PCMark 10, CrossMark and Office PC Benchmarks
The overall performance of the computer is first PCMark 10 For the test, you can score the basic computer work of Essentials, such as App startup speed, video conferencing, and web browsing performance. The Productivity productivity test uses spreadsheets and paperwork as test items. Digital Content Creation video content creation, then Tested on photo/video editing, rendering and visualization.
The score of 7900 is 10286, 7700 is 10283, and 7600 is 9923, all of which can meet the needs of basic document surfing and paperwork. The higher the number of cores, the higher the efficiency of digital content creation will be.
↑ PCMark 10, higher scores are better.
Cross-platform computer performance testing tool CrossMarkis a free test tool developed by BAPCo that supports platforms such as Windows, iOS/iPadOS, macOS, and Android, and is aimed at computer productivity, such as text editing, spreadsheets, web browsing, and creative photo editing, organizing, and Video editing and other work, plus computer response speed for testing.
7900 reached 2107 points, 7700 scored 2135 points, and 7600 scored 1985 points. This test added the test item of computer response, so when the CPU clock rate is higher, the overall performance will also improve a lot.
↑ CrossMark, the higher the score, the better.
UL Procyon The office productivity benchmark test uses Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook to test the practical and real performance of Windows computers in daily work, and uses common paperwork to design test situations, from document opening, copying, input, and spreadsheet Calculation, sorting, exporting, adding files, image files, videos, and sending and receiving emails to presentations.
The 7900 scored 7784 points, the 7700 scored 7810 points, and the 7600 scored 7485 points. The paperwork performance difference is not obvious for general use, but CPUs with higher clocks also have higher scores.
↑ UL Procyon, the higher the score the better.
3DMark CPU performance and FS, TS benchmark test
Computer graphics game performance testing tool 3DMarkthe mainstream Direct X11 test Fire Strike and Direct X12 Time Spy test.
From the performance point of view, in the Fire Strike Physics project, it is the core, and the higher the clock speed, the higher the score, but the total score is relatively higher than that of 7700 and 7700X. It can be seen that the overall performance of DX11 has no advantage after more than 8 cores; as for DX12’s Time Spy results are relatively in line with expectations, that is, the CPU has little difference in game performance, but high-end CPUs can definitely have better performance.
↑ 3DMark, the higher the score, the better.
3DMark CPU The test mainly tests the physical operation and custom simulation of the CPU, and tests the performance of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and the maximum execution threads of the processor respectively, and the performance above 16 execution threads will belong to 3D rendering, Audio and video output will be used. Generally, Direct X12 games prefer 8T execution threads, while the following execution threads are the preferences of old games.
The performance of the processors in the 1T-4T test is quite close, but the performance gap begins to widen at 8T, and the processor performance above 7900 can be seen at 16T and above.
↑ 3DMark CPU, the higher the score, the better.
9+2 AAA e-sports games for processor performance test
9 AAA game performance tests, respectively the entry-level “F1® 22”, “Forza Horizon 5” racing game, the adventurous “Tomb Raider: Shadow”, “Horizon: Waiting for Dawn”, and the performance-heavy “Blue Blood” Wild Kill 2, Assassin’s Creed: Viking Era, and games such as “Polar Trench 6”, “Marvel Interstellar Attack Team” and “Device 2077” that support ray pursuit.
The tests were all performed on the In Game Benchmark test with 1080p resolution and the game’s highest default settings.
Among the 9 games, the 7900 achieved an average of 180.1 FPS, the 7700 achieved an average of 178.5 FPS, and the 7600 achieved an average of 174.3 FPS; the difference in game performance was only about 1%.
↑ The higher the average FPS of the 9 games, the better.
↑ Game test, the higher the average FPS, the better.
E-sports games focus on the tactical and technical competition between players and teams, so they don’t have high requirements for the image quality of the game. This also allows such games to have a fairly high average FPS performance on high-end CPUs and GPUs, especially in 1080p resolution. Under high speed, the improvement of CPU performance and clock can increase the FPS performance of the game.
The test uses two games, “Counter-Strike: Global Offensive” (CS:GO) and “Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Siege” (R6), and tests at 1080p resolution and the game’s highest settings.
CS:GO game 7900 reaches 753.85 FPS, 7700 is 749.22 FPS, 7600 has 742.26 FPS; R6 game 7900 reaches 736 FPS, 7700 is 655 FPS, 7600 has 646 FPS. For e-sports games, it can better reflect the performance gap of high CPU clock speed.
↑ E-sports game test, the higher the average FPS, the better.
Ryzen 7900, 7700, 7600 processor temperature and power consumption test
In terms of stress testing, Ryzen 7900, 7700, and 7600 all use original radiators, while X series uses 360mm AIO, fans and water pumps set at full speed to compare AIDA64 CPU and FPU burn-in respectively; for general computer use, the temperature is closer to the AIDA64 CPU test temperature performance, while the FPU test is the highest load and higher power consumption.
AIDA64 CPU stress test, 7900 is pressed at 61.9°C / 5.06GHz, 7700 is pressed at 69.5°C / 5.26GHz, 7600 is 82°C / 4.98GHz; then using FPU stress test, 7900 is pressed at 59.3°C / 3.66GHz , 7700 at 72.8°C / 4.44GHz, 7600 at 95°C / 4.39GHz
The Cinebench R23 stress test temperature is similar to that of the FPU test. It can be seen that the AMD Wraith Prism RGB cooler paired with the 7900 and 7700 does have a good heat dissipation capability, allowing the CPU to run at full basic Boost performance; but the Wraith Stealth cooler for the 7600 is not It seems a little insufficient.
Simply put, Ryzen 7900, 7700, and 7600 use the original radiator to meet the preset Boost performance requirements of the processor, but if you want to perform PBO overclocking, it is recommended to replace the tower fan or water-cooled radiator.
↑ CPU temperature test.
As for the CPU power consumption, it is mainly based on CPU Package Power. Under the AIDA64 CPU test, 7900 reaches 90.1W, 7700 reaches 79.6W, and 7600 only 69W; FPU test, 7900 also reaches 90.1W, 7700 also reaches 90.1W, and 7600 reaches 90.1W. Only 83.1W.
That is to say, Ryzen 7900, 7700 and 7600 have a maximum power consumption of about 90W by default, unless the player turns on PBO or manually overclocks to exceed the preset power consumption limit.
↑ CPU power consumption test.
Ryzen 7900, 7700, 7600 overclocking with water cooling and PBO
If players have enough budget for the installation, they can also replace Ryzen 7900, 7700 and 7600 with better radiators to unlock PBO overclocking and get better performance. In the test, after 7900 uses 360mm AIO water cooling to enable PBO overclocking, Cinebench R23 CPU The score can reach 29111 points, about 21% improvement.
But turning on PBO overclocking mainly significantly improves the multi-core performance. The difference between the overall performance of the computer and single-core is relatively small. After turning on PBO, the multi-core performance of 7700 is 5%, and that of 7600 is 4%. In other words, if you choose 7900 to turn it on The performance of PBO is indeed more cost-effective.
Players can easily enable the PBO overclocking function through BIOS or Ryzen Master, even the entry-level processor AMD still provides the possibility of CPU and DRAM overclocking.
↑ 360mm water cooling + PBO multi-core performance improvement.
↑ Ryzen Master PBO overclocking.
Summarize
The AMD Ryzen 7000 65W processor is updated, complementing 7900, 7700 and 7600 and other entry-level options, so that entry-level and mainstream installed players have a more cost-effective choice. The performance is slightly weaker than the X-series, but the original fan can satisfy Basic performance requirements, if you want to play PBO, manual overclocking, it is recommended to use a better air-cooled or water-cooled radiator.
As for the future, players can look forward to the Ryzen 7000X3D processor that will debut in February, which will accelerate game performance by stacking 3D Cache. Then we will see if AMD can regain the title of the strongest game processor.
