what's up guys welcome back hope you're all doing well if you happen to be watching this video on the day of upload AMD's risin 5 stack of desktop processors based on the news and architecture is now here for the taking hitting store shelves and select retailers around the globe the 4 chips in the our 5 line up trail behind the existing Rison 7 family in both performance and price making them a direct competitor to Intel's Core i5 caddy leg processors giving mainstream gamers and content creators a wider range of options for the first time in years today we'll be focusing on two of the our 5 SKUs that were sent over by AMD the 1600 X and 1500 X which are priced to directly compete with Intel's Core i5 7600 K and 7500 respectively assuming I can get my hands on them let me know in the comments if you'd like to see content pieces on the remaining r5 skews the 1600 and 1400 like Rison 7 r5 fits the a m4 socket and supports SMT for improved performance in multi-threaded applications over Intel's Core i5 SKUs which do not support hyper threading the 1600 export 6 cores and 12 threads which look intimidating next to the 7600 K a base clock of 3.6 gigahertz with exif our single core boost to 4.0 gigahertz and a 95 watt TDP the 1500 X is 4 cores and 8 threads offer a slight bump over the 7500 while shipping with a 3.5 gigahertz base frequency and single core turbo 23.7 with the TDP of only 65 watts the 1500 X gets bundled with AMD's rates aspire which is a great value add that can save users a chunk of change on an aftermarket cooler you can check out my full review of the Wraith spire for more info while the pricing from both camps is competitive it's worth noting that Rison v also benefits from its overclocking support on Cheaper be 350 and X 300 boards allowing users to harness more power out of their chips for less money compared to Intel speaking of overclocking all four CPUs were manually tweaked for today's tests as you can see here the 1600 X was able to hit four point one gigahertz whereas the 1500 X pulled off a 4.0 gigahertz OC without having to increase voltages it appears having fewer cores than the eight core r7 1700 has helped Verizon 5 hit higher frequencies as we saw the 1700 struggle to stir 3.9 gigahertz unless of course you struck the silicon lottery a 16 gig of g.skill tried @z ddr4 3200 was paired with all SKUs as this was the fastest ddr4 kid I had on hand though I could not get the memory stable above 3000 megahertz when using the 1500 X so we may have to wait for a BIOS update before we can retest the chip and memory at its rated speed fortunately with a bit of tweaking the 1600 X had no problems taking the 3200 megahertz frequency with the kids default settings of 14 14 14 14 34 diving into thermals all SKUs were fitted with air coolers operating at 100% fan speed not too as Nhu 12s accompanied our risin 5 CPUs while the cooler master hyper 212 turbo assisted our cabling contenders having identical cooler so we could make direct thermal comparisons would have been ideal but I don't currently have an appropriate cooler for this test with 1151 and a m4 brackets so I'm sorry this is the best I could do for now Intel temperatures were tracked with hardware monitor and AMD temps were recorded using the latest version of Verizon master it's important to note here that this updated version of the software now displays accurate temperatures for all existing rising SKUs as opposed to earlier versions reporting that 20 degrees Celsius offset 495 watt parts in particular which was quite misleading when running GTA 5 with the aforementioned overclocks and an ambient of 25 degrees Celsius the 1600 X hovered in the high 50s and low 60s staying significantly cooler than the 7600 K which at one point hit 80 degrees Celsius our 1500 X rarely saw temperatures go above 60 C staying mostly in the 50s and the 7500 performs similarly if not coming into the low 60s a tad more often overall I found the rising v thermals to be very reasonable and without 1600 X running around 20 degrees cooler than the 7600 K users won't have to invest quite as much money into a third-party aftermarket cooler to keep their chip under control now here's a full look at the testing hardware in an effort to not bottleneck our CPUs much I decided to test both platforms with the gtx 1070 boundaries Edition running stock version 3 78.92 was the latest wickel driver when I began my rise in 5 testing but it's worth noting that version 3 81.6 5 has since become available I should also mention that at the time filming we are using the latest Windows updates and BIOS version zero five one five all games were tested in 1920 by 1080 since it's more likely to create a CPU limited environment though I've also added 2560 by 1440 as it's an increasingly popular resolution for gamers purchasing CPUs within this price range so moving forward with our first set of data in Cinebench r15 which measures single and multi-threaded CPU performance the 1600 x dominates the multi-threaded test unsurprisingly with thirteen hundred and eighty-two marks the 1500 X being runner-up with 903 in the single-threaded run however the 7600 K carries a 28% lead over the 1600 X with a score of 214 this also comes as no surprise as Rison 7 has already shown us kb lake single core advantage over Xen there may be an exception to this rule at the lower end though as here the 7500 and 1500 X yield identical single core performance in 3d mark firestrike extreme we see rising 5 beating out both of the respective Intel competitors in the overall score with a smaller lead for Intel in the graphics department perhaps indicating the gtx 1070 is being slightly more bottlenecked by our rising chips in ashes of the singularity at 1080p the 7600 K takes a 9% lead in average frame rates over the 1600 X with comparable 1% in point one percent lows similarly the 7500 achieved an eight percent higher average FPS than the 1500 X however our four core rise in five chip delivers favorable lows at 1440p we see the game become more GPU bound closing the performance gap a bit 7600 K yields a 6.5 percent higher average frame rate than the 1600 X whereas the 1500 X and 7500 keep neck and neck until factoring in the 7500 spore frame time performance indicating a much happier experience than its competitor in battlefield 1 at 1080p the 7600 K scores an average FPS 5 percent higher than the 1600 X again with similar lows while the 7500 takes a 2.5% lead on average but trails behind the 1500 X in 1% lows also notice how the cheaper 7500 beats out the 1600 X in average FPS albeit with slower frame times cranked it up 2 quad HD and we see 2 to 3% leads from Intel and average frame rates slightly higher frame time performance from AMD Rison five takes a sizeable backseat in doom at 1080p with the 7600 K scoring 11 percent higher averages than the six core rising ship and the 7500 averaging 16 percent better than the 1500 X this time the 7,500 edges out the 1600 X by a wide margin rise in frame x also took a dive with up to a 31% deficit compared to KB Lake naturally the higher resolution levels the playing field at 1440p risin comes within 3 percent of the core i5s average FPS with lows performing between 4 and 11 percent slower once again we see intel leading this time in GTA 5 at 1080p with average frame rates the 1600 X falls behind the 7600 K by 13 percent while the 1500 X trails the 7500 by 18 percent at 1440p intel leads by a slight margin across the board with all SKUs averaging over 60 fps in hitman at 1080p the 7600 K delivers 8% more frames on average then its competitor while the 7500 sees an increase of roughly 5% our unlocked core i5 takes a victory point for slightly higher 1% in point one percent lows as well the 1600 X and 7500 practically mirror performance at 1440p and the 7600 K takes the lead in average fps and frame times as we might expect by now in Metro last light at 1080p the 7600 K offers 5% more performance than the 1600 X when it comes to average frame rates but tanks with its 0.1% lows as does the 7500 and this is also the only measurable difference between the 7500 and 1500 X the trend of poor KD like 0.1% lows continues at 1440p with similar 1% performance across the board and marginal gains over Aizen in average FPS our last game is watchdogs 2 and at 1080p we see a fairly tight performance gap between SKUs likely due to our gtx 1070 being limited in this GPU intensive title still the intel gang pulls ahead by around 4 to 6 percent on average but shares similar lows with Rison finally in 1440p we see identical performance across all chips as the game becomes even more GPU bound now averaging all the data from our 7 gaming benchmarks we can see here that at 1080p the 7600 ko for 6% higher average FPS than the 1600 X with slightly faster 1% 10.1% lows well it's by a small margin this makes the unlocked i-5 the faster gaming chip while offering more value as it is $10 cheaper than the 1600 X for users only interested in gaming the data points to the 7600 K being the higher performing option but gamers who perform tasks such as live-streaming or video editing should strongly consider the 1600 X for its extra cores and threads that put the i-5 to shame in multi-threaded workloads if you purchase the 1600 X the gains in heavily threaded tasks will be great and the sacrifice in gaming performance will be slight you know unless you're playing do more GTA 5 then get rekt another consideration here is the 7500 since it matches the performance of the 1600 X on average but costs 20% less if you only care about gaming and are using a gtx 1070 or slower at 1080p the 7500 can be a great value over the 1600 X and the 7600 K based on these results when compared to the 1500 X the 7500 rendered 8% more frames on average but comes in at a $10 premium still the 7500 is the wiser choice for a gaming audience unless those users also happen to be content creators in some form who can benefit from the extra threads on the 1500 X but will have to do more multi-threaded testing on that in the future I will say it is nice to see that the 1600 X is outperforming the 1500 X by a good seven to eight percent it would have been a real disappointment had we encountered another situation like we did with the r7 1700 essentially making the 1,800 X obsolete through overclocking although to be fair in this case we are dealing with a different core and thread count between the chips again averaging all the data KB Lake still takes the lead at 1440p but only by 5% for the 7600 K and 3% for the 7500 over their respective competitors in average frame rates 1% and point one percent lows are nearly identical between all SKUs for users gaming at 1440p this narrow performance gap makes a stronger case for Rison 5 especially since greater core and thread optimizations seem to be where the industry is headed in closing KB Lake is still the crown holder when it comes to peer gaming performance but risin 5 isn't far behind and will hopefully only improve as more developers optimize their games from the Zen architecture not to mention risin is still the more versatile and affordable option for those branching outside the realm of gaming but that's all I've got for now guys feel free to share your thoughts on rising 5 so far in the comments I'm very curious to hear them blow it up down below and don't forget to toss me a look on this video if you enjoyed it it helps me very much as always thank you guys so much for watching subscribe to the channel if you haven't already and I'll see you in the next video
