Cinebench, Geekbench and CPUZ benchmarks:
Let’s start with an essential processor benchmark, the Cinebench series. We chose Cinebench R15, the R20 version, which is also more and more used and finally Cinebench R23, the latest one. The scores will be given in Single core and Multi core. This means that the benchmark tests the performance on one of the processor’s cores and then on all the available cores.
To do this, we will use Benchmate which has just been updated to version 10.12.2 and can be downloaded here. The advantage of Benchmate is that it already contains a whole series of benchmarks and moreover, it is recognized and certified when you want to encode your results on the Hwbot site.
As a reminder, before you start reading these results, make sure you take a look at the previous page to understand the operating frequencies of these non-X Ryzen.
Cinebench R15 Single Core and Multi Core:
This benchmark is used by overclockers to compare the performance of processors. It also allows you to judge the optimizations of your OS as well as your memory kit by setting a frequency and trying to score a maximum of points. Even if it is a little less used today with the arrival of R20 and R23, it remains a reference to compare CPUs between them since it is one of the first benchmarks used by the community.
We were expecting an improvement in single thread performance with the Ryzen 7000 and we have to admit that it is indeed the case. Our non-X Ryzen shows a very good performance against the Raptor Lake processors and of course against the previous generation of Ryzen 5000.
In multi-threaded mode, the results are slightly different and this is logical. It is mainly the total number of cores that will determine the score as well as the frequency of these cores. Our non-X Ryzen 7000s are logically behind their X counterparts but ahead of the previous generation of Ryzen 5000s.
Cinebench R20 Single Core and Multi Core:
Cinebench R20 offers similar tests to the R15 version with SingleThread and MultiThread. Freshly landed in March 2019, it offers a more complex benchmark than the R15 version which had become a bit too easy for CPUs with many cores. Cinebench R20 requires eight times more computing power than the R15 version, and four times more memory. It can already be more like a stress benchmark since it forces your CPU to be stable for the duration of the bench.
Our non-X Ryzen 7000s still manage to hold their own against the Raptor Lakes.
In multi-core, it is the number of cores that speaks once again. We are on a graph that looks like the one of Cinebench R15. Note that it is the Raptor Lake i9-13900K that dominates this graph by a short head over the Ryzen 9 7950X.
Cinebench R23 Single Core and Multi Core :
How does this new version differ from the previous ones? First of all, it is more realistic when it comes to the score obtained depending on the processor used. As a reminder, Cinebench only tests the capabilities of your processor in single-thread or multi-thread. But the main difference is to propose a benchmark which by default will last 10 minutes! The idea for MAXON with Cinebench R23 is to propose a benchmark that will allow a certain stability in terms of temperature and boost frequencies. We will test here the fast version.
The Cinebench are similar, even if this one is more in favor of the 13th generation Intel processors. The non-X Ryzen 7000s are once again the best, leaving the 5000 versions and even the 5950X, the flagship of the previous generation, far behind.
In multiplayer, the profile of the graphics remains unchanged, with scores that are once again convincing and just behind the Ryzen 7000X.
Geekbench 3.4.4 Single Core and Multi Core:
This is a benchmark available in several revisions, version 5 is more and more used in recent months and is often used for CPU performance leaks. It allows to obtain two scores: one in single core and the other in multi core. The version used for the tests is 3.4.4 and 5.2.5. Attention, in order to take full advantage of these two benchmarks, a license is required and we perform the bench in 64-bit.
The trend we have noticed in Cinebench is confirmed in Geek Bench 3 with still excellent single thread performance for our three non-X Ryzen 7000 processors.
Nothing to report in the multi-core version where the ranking is repeated once again. The Raptor Lake processors manage to make the difference thanks to their E-cores.
GeekBench 5.2.5 Single Core and Multi Core:
The latest version of the GeekBench software, it is increasingly widespread and used by journalists. It allows, like the version above, to do memory and processor performance tests. We decided to add this additional benchmark but why? The CPU benchmark uses new tests that more closely simulate the tasks that processors face with recent applications. Geekbench 5 also increases the memory used in the benchmark to better reflect the impact of this parameter on the CPU results.
Doesn’t this sound like déjà vu? Well, yes, we can agree on the excellent performance of Ryzen in single coretasks.
In multi-threaded tasks, our non-X Ryzen 7000s perform less well than the X versions due to lower frequencies across all cores, but leave the previous generation far behind.
CPU-Z 17.01.64 Benchmark in Single Thread and Multi Thread:
A new benchmark that we have just added, as it is increasingly used by brands in order to bring forward the performance of the processor. To use it, nothing could be easier, just download the latest version of CPU-Z which is currently version 2.0.2. Then go to the “Bench” tab to check the performance in single and multi thread. The version of the benchmark that we used is 17.01.64.
Ah, finally a tighter gap and one that gives the advantage to 13th and 12th generation Intel processors. In this benchmark, the domination of Ryzen 7000 is no longer effective.
Finally, we find a table that respects the number of cores and the most recent generations of processors. This first series of tests allows us to confirm all the good things we expected from these Ryzen 7000 non-X!
