AMD Ryzen 5 7600X Review

AIDA64

AIDA64 is a system information, diagnostics, and auditing application developed by FinalWire Ltd that runs on Windows, Android, iOS, Windows Phone, Tizen, Chrome OS and Sailfish OS operating systems. It displays detailed information on the components of a computer.

Available now on AIDA64.

Due to the fact that AM5 uses DDR5, the only real basis we have is compared to other AM5 based processors that we’ve tested, and Intel’s Alder Lake based products along with seeing what kind of uplift we have over AM4’s DDR4 performance. Straight away we do see a performance uplift in terms of bandwidth over AM4 of 14% when comparing the 5600X to the 7600X and while this is welcomed, Intel definitely still hold the upper hand.

When looking at the write speeds, and though we tested multiple times, it seems that some of the 3000 and 5000 series processors have a theoretical maximum throughput on the memory controller, hence identical results, and due to this, we see a huge 140% gain in performance when moving to the 7600X, though lower-end processors like the 12100F from Intel still manage to push ahead by around 6%.

In the copy portion of the test, we again see a strong performance gain, this time of just over 25% when comparing like for like on the 5600X to the 7600X. Again, Intel push ahead more and show that bandwidth is big business for the 12th generation of CPUs.

When we look at the latency, this is where things get a bit closer between the AMD 7600X and Intel’s 12th generation with some slightly stronger numbers in favour of AMD as the Intel 12600K is around 6% slower overall. Due to the fact that the 5600X is on AM4 which only supports DDR4, of course we see some better numbers compared to the 7600X but a faster memory kit may make a difference here instead.
