hey everyone Greg here with science studio and yes I finally have it I have the i-5 first I three match up they have all been asking me about I have the benchmarks ready to go they're in this video and yeah so let's get through the test bench real quick and then we'll dive right into those results because I know you really want to know which ones better I mean come on we know which ones better but how much better is the i-5 over the i3 so the cool thing about comparing to Intel sixth generation skylake processors is it get to use the exact same test bench for both it was literally as easy as you know pulling the processor out of one and replacing it with the other so it's not going to this war using ddr3 over here or over here you know different different motherboards you know different frequencies I got a lot of that in the i3 6100 vs. FX 6300 if you haven't seen the video already go and click the link here but basically people were complaining that I didn't have similar parts to compare with I thought it was unfair you know come on I can't get it I can't get it perfect I don't have the resources to get it perfect now I honestly don't even think it is possible to get it perfect because they are such different platforms once so much older than the other so in this case there won't be any of that everything we've used in the test bench is exactly the same save the cpu so we actually use that thing right there for the test bench only we took out that gtx 960 in there and replaced it with the Sapphire Radeon r9 380 for gigabyte graphics card that was used in the I 360 101st FX 6300 video just you know for consistency sake we wanted to see if the i3 would perform similarly to the time that it did in the other video and it did the i3 was very consistent in its results so the other parts that we've used are one the azrog z170 pro for LGA 1151 ATX motherboard we have eight gigabytes of PNY anarchie ddr4 we have a kingston 122 byte solid state drive so this is just for our boot drive so that everything would be nice and snappy we have a Western Digital 320 gigabyte hard disk drive just for general storage this is where all the games are located and then we also have an EVGA 430 watt 80 plus power supply powering everything so that's a test bench probably don't care much about that but just know that everything is gonna be super consistent okay so let's get into the test that we ran well if you saw the last video they are exactly the same so you can go ahead and skip this part if you want go ahead a click here go and skip head to the actual benchmarks but if you haven't seen our last video I will run through each of these tests with you the first of the three CPU intensive tests is Cinebench r15 various threads of a CPU are going to be used to render an image and it will basically distress the ability for that CPU to run those multiple tasks simultaneously so that will be an interesting test for sure between the IMEI five who both share the same number of threads we have Geekbench 3 which is going to be next deep bench 3 it's just just going to be the 32 gigabyte free software that anyone can pick up for free so there's a link to that in description if you want just click on that download it see for yourself what your cpu power and performance is like now we will test single core and multi-core performance of both CPUs and then the third and final I guess CPU intensive test is going to be Adobe Premiere Pro so what we've done is we take in a one-minute video file and then we're going to be rendering it through both platforms through both the i3 in the i5 platform and the lowest score will win so whichever processor can render that one-minute video file using the same preset the fastest will win that benchmark test thing and then the three games we've chosen are dying light Grand Theft Auto 5 and dota 2 nothing fancy but we did kind of want to spread the spectrum out a bit so dying lights a bit different than GTA at least in terms of how you know powers allocated and what's being used when and then dota 2 is just for those people that don't play either dying light or GTA and just want to see how World of Warcraft or dota 2 will perform on a computer like this so the results for the first three tests first up is 7jh r15 and Wow so the i3 scored 431 which I believe was only about four points off from the first time that we scored it at 435 so very impressive so the after he's very consistent there but the i5 being that it does have two more physical cores scored 673 so a pretty substantial increase in performance there I would say that's probably about a 60% increase all around that's pretty good so even though both the i3 and i-5 share the same number of threads Cinebench r15 likes it's actual physical course on the Geekbench 32-bit so single core performance for both of these CPUs was identical uh practically the i3 score at a forty fifty one and the i-5 scored a forty thirty three so the i3 did edged up a bit of a victory but they're they're practically the same for all intents and purposes now this should make sense though because they're both based on the exact same 40 nanometers Gothic architecture so if you're just going to be stressing one core in both CPUs and those cores happen to be identical in both you should get pretty close to the exact same score and Geekbench 3 definitely proved that now in the multi-core side of things the i-5 definitely edged out a lead scoring 1353 versus 80 801 the 801 was actually very consistent to its previous score for the i3 so that's good too good to know I guess it's not really surprising that they're getting exactly the same scores but that's definitely I guess reassuring but the i-5 definitely took the cake in this case now I don't want to take away from the i3 performance the i3 does wonders with hyper-threading so if you're considering an i3 or the new Pentium skylight processor I would go I three four threads is definitely definitely better than two threads so off from Geekbench 3 and onto the Adobe Premiere Pro test this one of the three CPU intensive tests definitely surprised me the most the core i5 rendered the video file in practically half the time it took the core i3 about a minute and 26 seconds this video was a different video a different one minute file from the previous video I actually did it on purpose because I wanted to see if the actual content of the video affected the render speed and it did to an extent I mean it only tacked on I think 4 or 5 seconds for the i3 score but I mean regardless the i5 just absolutely demolished the i3 I believe that Adobe Premiere Pro should have seen that both processors have four threads and probably couldn't tell the difference between the i3 and the i-5 in terms of which was which so it may have just assumed that both cry 5s but the i-5 who 47.7 seconds less than one minute per minute of video clip to render so a ten minute video file is going to take you about five minutes whereas for the i3 for a ten minute video file is going to take you about 15 minutes so I thought the i3 performance was great but wow there is a huge difference between the i3 in the i-5 for this test that's very surprising so if you're a video editor definitely consider the i-5 of the i3 now on to the stuff that I know you guys actually care about the video games first up on that list is dying light now dying light I presumed in the last video was mainly a GPU intensive game so I didn't really think that CPU performance had much of an impact on how many frames per second that you received in that game but from this test here I think I was mistaken because the i-5 definitely made a difference you can see that on our average FPS rate at least 63 verse 50 is that that's 13 fps that's quite a difference and the max FPS got all the way up to 98 on the i-5 whereas it only touched about 64 on the i3 so I think what happened in the last video if you saw that one with the FX 6300 I think that the six cores of the FX 6300 really made a difference for dying light that is a bit of a game changer for me I did not expect that from dying light but the i-5 definitely won so you know it's really no surprise there now on a GTA 5 of the three games that we tested GTA 5 shocked me the most GTA 5 is a very CPU intensive game as you know so that over and over and over again the CPU you have in your system will make a phenomenal difference on the frame rates that you'll see in GTA 5 but wow I did not expect this big of a difference literally double the average FPS rate that was insane I don't honestly I don't really know how to explain it I they both have four threads that's really all I can say they both have four threads and I know that the eff is supposed to win because it actually has four physical cores but I did not expect it to make it that big of a difference and I'm pretty sure GTA 5 sees the i3 as a four threaded processor I don't think just sees two cores in two threads I'm pretty sure it takes advantage of all four so I really don't know what to make of this both CPUs o'clock at the exact same frequency - honestly this is kind of confusing to me this one definitely shocked me the i3 was consistent from the last set of results that we got from our previous video so it's nothing on the i3 side and vsync was off of course I really don't know what else could have caused this much of a difference the presets were all the same but Wow so I guess what you can take away from this is well if you like to play GTA 5 a lot you better get a really good processor if you want to see like phenomenal superb frame rates that's really all I can say about that don't go with an i3 if you like GTA 5 unless you're okay with 60fps in which case it really doesn't matter so on from that - I'm still surprised that's such a big difference in GTA 4 dota 2 1080p max everything out turn everything on I realize that there's a FPS cap on dota 2 I didn't feel like doing the weird editing and stuff - you know eliminate that cap but basically you can only get 120 FPS from dota 2 it's just limited that way so I guess this test is probably the most flawed because we really couldn't see how much better the i-5 did over the i3 and I honestly didn't realize that in the last video so the last videos results are probably skewed as well I will make it out of that in that video you can see that the i-5 practically maxed out at 120 the entire time whereas the i3 yeah we can say that the 119 is probably 120 I think that the cap had something to do with that as well the i3 was pretty much it was borderline it was close now the minimum is definitely dropped significantly more for the i3 you know when things got intense and everyone was throwing weird spells at each other I would say that if you're just a dota 2 World of Warcraft player you know something like that for going the i-5 and getting the i3 or even getting something like an FX 6300 not really going to be a problem there so it really just depends on pressure it depends on what kind of games you like to play and what kind of frame rates you would like to play those games at so that's really it that's really all I've got the most surprising results were of course granted out of five and the Adobe Premiere Pro rendering times for the i-5 compared to the i3 now the i3 is a phenomenal processor it really is a great budget processor and I think that if I had to do it all over again you know if I was really on a budget I would still probably go with the i3 just because most of the games that I like to play were playable at 60 or 70 FPS with the i3 but if you're a hardcore gamer or you render a lot of videos or you really want to see those extra frames per second on that 144 Hertz crazy gaming monitor that you have going with a processor that has more physical cores it definitely makes a difference in every part of your PC life but in particular intensive games and video editing and rendering most people are going to want to do more than just watch videos on their computers so at least an i3 at least and I at least an FX 6300 if you want to go AMD something like that an Athlon quad-core Athlon to process or something like that don't forego the additional threads it makes a huge difference and if you're very picky and very particular and like to do a lot of heavy editing and hardcore stuff on your computer then definitely definitely more cores is better at least that's what I've taken away from the benchmarks that we received from this video so that's about it everyone if you liked the video give us a thumbs up let us know that you really like this video I know you've been waiting at a long time so I'm
