex features，Really hard to keep frame rate high。
GTA does not provide image presets，Instead, it opens up more options for users、extend enough boundaries，Push the hardest mode to the limit with Rockstar's Advanced Game Engine under DirectX 11。When the player is flying long distances on the mountains or dealing with garbage all over the city，Boosting it to the max yields stunning visuals，But it's a tough job for both CPU and GPU。There are 4 resolution/quality settings in the benchmark：720p Low、1440p Low、4K Low and 1080p Max。
The in-game benchmark consists of five scenarios：Four short shots with different lighting and weather effects，and a fifth action sequence that lasts about 90 seconds。Only the last part of the benchmark is used here，It contains flying scenes of jet planes，Drive through multiple intersections into the city，Then hit the exploding tanker，Cause other cars to explode too，is a mix of distance-rendered and detailed up-close-rendered action sequences。
An interesting discovery while testing GTA。If the CPU is too slow or has too few cores，Benchmarks will load，but not enough time to place the object in the correct position。like，When running a single core Sandy Bridge system，Jets end up stuck in middle of intersection，caused traffic jams。The final test results are shown in the figure below，Compared to Intel Core series CPUs，AMD Ryzen series ranks at the top of the average frame rate，But the overall difference is not big。
Far Cry 5
Far Cry is a first-person shooter video game series。The first entry in the series was Far Cry，Produced by Crytek Studio in Germany，Released by Ubisoft on March 23, 2004，Applicable to Windows platform。This series of games is sometimes referred to by players as "graphics horror"。Far Cry 5 launched on March 27, 2018。
4 resolution/quality settings were used in this benchmark：720p Low、1440p Low、4K Low and 1080 Ultra。The final test results are shown in the figure below，AMD Ryzen series CPU at 720p Low、1440The average frame rate under p Low and 1080 Ultra settings shows a slight advantage compared to the Intel Core series，In 4K Low settings, it is slightly inferior to the latter。
In general，Zen3 processor game performance soars，General Computing Powerful，The true strength of this generation of Zen3 processors tells us，The PPT of the previous official press conference was not exaggerated。
In the latest evaluation results published by anandtech，AMD Ryzen 5000 series processors top out at 5GHZ，The whole series of single-threaded running points reached 600，The highest multi-threading score exceeds 10,000 points。Compared to the previous generation Zen 2 architecture，Zen 3's IPC increased by more than 19%。For Ryzen 9 5950Gaming PK for X and Intel Core i9-10900K，Anandtech also gave the evaluation results。Among the several game reviews listed in this article，AMD Ryzen series shows overall advantage over Intel Core，Among them, the average frame rate advantage in Civilization 6 is the largest。
Zen 3 scores impress people。AMD takes the lead in nearly every category tested，It is bound to attract more users in the CPU market below $300。
over the past few years，AMD's rivals' stagnation in process，Already giving AMD the upper hand，The latter set a goal for himself to increase IPC by about 7% per year，And the 19% increase on Zen 3 makes Intel lose all benchmarking capabilities - even single-threaded，AMD is stronger now。
