Productivity Functioning

Firing upwards Excel for some spreadsheet activeness we see that the 2600 took but 3.i seconds to complete the workload when stock, and just two.6 seconds one time overclocked. That means with both the 1600 and 2600 overclocked to the max the new 2nd gen model completed the workload 11% faster.

For compression and decompression work the 2600 is 11% faster than the 1600 which is a seriously impressive improvement. This puts it about on par with the Core i7-7800X, a CPU that costs almost twice as much.

The 2600 does trail the 7800X by a rather large margin for our HandBrake exam though in one case overclocked it does rapidly close in. Of form yous tin can overclock the 7800X and nosotros'll await at those results in a time to come video. Overall however a good event for AMD here as the 2600 easily beat the 7700K clocked at 5 GHz.

Running the Corona benchmark nosotros run into that out of the box the Ryzen 5 2600 and Core i7-7800X are comparable which over again bodes well for the significantly more affordable AMD CPU.

Moving on to the Blender results and here we meet that the 2600 needs to be clocked at iv.two GHz in lodge to crush the stock Core i7-7800X. Still information technology'south worth noting that earlier overclocking the 2600 information technology was still faster than the Core i7-7700K at 5 GHz, so in terms of value information technology's very impressive.

The V-Ray benchmark shows the stock Ryzen 5 2600 shaving 11% off the return time when compared to the R5 1600. In fact overclocked to the max the R5 1600 is only able to roughly match the stock 2600. Meanwhile overclocking the 2nd gen Ryzen CPU reduced the return fourth dimension by a farther 13%, allowing information technology to complete the test in just 89 seconds.

For content creators on a budget the Ryzen 5 2600 should exist a hot item as yous can attain 8600K similar functioning at a more affordable toll. Even at five.2 GHz the 8600K is just a fraction faster and at this frequency requires expensive cooling and a delid, though delight not our fleck hasn't been delided and therefore runs extremely hot.

Even when editing the 2600 is comparable to the higher clocked 8600K so it appears to take no bargain weakness and is considerably improve than the 1st gen Ryzen 5 1600 for these types of lightly threaded workloads.
