AMD Ryzen 5 1600 Processor Review

Power Consumption & Temperatures
Power consumption for a system is of course very important. To measure power consumption I read the CPU Package reading in AIDA64. The idle test is taken on the Windows 10 desktop and the load test is taken while running the AIDA64 system stability test.

For temperatures I did the exact same test, but took the CPU temperature from AIDA64.

  1. So, you say the Ryzen is lacking in game performance, but the FPS difference between the it and the i5 was never more than 5fps in your testing. If you had left DX12 enabled, it would have performed better than the i5 in Division. You gave it praise, but it seems like you were doing your best to show it as not being as good as the Intel chips, even though the FPS differences would not be noticeable day to day. Now, if you were giving more data, like minimum frames, etc, it might make your exaggerated graphs seem less biased.

  2. DX12 was enabled in The Division tests. And if you look at the results the Ryzen chips do fall behind in all gaming tests, to Intel chips that are two generations old, even its ~5 FPS its a common theme among our tests and tests we’ve seen from others. No bias just straight results from our tests

  3. That’s all cool, but where are overclocked gaming results? Biggest advantage of this cpu in particular is that it’s unlocked, right? Even with wraith cooler this cpu can be oc-ed to at least 3.8ghz on an average b350 motherboard. This cpu gives great bang for buck, better than all intel chips besides coffe lake and 7700k.

  4. Ridiculous graphs for the gaming benchmarks…showing a zoomed in look at the end of the bars, rather than the whole bar. Gives the illusion that the Intels are much faster when really they are only a teeny tiny bit faster. Just to echo the previous comments below.
