Compare two processors: AMD Ryzen 5 5500U vs Intel Core i5-1135G7 @ 2.40GHz [cpubenchmark.net] by PassMark Software

There is also a distance between the transistors on the substrate. And, it should be noted that it differs among manufacturers such as Samsung, TSMC, Intel and GF, with the same declared process technology. nine0005

As a result, it turns out that the concept of a technical process at one fine moment became purely marketing and does not speak, as in the old days, about the technical advantage of processors, which have less technology. Thus, the TSMC 7nm FinFET process technology, on which the last two generations of AMD processors are manufactured, cannot be called with firm certainty the best relative to Intel’s 14 nm proprietary process technology. If you want to delve into the topic, then here is one interesting article and an informative video about it. And we are finally moving on to testing. nine0005

Testing

In the comments to the previous article, we were reasonably reproached for using different versions of benchmarks, which affects the test results. What can I say. It often happens that the “cartridges” have just been delivered, and they have already run out. In the sense that it is far from always possible to retest for specific processors on current versions of benchmarks. But this time I managed to get a full load of ammunition in my hands, so further you can see not only the results of testing Geekbench of the fourth version, but also of the fifth. nine0005

And while we are talking about what influences test results, I remember one example from my life. Once a meteorologist was asked in an interview, “Tell me, what affects the weather forecast?”, He answered — it’s easier to say that it doesn’t. So the phase of the moon does not affect the test results, but this is not accurate.

But seriously, there are more than enough factors that can affect the final test result. And it’s not just the operating system or Linux distribution. The result will also depend on the OS kernel version, system software versions, memory strips, even if they have the same characteristics, chipset, processor power phases and their cooling, BIOS version, benchmark version, especially the phoronix package, whose tests are updated more often than presentations Apple in 2020. Even the drive affects, for example, the passing of the phoronix Apache test. In general, a lot of conditions that are difficult to repeat over time. That’s why we do our best to create the most equal conditions for those processors, the results of which will be included in one article. nine0005

I would especially like to note the following point. It applies to a lesser extent to Intel processors, which has been doing reflashes of the same architecture for many years, and to a greater extent to AMD processors: after the release of the processors, the first test results are worse than the results of the same tests a year later. I assume that this is due to the addition of support for the corresponding processors and optimizations in the kernel, software and benchmarks. That is why the results of the first tests of AMD processors were not included here: they were good, but the new ones are even better. nine0003
This time we double-checked everything so that the reader can get the most up-to-date test results.

So, “what fell into our tenacious paws today?”

First, these are two AMD processors on the Zen 2 architecture — Ryzen 9 3900X and Ryzen 9 3950X . It would be more honest to compare them with the ninth thousand Intel processors — Core i9-9900K. Almost «the same age» after all. But we decided that another representative from Intel would take part in the comparison, or rather Core i9-10900K , a relatively high-end processor for the LGA1200 socket. On the one hand, we already have comparative tests of the i9-9900K and i9-10900K, on ​​the other hand, both of these processors are built on the same architecture. So everything is fair.

We also decided to test the latest 5000 AMD — platforms based on them have replenished our line of servers quite recently, so traditional tests are indispensable. We will check three processors on the Zen 3 architecture: Ryzen 7 5800X, Ryzen 95900X, Ryzen 9 5950X .

Note that we are not just comparing processors of the same manufacturer in the form of refreshes, as we did earlier. This time we have the opportunity, firstly, to compare processors from two different manufacturers, and secondly, processors from the same manufacturer on two different architectures.

When comparing Intel and AMD, EVERYTHING is different: manufacturer, nuclear architecture, manufacturing process, processor cache, both in terms of volume and execution architecture, quantitative and qualitative solution of core execution, processor frequency, number of computing units. The only thing that these processors have in common is the x86/x86_64 architecture. And technically this is not entirely true. In the case of comparing AMD processors of different generations: these are two different nuclear architectures. Well, perhaps we will now combine them with our tests. nine0005

It is worth saying a few words about the third and fifth thousand AMD processors. The company claims that with the Zen 3 line, it has managed to make an even greater leap in performance than with the release of previous generations of Ryzen. Thanks to this, new products, according to the manufacturer, should become the fastest solutions on the market, not only in computing tasks, but also in games. AMD says that they have seriously redesigned the crystal architecture, which made it possible to raise the overall performance to 19 without increasing the base frequencies on the same technical process.% relative to Zen 2. Well, we’ll see.

So, six processors are involved in testing:

• Intel Core i9-10900K,
• AMD Ryzen 9 3900X,
• AMD Ryzen 9 3950X,
• AMD Ryzen 7 5800X,
• AMD Ryzen 9 5900X,
• AMD Ryzen 9 5950X.

In testing, only single-unit servers (1U) were used. All processors are cooled by liquid cooling (hereinafter referred to as «water cooling», CBO, «water», «dropsy»). nine0005

AMD processors are water-cooled in the classic version for 1U platforms. The Intel processor is cooled by advanced liquid cooling — a custom solution of its own production, the configuration of which we still do not cover. Otherwise i9-10900K overheat. Well, at least they don’t burn.

All test instances are summed up under a single common denominator: 1U, “water”, the same RAM at a frequency of 2933, the same data drive. Memory with a frequency of 2933 is the maximum for the i9-10900K, while the presented «Ryazan» supports memory at 3200. And as you know, the performance of AMD processors, including in tests, strongly depends on the memory frequency. On our part, this is done in order, so to speak, to equalize the chances.

AMD processors are tested on the same motherboard with the new chipset.

And one more point that I would like to draw your attention to.

Comparison of AMD 9 processors3900X, AMD 9 3950X and AMD 9 5900X, AMD 9 5950X is logical and understandable: the last successors of the previous ones. But the AMD 7 5800X is out of this range. The fact is that our tariff line also includes the AMD 7 3700X, which I would love to compare with the new AMD 7 5800X. And that would also be understandable. Alas, it was not possible to test it at the time of preparation of the article. But since there are 5800X results, why not share them.

Detailed description of tests

Geekbench test

A suite of tests conducted in single and multi-threaded mode. The result is a performance index for both modes. In this test, we will consider two main indicators:

• Single-Core Score — single-threaded tests.
• Multi-Core Score — multi-threaded tests.

Units of measurement: abstract «parrots». The more «parrots», the better. nine0005

Sysbench test

Sysbench is a package of tests (or benchmarks) for evaluating the performance of various computer subsystems: processor, RAM, storage devices. The test is multi-threaded, for all cores. In this test, I measured one indicator: CPU speed events per second — the number of operations performed by the processor per second. The higher the value, the more efficient the system.

Phoronix Test Suite

The Phoronix Test Suite is a very rich test suite. Almost all the tests presented here are multi-threaded. The only exceptions are two of them: single-threaded Himeno and LAME MP3 Encoding tests. nine0005

In these tests, the higher the score, the better.

1. John the Ripper multi-threaded password guessing test. Let’s take Blowfish cryptalgorithm. Measures the number of operations per second.
2. The Himeno test is a linear Poisson pressure solver using the Jacobi point method.
3. 7-Zip Compression — 7-Zip test using p7zip with integrated benchmarking feature.
4. OpenSSL is a set of tools that implement the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and TLS (Transport Layer Security) protocols. Measures RSA 409 performance6-bit OpenSSL.
5. Apache Benchmark — Measures how many requests per second a given system can handle with 1,000,000 requests, with 100 requests running concurrently.

And in these, if less, then better — in all tests, the time it takes to pass is measured.

1. C-Ray tests CPU performance on floating point calculations. This test is multi-threaded (16 threads per core), will shoot 8 rays from each pixel for anti-aliasing, and generate a 1600×1200 image. The test execution time is measured. nine0046
2. Audio encoding. The LAME MP3 Encoding test is performed in one stream. The test time is measured.
3. Video encoding. The ffmpeg x264 test is multi-threaded. The test time is measured.

In general, the results turned out to be predictable — the latest generation of 5,000th AMD is confidently outperforming its predecessors and leaving the relatively fresh Intel Core i9-10900K far behind. At the same time, it is worth noting that the Ryzen 9 3950X from the «third thousand» proved to be very worthy — according to the results of Geekbench tests, it ranks second after new products, and in the John the Ripper multi-threaded test, which measures the number of operations per second, even outperformed Ryzen 95950X.

The Ryzen 7 5800X also proved to be quite interesting, becoming a leader not only in the results of Geekbench tests in both single-threaded and multi-threaded modes, but also in other tests — for encoding audio data (encode mp3) and for the number of requests per second ( Apache). I would recommend taking a closer look at servers with this processor. Especially, for processing media content or as a web server.

Well, since we promised a comparison with Intel, I’ll say a few words about them. Judging by the test results, the i9-10900K has a chance to compete for the championship in single-threaded Geekbench tests (most likely thanks to a couple of additional GHz), but only with AMD «third thousand» — the performance of «fifth thousand» is an order of magnitude better. Moreover, even the “third thousand” does the i9-10900K in most tests.

Since the «party secretariat» hinted to me that loud cheering is not our style, I’ll just calmly express my opinion. In my opinion, for two years now, Intel, if not catching up, is at least on a par with AMD in the desktop and gaming segment. As soon as Intel releases a new generation of processors, AMD immediately “beats this card”. Apparently, the superiority of the «blue» over the «red» is coming to an end. The Reds, in my opinion, are like Phoenix — they burned out when they released the FX series, and were reborn from the ashes with the release of Ryzen. nine0005

As you can see, my genuine love for AMD is caused not only by romantic feelings, but also by banal cold calculation. If you follow the news, according to PassMark Software, in early 2021, AMD had 50.8% of the world’s desktop processor market. The share of Intel, respectively, fell to 49.2%. This means that the competition of giant manufacturers is reaching a different level, which will keep both companies in good shape. Therefore, I assume that 2021 will be no less dynamic than the outgoing 2020 in terms of breakthrough news in the processor market. Moreover, both companies have something to improve — Intel still has to figure out the 10 nm process technology, and AMD, at least, to solve supply problems so that it doesn’t turn out the way it did in December, when not everyone got what they ordered. nine0005

In testing, we used servers based on AMD Ryzen and Intel Core processors from 1dedic.ru. Dedicated servers with these processors can be assembled in the configurator and ordered with a 7% discount for the selected payment period — 1, 3, 6 or 12 months using the promo code HABR1DEDIC21 . The discount does not apply to additional services connected to the server. The promo code is valid until February 28, 2021.

How did MediaTek beat Qualcomm? Parsing

If I ask you: who is the king of mobile processors? Probably, you will say, of course Qualcomm. And what about the fact that MediaTek has been overtaking Qualcomm in sales of mobile processors for two years in a row. A few years ago they had a reputation for heating and problematic chips, and now this brand is in first place. And the flagships of the future can completely switch to MediaTek. How is this possible? nine0005

In this material, we will figure out where such sales growth comes from, what cool and unique technologies the company has, and why the flagship MTK is better than the top Snapdragon.

Where did MediaTek come from?

The company was founded in 1997 in Taiwan. It first made chips for CD and DVD drives in computers, and then entered the mobile market in 2004 by making chipsets for phones in China.

The company became truly famous in 2013-14, when cheap smartphones flooded the market. Many of them are based on MediaTek chips based on the ARMv7 architecture. Basically, due to the low price and acceptable performance. It was MediaTek that then made it possible to get 8 real cores in a mid-budget smartphone. For example, the first Xiaomi Redmi Note worked on a similar processor. nine0005

How did sales increase?

How did they come to success? First, let’s see how the mobile processor market works.

The biggest players on it are Apple, Qualcomm, Samsung, MediaTek, Huawei and UNISOC. Recently, Google broke into it with its Tensor. If you look at the percentage distribution of the share of each of them, it turns out that MediaTek is ahead of everyone.

But what made the company take the first place?

The key consumer of MediaTek processors is Xiaomi. And as we know, Xiaomi is one of the largest players in the mobile device market. It is the third on the market in general for all smartphones and the second among Android devices. Above it is only Samsung, who use both their Exynos and Snapdragon with MediaTek. nine0005

Xiaomi puts MTK processors in most budget Redmi smartphones and even in some devices of the older series, which we used to know under the letter combination Mi. Recently, by the way, they got rid of it completely. You can often find Helio or Dimensity chips in them. What is the difference? More on this later.

It turns out that MediaTek is most often put in state employees and middle peasants. This is shown by market analytics. But why exactly do vendors choose these chips? nine0005

Cost

The fact is that MediaTek offers efficient chipsets that are cheaper than competitors. For example, according to insiders, even the flagship MediaTek Dimensity 9000 costs less than Snapdragon 8 gen 1 from Qualcomm. But the chips are on the same level.

But MediaTek dominates in the lower price segment, where devices cost from 100 to 300 dollars. All this thanks to inexpensive processors with support for the 5G standard, which is now actively spreading. For example, the Dimensity 700 and Dimensity 9 models00. The cheapest smartphone of 2020 with support for new generation networks, Realme V3, was built precisely on the basis of MediaTek Dimensity 720. Or not?

Let’s take a look at what’s inside each SoC and find out what the differences are.

This is what the fresh Snapdragon 8 gen 1 from Qualcomm looks like. It is made up of a bunch of blocks. In addition to the obvious CPU and GPU, there are several other important modules here — ISP, Sensing Hub, 5G Modem and FastConnect. About everything in order. nine0005

Let’s start with the most interesting — ISP. Why is it useful?

The Spectra ISP is a signal processor dedicated specifically to photo processing.

What it does: controls autofocus, adjusts exposure and white balance. And all this in real time, before you take the picture. The ISP also does more important things: it turns the raw information from the sensor into a color image. After that, Spectra applies HDR, corrects the image geometry and removes noise. That is, it finishes the image so that it looks good. In general, a really useful thing. nine0005

The latest ISP Spectra 680 has a throughput of 3.2 gigapixels/s. This indicator means the amount of data that it can process at a time. Pixels are used as data, as ISP works with images. That is, the Spectra 680 processes 3.2 billion pixels per second. Thanks to this, the chip can process photos up to 200 megapixels and shoot HDR video in 8K. The numbers are impressive.

What does MediaTek have? Let’s take a look inside the Dimensity 9000.

He also has an ISP — Imagiq 790. It does everything the same, but differs in capabilities. Its bandwidth is 9 Gp / s, that is, 3 times higher than that of Snapdragon. Therefore, such a chip can process a picture no longer at 200, but at 320 megapixels. But according to the company itself, HDR video can only be processed in 4K. For 8K, only normal 24-frame recording is available.

In modern smartphones, ISP does not work alone, but in conjunction with machine learning. For AI to work in Snapdragon, both the CPU and the GPU are immediately involved. However, the development of neural networks over the past few years has forced the company to add the Sensing Hub, which we mentioned earlier, to the chips. This is a separate module dedicated specifically to AI. With its help, neurons analyze video, recognize objects, faces during shooting. And all this in order to get the perfect picture. nine0005

MediaTek has an APU 590 for the same purpose. AI works on this module to process noise in pictures and videos, as well as lossless double zoom. By the way, the same chip is engaged in optimizing system processes in order to increase performance in games.

Finally, the last two modules in Snapdragon are the 5G modem and FastConnect. Thanks to them, Qualcomm’s flagship SoC supports 5G, Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3.

In MediaTek, these two modules are called simply: Connectivity and Modem. But their functionality is almost the same. The exception is the maximum download speed through a 5G modem. The latest Dimensity hits 7 Gb/s, while the latest Snapdragon can hit the full 10 Gb/s. Otherwise, there is still the same set of interfaces as Snapdragon, but at a lower price. In addition, modern MediaTek processors have a unique feature that is still not even in the flagship Snapdragon. nine0005

We are talking about hardware decoding of the AV1 video codec. We had a separate material about him, we advise you to take a look, why is he revolutionary. In short, it is used by all popular streamers and compresses video very efficiently. A smartphone without a hardware decoder will be able to open video in such a codec, but its processor will be heavily loaded, and therefore heat up more and drain the battery.

Qualcomm is rumored to add codec support only in the next flagship chip, and MediaTek has had this feature for 2 years now. nine0005

Performance

Technology is great, but just as important is chip performance. How is MediaTek doing with this?

Let’s look at the results of the Dimensity 810 processor. This is one of the most popular chips in the entry-level segment with 5G. It competes with Snapdragon 695. This is the only Qualcomm chip with 5G on devices at that price.

And here Dimensity is 15% behind. But if we compare MTK with the more popular Snapdragon 680 in the segment, then it is already ahead of Qualcomm. nine0005

Another significant chip for the company is Dimensity 1200. Last year it helped MediaTek increase its share in the middle segment by almost 20%. Let’s take a look at the results of Geekbench 5.

We will see that smartphones with it give the same performance as the Snapdragon 865+ and 870. If we look for smartphones with these chips, we will see that the prices for both of them are approximately the same — from 300-350 dollars.

Not a strong gap in other segments. Even in the flagship, where MTK broke only recently. And there, the company’s chips turned out to be somewhat better than Qualcomm, but more on that later. In short, MediaTek really drags. But it’s one thing to give out good performance, and quite another to work stably. Previously, the middle peasants of the MTK were notorious for overheating, but what now? nine0005

Let’s test the company’s latest mid-range chip. To do this, we have a TECNO Camon 19 Pro smartphone, which has an eight-core Helio G96. How we will test: first, we will run a throttling test in 100 threads and hold it for an hour.

Lines

We compared the performance of the mid-range and sub-flagship lines and also tested the gaming series. But the range of the company is not limited to this. What does MediaTek actually have?

Throughout the history of the company, there have been many lines: MT65, Helio A, Helio P, Helio X, Helio G and Dimensity. nine0005

Let’s start with the first MT65s. It was the processors of this series that brought the company both popularity and a bad reputation at the same time. They were cheap, with a large number of cores, so they were massively installed in inexpensive smartphones. In normal tasks, they could give acceptable smoothness, but smartphone manufacturers often scored on any optimization. As a result, such devices slowed down, the graphics in them were very weak, and some chip models also got very hot. Because of this, the company could not earn the trust of users for a long time. nine0005

To get rid of the bad reputation and at the same time mark the transition to the ARMv8 architecture, MediaTek has moved to release Helio lines. Their naming should have become more understandable for buyers.

The Helio A series was designed for the most budget devices. This line was created in 2018 and lived for only two years — new CPU models have not been released since 2020.

For more expensive devices, there was the Helio P series, where the letter P stands for Performance. This line came out in 2015. These mid-rangers became a turning point in the history of MediaTek, since it was with the release of this line that the company’s bad reputation began to disappear. Like the Helio A line, P lived until 2020. Although you can now find smartphones with such processors, both lines have supplanted the other two, more successful ones. nine0005

Helio X (eXtreme Performance), launched in 2014, should have been the flagship. The problem is that they were top only among the company’s models. In fact, they turned out to be of average performance and could compete with the Snapdragon 600 series. The Helio X processors were not bad for their price, but it was wrong to position them as the top.

The real reason for MediaTek’s success is the G gaming line for the mid-range segment. What is her secret? The fact is that earlier MediaTek processors were far behind the graphics of competitors. Now, Helio G chips are competing on equal terms with the Snapdragon 700 series. nine0005

TECNO Camon 19 Pro

For example, the TECNO Camon 19 Pro smartphone runs on a processor from this line. Inside the device is a MediaTek Helio G96. This is an octa-core processor, made according to the 12 nm process technology. A combination of two productive Cortex A76 cores and 6 energy efficient A55 cores gives good responsiveness in everyday tasks. At the same time, the smartphone remains cold and does not spend all resources in an instant.

The chip is complemented by 8 GB of RAM, which means that you can keep a lot of applications in the background. If this is not enough, you can always expand the RAM by another 5 GB using Memory Fusion technology. In order to accommodate as many programs as possible on the smartphone, Camon 19Pro has 128 GB of permanent memory.

And since this is still a processor of the G line, that is, Gaming, then for games there is Mali G57 MC2 graphics. The same GPU can render the interface at 120 FPS.

Unleash the full potential of graphics with a large IPS screen with a 120Hz refresh rate for smooth visuals. It has a Full HD + resolution with a diagonal of 6.8″. On top, you can stick a protective film from the kit. Small but nice bonus. Thanks to thin bezels and a small cutout for the camera, the display takes up almost the entire space of the front panel, which makes the smartphone look compact. nine0005

Speaking of the cutout. There is a front camera with a 32 megapixel sensor. The core modules are even cooler. There are three of them.

For portraits, there is a 50-megapixel sensor with 2x optical zoom. And for beautiful background blurring, there is a separate auxiliary sensor. The built-in ISP in Helio 96 can show this effect in real time.

Finally, the main camera is a 64 MP sensor with f1.65 aperture. Its feature in the form of RGBW technology allows you to shoot bright and high-quality pictures even at night. Paired with it are noise reduction systems built into the SoC. And for smooth videos and shooting at night, optical stabilization is provided. nine0005

This interesting set is powered by a 5000 mAh battery. To quickly fill such a volume, the smartphone provides fast charging at 33 watts. Thanks to this, 64% is gained from scratch in half an hour. All this stuff is packaged in a slim and stylish case, the design of which received the iF DESIGN AWARD.

Let’s get back to MediaTek processors. Having turned off the supposedly flagship Helio X in 2017, MediaTek returned to this segment after 3 years. But already with successful Dimensity. And this is the second reason for the current success of the company. Dimensity chips really belong to the upper segment, and are not called that for marketing purposes. nine0005

Now the range has expanded to medium solutions. But this only improved the position of the company, because the lower models with 5G modems captured the mid-budget market.

But why are the flagship Dimensity so successful? Why Dimensity was better than the flagship Snapdragon?

This is how many points the flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 gen 1 gives out in the GeekBench 5 benchmark.

MediaTek is on par in the single-threaded test and simply breaks in the multi-threaded test. Impressive? nine0005

And this despite the fact that MediaTek is cheaper, but this is not the most important advantage.

Remember how reviewers and smartphone owners complained en masse about the high temperature of the Snapdragon 888? So, the same problem also affected the more recent 8 gen 1, albeit to a lesser extent.

Why did it happen? Indeed, in its flagships Snapdragon 888 and 8 gen 1, Qualcomm switched to a seemingly cooler 5 nm process technology. And as we know, the smaller it is, the more energy efficient the chip is. So right?

At first, there were suggestions that the Adreno 660 GPU was to blame. However, Snapdragon 8 gen 1 already has a different video chip, but the overheating problem remained.

It turned out that the seven-nanometer Snapdragon 865 (2019-2020) and 870 are manufactured at the TSMC factory, but the Snapdragon 888 and 8 gen 1 are already made by Samsung. And although the companies did not make official statements, the choice of Samsung as a manufacturer was most likely to blame. First, if we compare two identical chips manufactured at 5 nm by Samsung and 7 nm by TSMC, there will be almost no difference. But the process is different. nine0005

Secondly, the next flagship, 8+ gen 1, Qualcomm decided to release already at TSMC and for a reason … According to the manufacturer, its power consumption will decrease by 30%. And most likely, this is the effect of switching to another manufacturer.

Apparently, Samsung has encountered production problems on 5 and 4 nm technical processes.

As for the Dimensity 9000, it has been manufactured at TSMC’s 4nm process from the very beginning. By the way, Apple Axx Bionic processors are also produced there. And there are no temperature problems with it. Dimension 9000 manages to be not only faster than its competitors, but also colder and more stable. Finally, Dimensity 9000 supports LPDDR5X memory, while Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 only supports LPDDR5.
