CPU Benchmarks
Ashes of the Singularity
The 1600X does a pretty good job here, still behind some of the Intel offerings, but it’s beating out the 1700X at stock, which indicates the improvements to Ryzen hardware support since the R7 launch.
Cinebench R15
An impressive score for the R5 1600X, beating out the Intel 7700K at both stock and overclocked values; the two extra cores really do help!
Handbrake
Handbrake was certainly better suited to the R7 series, but the R5 still puts up some good figures for what’s basically an affordable gaming chip.
WPrime
That 6-core design pulling its weight again, beating out the overclocked 7700K by a staggering 20 seconds in WPrime!
