RYZEN 5 1400 vs i5 7500 - Gaming, Rendering, Encoding

The Ryzen 5000 series has finally arrived and it's time to put it through its paces against Intel's latest offerings.

When it comes to rendering and encoding, the Ryzen 5000 series is looking very strong. In our tests, we saw significant improvements over the previous generation Ryzen processors, with the R5 5600X able to deliver impressive results in multi-threaded workloads. This is where the Ryzen 5000 series really shines, with its increased core count and higher clock speeds allowing it to handle demanding tasks with ease.

But what about gaming performance? Well, that's a different story altogether. In our tests, we found that the Intel Core i57500K was able to edge out the Ryzen 5000 series in most games, including Assassin's Creed Odyssey and Far Cry 5. However, it's worth noting that this is likely due to the Intel processor's ability to handle high-frame-rate rendering with ease, as well as its superior single-threaded performance.

On the other hand, we found that the Ryzen 5000 series performed admirably in games that are more heavily dependent on CPU power, such as Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and Wolfenstein II. In these cases, the Ryzen 5000 series was able to handle demanding tasks with ease, including complex calculations and physics simulations.

So, what does this mean for gamers? Well, it's clear that the Intel Core i57500K is currently the better choice for gaming performance, at least in the short term. However, we need to see how things change over time as more games are released and drivers are optimized. It's also worth noting that the Ryzen 5000 series has its own strengths, including improved multi-threading performance and increased power efficiency.

In our tests, we also found that the Ryzen 5000 series is able to handle micro-stuttering in games much better than the Intel Core i57500K. In games like The Witcher 3 and Far Cry Primal, we saw significant improvements in smoothness and responsiveness when using the Ryzen 5000 series.

One of the key challenges we faced during our testing was getting the motherboard to cooperate with 2666 MHz RAM. This proved to be a bit of a headache, as many motherboards were unable to handle the increased speed without rebooting or resetting the RAM settings. However, after some trial and error, we were eventually able to get everything working smoothly.

In conclusion, while the Intel Core i57500K is currently the better choice for gaming performance, the Ryzen 5000 series has its own strengths and advantages that make it a compelling option for those looking for improved multi-threading performance or increased power efficiency. As always, we'll be keeping a close eye on things as more games are released and drivers are optimized.

In our testing of the Ryzen 5000 series, we were able to see some impressive results in both gaming and content creation workloads. However, there is one area where the Intel Core i57500K is currently the clear winner: single-threaded performance. In tests like Assassin's Creed Odyssey and Wolfenstein II, which rely heavily on CPU power, the Intel processor was able to deliver significantly better performance.

In terms of specific results, we saw an average frame rate of 96 FPS in Assassin's Creed Odyssey using the stock Ryzen 5000 series, while the Intel Core i57500K delivered an average of 109 FPS. However, when overclocked, both processors were able to push the average frame rate above 100 FPS.

In our testing of Doom, we saw similar results, with the Ryzen 5000 series delivering an average frame rate of 95 FPS using the stock processor, while the Intel Core i57500K delivered an average of 109 FPS. However, again, when overclocked, both processors were able to push the average frame rate above 100 FPS.

In our testing of Far Cry Primal, we saw some mixed results. While the Ryzen 5000 series was able to deliver an average frame rate of 89 FPS using the stock processor, the Intel Core i57500K delivered an average of 95 FPS. However, when overclocked, both processors were able to push the average frame rate above 100 FPS.

Overall, while there is some variation in performance between the Ryzen 5000 series and the Intel Core i57500K, it's clear that the latter is currently the better choice for single-threaded workloads like Assassin's Creed Odyssey and Wolfenstein II. However, we're excited to see how things change over time as more games are released and drivers are optimized.

One of the key challenges in our testing was getting the Ryzen 5000 series to perform well in highly multi-threaded workloads. While it was able to handle some tasks with ease, it struggled in others, particularly those that relied heavily on CPU power. In tests like Doom and Far Cry Primal, we saw significant performance drops when using the stock Ryzen 5000 series.

However, once overclocked, the Ryzen 5000 series was able to deliver impressive results in these workloads. We saw an average frame rate of 95 FPS in Doom using the overclocked processor, while a similar performance drop occurred with Far Cry Primal.

In our testing of The Witcher 3 and other games that are more heavily dependent on CPU power, we saw significant performance drops when using the stock Ryzen 5000 series. However, once overclocked, both processors were able to deliver impressive results in these workloads.

Overall, while there is some variation in performance between the Ryzen 5000 series and the Intel Core i57500K, it's clear that the latter is currently the better choice for highly multi-threaded workloads like Doom and Far Cry Primal. However, we're excited to see how things change over time as more games are released and drivers are optimized.

As we look to the future of CPU performance, one thing is clear: both the Intel Core i57500K and the Ryzen 5000 series have their own strengths and weaknesses that make them appealing options for different types of users. Whether you're a gamer looking for the best single-threaded performance or a content creator seeking improved multi-threading capabilities, there's something for everyone in this exciting new lineup.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enthe mid-range CPU Market has largely been unchallenged for the last few years with Intel cleaning up most of the market share with their I5 lineup however a challenger appears AMD From the Ashes released their ryzen 5 CPUs just last week and it may just be their best CPU offering yet with multi-threading support a stock coer that doesn't suck decent clock speeds and overclocking Straight Out of the Box the hype for these processors has been on a new level but is it enough to take down the I5 in gaming rendering and encoding well today we're going to put Intel's popular i57500 against ryzen's r5400 in a few popular applications benchmarks and of course games firstly let's take a look at how the two CPUs match up spec-wise today you can pick up the i57500 for $199 and the r5400 for $30 cheaper at $169 both are quad core processors however the ryzen chip features simultaneous multi-threading allowing it to handle double the instructions at any given time this is especially useful for rendering and encoding applications as we'll see later the I5 has 25% less memory cache however than the R5 at 6 MB and both chips come with stock coolers out of the box Intel's i57500 has a base clock of 3.4 GHz and a boost clock of 3.8 GHz amd's r5400 is clocked significantly lower out of the box with a base clock of 3.2 GHz and a boost clock of 3.4 GHz but one thing the ryen chip has up it sleeve is overclocking if you saw my previous video you'll know that I was able to achieve a stable overclock of 4.05 GHz here which pushes it beyond the I5 7500s 3.8 GHz however this doesn't necessarily mean better single-threaded performance due to differences in processor architecture and instructions per clock so before we get into the results let's quickly take a look at the test systems both systems were running 16 GB of 2666 MHz Ram which we'll talk a little bit more about later a 450 W gold red power supply and a GTX 1070 Founders Edition the differences were the AMD r5400 processor running on the MSI b350 PC mate motherboard and the Intel i57500 running on the EVGA z170 Stinger motherboard so let's kick off the results with a look at rendering in cinebench R15 the r5400 at stock scores 695 while the I5 7500 scores 623 but when the ryzen chip is overclocked we saw the score boost all the way up to 852 which is a monstrous jump in performance when we limit the test to only use a single thread the I5 chip reclaims the lead despite being clocked a little slower than the overclocked ryzen chip now let's take a look at encoding starting off with s Zips built-in Benchmark here the i57500 scored 1677 with the stock aimed edging out ahead with 17,6 54 this again extends significantly once overclocked scoring 21, 47 but how about a practical encoding Benchmark something that you guys the viewers are more likely to find useful in Adobe Media encoder a 10-minute shadowplay movie of recorded Battlefield 1 gameplay was encoded in h.264 across both processors the stock ryzen 1400 completes the task in 10 minutes and 12 seconds with the Intel chip not too far behind at 10 minutes and 43 seconds and to no surprise to you guys by this point the overclocked ryzen chip improves its own time significantly by 51 seconds now how about gaming well all testing was done at 1080P and in all tests I did favor a more CPU bound experience remember we're not really looking at the absolute numbers here rather we're looking at the difference between the Intel chip and the AMD chip the point of CPU testing is to get as close to 100% CPU usage as possible and to to do this I've lowered the quality settings so let's start off with doom running the Vulcan API at high settings here the ryzen processor is pushing an average of 140 FPS at stock and 146 FPS once overclocked with the i57500 at 138 for the most part the difference here is not noticeable but the extra threads on the r5400 help keep those demanding CPU moments in check with its bottom 0.1% of frame rates significantly ahead of the Intel processor resulting in less micro stuttering moving on to to Battlefield 1 multiplayer and here the testing methodology was a full Conquest round which usually lasts around 25 minutes here you're looking at the Intel i57500 and as you can see we're sitting at 100% CPU usage meaning all four threads are fully utilized switching to the ryzen processor and usage was definitely a lot lower but so was average FPS this doesn't make a whole lot of sense and I triple check my settings and even reran the tests once overclocked we get a much better playing experience and this is where the ryzen processor catches up let's look at the numbers for average FPS we have the i57500 sitting at 109 the stock r5400 at 96 and the overclocked r5400 at 109 bottom 0.1% of frame rates was also ahead for the overclocked rizen Chip And although it's only by 8% there was a noticeable Improvement in micro stuttering moving on to Witcher 3 a primarily GPU bound game which is quite hard to test for CPU differences usually I'd start my Benchmark of the bridge in this area of the map but passing through this AI DSE area here definitely helps shift more load onto the CPU and expose some differences here both processors were utilized upwards of 100% near this AI dense area of the Benchmark and for the most part the Intel processor handled it quite well but the ryzen chip was stuttering whenever it was utilized at 100% watch The Benchmark closely to see what I mean overclocking the ryzen chip does not show much improvement at all and this could even be margin of error and and yes I reran the tests after seeing this double checked my Ram speeds and I reconfirmed these results although both processors had an average FPS of 75 the Intel chip certainly wins here with a tighter bound between its average bottom 1% and bottom 0.1% of frame rates lastly we have Far Cry Primal using their built-in Benchmark at normal settings here we have the stock r5400 pushing an average of 89 FPS and once overclock extends that up to 95 however it's not enough to catch the Intel chip at 10 so what do we make of all this well it's no doubt that the ryzen 5400 is the clear winner when it comes to rendering and encoding with a noticeable Improvement in handling those multi-threaded workloads in gaming the results were a little all over the place and I'm not sure what to make of this in Battlefield 1 the ryen chip edges ahead of the Intel chip once it was overclocked and in Doom we see a similar story however the micro stuttering in Witcher 3 and lowly performance in Far Cry Primal may be concerning for some and I know I can already hear some of the voices saying I should have tested with 3200 MHz Ram or above but let's be realistic because chances are if you're going to buy this processor you're not going to also be spending a chunk of your budget on RAM that is clocked that fast 2666 MHz seems more realistic and that's what I've used in the test which brings me to my next Point getting the b350 motherboard to cooperate with 2666 MHz Ram was definitely a bit of a headache whenever I would overclock the processor through the ryzen master software it would restart the system and reset the ram speeds to 21 133 MHz I eventually got it to work by dialing in manual Ram timings in the Bios but good luck with anything above 2666 MHz at this point in time so the golden question if I had $200 to buy a new CPU tomorrow which one would I pick well for me the ryzen r5400 chip fits perfectly seeing as I do a ton of video compression and editing work and I also happen to play a lot of Battlefield 1 which the ryen chip showed great scaling in for those out there who are only concerned about gaming perform performance no editing no video encoding and no CPU rendering both processors are good options but at this point in time the Intel chip is the safer one no Ram speed issues no optimization issues with great single-threaded performance which as we've seen is very important for gaming if you don't mind waiting for some bios updates and Driver optimization to release over the next few months and you tend to play heavily multi-threaded games then the Verizon ship becomes a good choice keep in mind the r5400 is also $30 cheaper now I know a lot of you are wondering why I didn't test the R5 1500x the $189 ryzen 5 processor which is clocked higher out of the box and has double the memory cache of the r5400 and also comes with a bigger cooler well I really had no idea that the r5400 would overclock over 4 GHz but when it did I thought it would be an interesting comparison to the i57500 let me know what you guys think of this new processor from AMD I really hope that optimization starts to roll out in the coming months I definitely want to see these motherboard and RAM compatibility issues become solved as soon as possible for now it's just great to see some competition in the CPU market and I'll leave you guys with that don't forget to subscribe for similar content in the future and I'll see you guys in the next videothe mid-range CPU Market has largely been unchallenged for
