AMD Ryzen 5 7600X Review

Super PI 2.1 WP

Super PI is a single-threaded benchmark that calculates pi to a specific number of digits. It uses the Gauss-Legendre algorithm and is a Windows port of a program used by Yasumasa Kanada in 1995 to compute pi to 232 digits

Available now on Super PI.

Starting things off with Super PI and straight away, we can see that the 7600X in comparison to its predecessor, the 5600X has seen just over a minute shaved off of the total calculation time. Compared to the 12600K from Intel, the 7600X has now further cemented its lead, as the 5600X was already a few seconds quicker to start with. What is interesting here is that the 7600X is now the fastest CPU we’ve tested in Super PI.

wPrime 2.11

wPrime is a leading multithreaded benchmark for x86 processors that tests your processor performance by calculating square roots with a recursive call of Newton’s method for estimating functions, with f(x)=x2-k, where k is the number we’re sqrting, until Sgn(f(x)/f'(x)) does not equal that of the previous iteration, starting with an estimation of k/2. It then uses an iterative calling of the estimation method a set amount of times to increase the accuracy of the results. It then confirms that n(k)2=k to ensure the calculation was correct. It repeats this for all numbers from 1 to the requested maximum.

Available now on wPrime.

In wPrime, we again see some healthy gains in the 32M calculation test over both the 5600X and 12600K, and this is further confirmed in the 1024M test where we see a dramatic difference in the calculation time that actually sees the 7600X faster than the likes of the 5800X3D.
