AMD this batch of four new Ryzen™ 5000 series processors including Ryzen™ 7 5800X3D, Ryzen™ 7 5700X, Ryzen™ 5 5600, Ryzen 5 5500, of which Ryzen 7 5800X3D We have made the first review, the addition of the new 3D V-Cache has greatly improved the gaming performance of this processor, it is currently the best CPU for AMD game performance.
The other three do not have this new technology, Ryzen™ 7 5700X and Ryzen 5 5600 are actually the low-frequency versions of Ryzen 7 5800X and Ryzen 5 5600X, Ryzen 5 5500 is relatively special, it is not further streamlined on the Ryzen 5 5600, but the product of the Ryzen 5 5600G shielded nuclear display, it uses the Cezanne core, not Vermeer. Because the Ryzen 3 5300G is only for the OEM field, so now the Ryzen 5 5500 is the lowest model in the entire Ryzen 5000 series, and it is also the cheapest one, only 1099 yuan, today we will test this Ryzen 5500.
Although the Ryzen 5500 looks like the Ryzen 5 5600 cut the L3 cache in half and then reduces the maximum acceleration frequency from 4.4GHz to 4.2GHz, it uses the Cezanne core, so this processor only supports PCI-E 3.0, which still has an impact on graphics cards that do not use PCI-E x16 and PCI-E 4.0 SSDs.
In addition, about the frequency of this processor, AMD officially marked that its maximum acceleration frequency is 4.2GHz, originally I thought this was the maximum acceleration frequency of a single core, but in fact this is the maximum acceleration frequency of the full core, plus FXR's 50MHz, the processor full core heavy load load can reach 4.25GHz.
Ryzen™ 5 5500 Processor
Ryzen™ 5 5500 is shipped with the original radiator, and there is a ghost Stealth in the box, in fact, for this processor with little heat generation, the original radiator is also enough.
Test platform with description
The price of the Ryzen 5 5500 is only 1099 yuan, the price and positioning of Intel is closer to the 11th generation of Core i5-11400F, we give the Ryzen 5 5500 with MSI MEG MAG B550 MORTAR WIFI motherboard, and the Core i5-11400F uses the Asus TUF GAMING B560M-PLUS WiFi motherboard, in order to avoid bottlenecks on the graphics card, using the Yingchi GeForce RTX 3090 Ti Xingyao OC graphics card, both sets of platforms use two 16GB Royal Halberd DDR4-3600 memory, the timing is CL16-19-19-39, because the heat generated by these two processors is not large, with the Kyushu Fengshen Ice Cube 400 this hundred yuan level wind power can be.
This time we also tested the performance of the Ryzen™ 5500 after turning on the PBO, but this processor simply let go of the processor power limit is useless, but also have to go to the automatic overclocking there +200MHz, otherwise there is no change at all.
Benchmark performance tests
Whether in the Sandra 2021 processor calculation or processor multimedia test, the integer and floating-point computing power is basically stronger than the Core i5-11400F, and the AVX-512 of the Core i5-11400F is effective in the processor multimedia test, but it is still inferior to the Ryzen 5500, and the Ryzen 5500 has a slight improvement in performance after turning on the PBO. However, since the frequency is only increased from 4.25GHz to 4.45GHz, the amplitude is limited.
SuperPi is a test that completely competes with the CPU frequency, it is a single-threaded test, the frequency of the Ryzen™ 5500 is not high, coupled with the memory latency of the Cezanne core, the gap between the Core i5-11400F and the Core i5-11400F is a bit large in this test.
wPrime tested the default state of the Ryzen™ 5500 or slightly lower than that of the Core i5-11400F, but the single-threaded performance was basically flat after turning on PBO, and the multi-threading was slightly faster.
7-zip uses the latest version of the built-in Benchmark test, compression class test Zen 3 architecture is already fast, Ryzen 5500 default state is much better than the Core i5-11400F.
3DMark's CPU Profile test, the default state of the Ryzen™ 5500 is actually stronger than the Core i5-11400F at 2, 4, 8 thread load, but the single thread lags behind the largest thread, and the maximum thread performance is equal after opening the PBO.
Creative ability test
x264 and x265 are two old open source encoders that are quite widely used, this time we used a new version of Benchmark, the Ryzen 5500 in these two tests performed much better than the Core i5-11400F.
Corona Renderers is a new high-performance photorealistic renderer that can be used in software such as 3DS Max and Maxon Cinema 4D, which is highly representative, and its standalone Benchmark is used here. Similarly, the default Ryzen 5 5500 is better than the Core i5-11400F here.
POV-Ray is a rendering software written by the Persistence OF Vision Development Development Development Development Team that uses ray tracing to draw three-dimensional images, whose main role is to use the processor to generate image frames with ray tracing effects, and the software has a built-in Benchmark program. The Ryzen™ 5500 is stronger than the Core i5-11400F in both single-threaded and multi-threaded tests.
V-Ray is a rendering software developed by professional renderer development company CHAOSGROUP, is the industry's most popular rendering engine, its kernel can be applied in 3Dmax, Maya, Sketchup, Rhino and other software, testing using the official Benchmark. The Ryzen 5 5500 is much better than the Core i5-11400F in this test.
Blender is an open source multi-platform lightweight all-round 3D animation software that provides a series of animated short film production solutions from modeling, sculpting, binding, particles, dynamics, animation, interaction, materials, rendering, audio processing, video editing and motion tracking, post-compositing, etc. Test using the latest official Benchmark tool, the Ryzen™ 55500 has better rendering capabilities than the Core i5-11400F in three test scenes.
CINEBench uses the engine of CINEMA 4D special effects software developed by MAXON for the film and television industry, which is widely used by studios and production companies around the world for 3D content creation, while CINEBench is often used to test the performance of objects in three-dimensional design, the difference between R20 and R23 is actually not large, the main difference is that the default test of R20 is only rendered once, while R23 is a minimum rendering of 10 minutes. The Ryzen™ 5 5500 is more multi-threaded by default than the Core i5-11400F, but the single-thread score is lower, and the single-thread score after opening the PBO is superior to the Core i5-11400F.
Game performance testing
In order to reflect the true performance of the CPU, the game test is all carried out at 1080p resolution, minimizing bottlenecks on the graphics card, but the picture quality is still the highest.
Whether it is a stand-alone game or an online game, Ryzen 5500 and Core i5-11400F are basically mutually winning and losing, some games are Ryzen 5500 perform better, some are Core i5-11400F better, but overall there is no essential difference, opening PBO will make the Ryzen 55500 game performance slightly improved, but not every game will change.
Temperature and power consumption testing
In terms of power testing, we use a dedicated device to directly measure the power supply of the CPU power supply interface on the motherboard, but also give the CPU Package power consumption data recorded by the software, although the main source of cpu power supply is the CPU power supply interface, but we also found that a small part is from the 24pin interface.
In addition, it must be noted that at present, we are measuring the input power of the CPU power supply interface on the motherboard, not the direct CPU power supply power, so in theory it should be slightly higher than the actual power supply power of the CPU, and it will change more because of the different motherboards, but this test data still has a high reference value, because the power supply is actually powering the motherboard rather than directly supplying power to the CPU, so for the choice of power supply, It is more practical to directly test the power supply of the CPU power supply interface.
Both the motherboard's temperature protection and power settings are maintained at default values.
When running the AIDA 64 FPU roaster test, the frequency of the Ryzen™ 5500 can reach 4.25GHz, that is, the maximum acceleration frequency can be maintained under high voltage, and the CPU Package power consumption is 77W. After opening the PBO, the frequency of the roaster increased to 4.32GHz, the power consumption increased to 88W, the frequency and power consumption increase were not large, the temperature increase was quite obvious, from 72 °C to 78 °C, Core i5-11400F in the test is only used AVX2 to keep the load consistent, but because it is an older process, the power consumption reached 141W.
Standby test is not complete desktop standby, but open HWinfo on the side of the monitoring, there is a very mild load, but this is actually closer to the standby state of daily use, at this time Ryzen 5500 standby power consumption of about 7 watts, temperature 32 ° C, standby power consumption is much lower than core i5-11400F.
Summary of the full text
CPU Mini Ladder List
We imported this test data into the CPU ladder list, it can be seen that the benchmark performance of the Ryzen 5500 is above the Core i5-11400F, and the game performance is basically the same as the two, the Ryzen 5 5500 has certain advantages in some online games, and the Ryzen 5 5500 has the advantage of power consumption, in addition, it can also open the PBO function to further improve its own performance, of course, if you want to get a larger increase, you still have to rely on manual overclocking, because after opening the PBO, the Ryzen 5 The frequency of 5500 is not very high.
Another advantage of Ryzen™ 5 5500 is its price, at present Intel does not have a 6-core processor at a price of 1,000 yuan, the price of 1099 yuan Ryzen 5 5500 integration card in the middle of the Core i5 and Core i3 price segment, this processor only supports PCI-E 3.0, you don't have to worry about B450 does not support PCI-E 4.0 problems, want to cheap motherboard then go directly to B450 on the B450, of course, want to get better expansion performance or take B550 motherboard better, We put out an installed configuration for your reference.
With the board factory successively released a new BIOS, the earliest AMD 300 series motherboard will also support the latest Ryzen™ 5000 series processors, if you are still using the Ryzen 1000/2000 series processor friends with a lower cost to upgrade the Ryzen 5 5500 is still very good, performance will be greatly improved, AMD for many years without changing the benefits of the interface is here.
