Intel vs Ryzen !! Which Cpu To Pick!

AMD’s $250 Ryzen 5 1600X is here to challenge Intel’s quad-core, $250 Core i5-7600K which has been the peoples choice for soo long.Everyone likes to read about expensive, $1,000 parts, but in the real world, most people can’t or won’t spend that much.They are looking for the best prices ib their budget!

Ryzen 5 1600X may not have clock speeds as high as the Core i5-7600K’s, it does offer additional cores and virtual cores. We’ve run few of benchmarks to see if those cores will make up the difference.

Each Zen core complex is made up of four individual processors. AMD turns off some cores for the six-core and quad-core Ryzen 5 parts.

First up: Productivity benchmarks

Our benchmarking begins with a battery of productivity tests. First, Cinebench for multithreaded performance, then Blender and POV-Ray for image-rendering chops. We add Handbrake and Adobe Premiere CC 2017 for video encoding. 

Cinebench Performance

Our first test is the ever-reliable Cinebench R15, which is made by Maxon and based off a real rendering engine used in its Cinema4D parts. You might recall that this benchmark was fingered by the FTC over alleged Intel benchmark improprieties, but Maxon has claimed its innocence.

The first result you see is Cinebench R15 restricted to a single thread. The Core i5-7600K comes out on top, which is to be expected given its higher clock speed and higher instructions per clock. For the most part, the Core i5-7600K sits at 4.2GHz at almost all loads all the time. The Ryzen 5 1600X bounces around, hitting 4.1GHz clock speeds only on occasion. You’re looking at maybe a 12-percent difference, which ain’t bad, but in the end, still second-best.

We retested on Cinebench R15, but this time with all the CPU cores and threads available. You’re seeing roughly an 80-percent difference in performance when all cores are hot on Ryzen 5 and the Core i5. Let’s say that again: An 80-percent difference. That’s just a crushing blow to Core i5 and pretty much frames how this battle is likely to shape up: Give up a little single-threaded performance for a huge bump in multi-threaded performance.

Blender Performance

Blender is a popular open-source 3D renderer that’s used in a lot of indie movie productions. Like most 3D production apps, it loves cores, but I’ve found it not to scale quite as well as Maxon’s rendering engine. Still, Ryzen 5 is clearly in front by a huge margin and finishes about 50 percent faster than Core i5.

PCMark 8 Performance

First up is the PCMark 8 Creative Conventional test, which throws various workloads at a system, including encoding, video conferencing, and photo editing. In the end, Ryzen 5 has a slight advantage.

Handbrake Performance

To measure encoding performance, we use the popular and free Handbrake to convert a 30GB 1080p MKV file using the Android Tablet preset. Handbrake loves, loves, loves CPU cores, and it shows. Ryzen 5 smokes Core i5 by about 70 percent in encoding time. Again, 12 threads vs 4 threads is not even a contest.

Gaming performance:

On Application side, Ryzen has dominated the intel i5 with big margines.

Net let's see how it performs in gaming!

3DMark Performance

This test is designed first and foremost as a GPU and graphics load test. Everything works as it should: Ryzen 5 gets a small advantage thanks to its additional cores, but for the most part, it’s dead-even between the pair of GeForce GTX 1080 cards we used for testing.

Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Wildlands

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

Sleeping Dogs Performance

Rise of the Tomb Raider Performance

Don't need to be disappointed this isn't the fault of ryzen but the game themselves are responsible for this because most of the games were designed for intel architecture so they perform well on intel processors.

However with the launch of Ryzen the game developers will now optimize the games for zen architecture too soo in future Ryzen 5 will easily out perform with its more cores."(source-Pcworld)"

Conclusion

After all the tests it is clear that Ryzen 5 destroys everthing in multitasking but lacks a bit behind in single core performances because of lower frequencies than the Intek i5 but clearly in future Ryzen 5 will be the most dominent thanks to it's more cores.

If you want to build a computer for gaming only you can go for i5 because that faster for now(but not in future).If you want to build a pc for content creating and streaming and stuff like that then pick Ryzen all hands down.
