The launch of Zen in 2017 shook the PC building world. After massive anticipation, AMD’s latest CPU platform redefined expectation for core count and performance per dollar, reigniting progress in a processing space that had begun to stagnate. This year, they hope to do the same with launch of the R5 2600X and R7 2700X. Did they succeed? We’re here with the answer in our official review. Read on to see just how Zen+ stacks up.

New Generation, New Improvements

As with any new generation, performance boosting is the name of the game. With the Zen+ platform, AMD aims to push the limits in several core areas and, without spoiling too much of the performance testing coming up shortly, they’ve done a good job of achieving these goals. The production process has shifted over to a 12nm LP, which increases the circuit density from last year’s 14nm chips, though keeps the actual size of the chip the same. The real benefit here is that AMD is able to pull more performance from each bit of voltage taken in by the chip. Conversely, we could also say that the new Zen+ chips use less power to achieve the same frequencies as Gen 1.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a new generation without a boost to clock speeds. While the Ryzen 5 2600X features the same base frequency as the 1600X at 3.6GHz, it now turbos 200MHz faster at 4.2GHz. The Ryzen 7 2700x is all-around more rapid than its counterpart, the R7 1700X, coming in at 3.7GHz and 4.3GHz, 300 and 500MHz increases respectively. In fact, our 2700X is more aptly compared to last year’s flagship, the 1800X, whose clocks are ever so slightly higher, 3. 6GHz and 4.0GHz, but still fall short of AMD’s new premiere 2700X.

Value for the Dollar

Though we can appreciate much about these chips, their greatest impact may just be in how we define value for the dollar. While last year’s 1800X hit the market at $499, the Ryzen 7 2700X is a clear champion in performance and comes in at only $329. That’s a whopping $170 savings — though it’s unclear if a 2800X will be coming to market in the future. The Ryzen 5 2600X, on the other hand, releases for only $229 versus the 1600X’s $249.

This pricing also positions each processor favorably alongside Intel’s current offerings in the i7-8700K and i5-8600K. Both Zen+ R5 and R7 CPUs come in up to $20 cheaper (as of this writing) while offering improved core counts, if slightly slower clock speeds. While both Intel chips offer six cores, only the Core i7 features hyperthreading.  The R7 2700X, on the other hand, features two more cores for a full 8 core/16 threads performance boost. The R5 2600X features the same six cores as the i5-8600K but opens up hyperthreading for 12 active threads.

For users whose apps make use of those extra threads, AMD’s Zen+ line is the clear value leader.

Precision Boost 2

Zen+ also brings with is a much improved Precision Boost 2 system. The original, featured on the 1000 series line, would assess the running conditions of the chip to offer heightened boost speeds. The problem, however, was that the system was limited to a maximum of two cores, leaving much of those higher-ended chips at their base clock speeds.

Precision Boost 2 works similarly but applies its boost consistently to all cores and threads so long as voltage and temperature permit it to do so. Thermal management is a limiting factor, so users running better coolers should see greater improvements for a longer period of time. In my testing at stock speeds with both pack-in Wraith coolers, I was quite impressed. For normal gaming — for us, normal use — I didn’t notice any significant drops in my clock speeds.

Improved Latency

Another area that’s seen improvement is the latency timing’s of the CPU’s cache stores. Looking back at generation one, it’s clear that, for gaming at least, there were some margins that could stand to be tightened. AMD has tweaked the utilization of the L1-L3 cache to improve overall latency, theoretically closing those margins in gaming benchmarks. They promise a 13-percent improvement in L1 latency, 34-percent for L2, 16-percent for L3, and 11-percent for DRAM latency. Moving more data faster through the chip results in an all around faster CPU in instructions per cycle, or IPC.

Improved Memory Compatibility

If there was one thorn in the side of first-gen Ryzen, it was the memory compatibility issues that plagued the platform. This was especially true for higher clocked memory — something that I found quite disappointing in my own testing as Ryzen’s Infinity Fabric benefits from faster clocked DRAM. It seems that this problem has largely been solved. Our reviewer’s kit included 16GB of G.Skill Sniper X memory clocked at 3400MHz. As expected, this kit booted up with no issues whatsoever. What about other kits?

As it happens, I had several DDR4 kits available from assorted builds and reviews. I tested 16GB 3200MHz kits from G.Skill (RipJaws V) and Patriot (Viper) and both worked fine by simply enabling the XMP profile in the motherboard’s BIOS. Cue a sigh of relief.

Improved Wraith Coolers

All of this does result in higher overall TDP on the 2700X, which necessitates a better cooler. AMD has delivered with their improved Wraith coolers included with the chip packages we received. Temperatures stayed manageable. The Wraith Prism is the more effective cooler — fitting for the more premium CPU — keeping us at a peak of 72C under load. The Wraith Spire on the 2600X hovered about 9-degrees higher, peaking at 81C.

If you’re a fan of the RGB trend, the Wraith Prism also receives the full RGB treatment and looks just gorgeous.

TOP 7 AMD Ryzen Processors Still Relevant in 2023

Contents

TOP 5 AMD Ryzen Processors

For three years, AMD Ryzen processors have proven themselves well both in the segment of gaming processors for home PCs and in the professional environment. It is also worth mentioning that more and more streamers prefer Ryzen processors due to good multithreading and high performance per core. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves and look at all the advantages and disadvantages of our TOP 5 AMD Ryzen desktop processors in 2021. nine0003

Let’s go!

AMD Ryzen 3 2200G Processor

The AMD Ryzen 3 processor line is designed for entry-level home systems. Since the Ryzen 3 2200G has integrated graphics, there is no need for a discrete graphics card. For undemanding users, the integrated Radeon Vega 8 is more than enough. The performance of this graphics chip is comparable to Nvidia GT1030.

If it comes to more serious games, then the question arises of the advisability of buying this CPU, because the installation from the eighth Vega, even at the lowest graphics settings, will hardly squeeze out an acceptable 30 FPS in AAA level games. In this case, it is better to consider buying a budget-level graphics card, such as the Nvidia GTX 1050ti, GTX 1060 or Radeon RX 5500XT. nine0003

So, what about the processor itself?

And here everything is very clear. Four cores is four cores. These cores are enough to run most modern programs.

This CPU is not afraid of overclocking, and it is happy to share with you a stable frequency of 3.9GHz. Impressive, isn’t it? The AMD Ryzen 3 2200G is a great CPU for everyday use of your PC and light games.

The Ryzen 3 2200G is the sweet spot for building a budget entry-level PC while keeping your budget as low as possible. And if you need a good processor to work in resource-intensive applications, then it’s better to turn your attention to the older processors of the Ryzen line. nine0003

AMD Ryzen 7 2700

The AMD Ryzen 7 2700 is primarily an enthusiast processor. 8 cores and 16 threads, much more serious than the previous line in the face of the Ryzen 5 2600 with 6 cores and 12 threads. 2nd generation AMD Ryzen processors are built on the Zen+ architecture, which has received significant improvements over the Zen architecture. The Infinity Fabric bus has not gone away, but the performance per core has increased significantly (by as much as 3%). nine0003

All Zen+-based processors received support for a nominal RAM frequency of 2933 MHz out of the box, versus 2667 MHz on the Zen architecture. Also, AMD engineers reduced CPU latency to RAM by 11%, L1 cache by 13%, L2 cache by 34%, and L3 cache by 13%. All this did not give some crazy performance for all processors on the Zen + architecture, but improved their work with L1, L2, L3 cache and RAM, which in turn affected the overall performance of the entire system. nine0003

AMD Ryzen 7 2700 is not afraid of the heaviest games, programs and streaming. Its cores, threads and power will last for 5 years with a margin. The price tag for a new processor varies from $225 for the OEM version to $300 for the BOX version. On AliExpress and the used market, you can buy it for about $225.

AMD Ryzen 5 1600

And here we come to the true favorite of 2017 in the face of AMD Ryzen 5 1600. Who would have thought that after a few years this processor can still prove itself in modern games and everyday tasks . Although let’s be honest, the architecture of the first generation of Zen has managed to become obsolete by today. But the processor can still deliver decent power for the money. nine0003

For an average user, this processor is enough to perform all everyday tasks and a comfortable FPS. For its low price, it will be able to offer relatively high performance in all games and programs. Good multi-threading ensures fast video and 3D rendering.

Overclocking also takes place. On better crystals, you can reach a frequency of 4.1 GHz across all cores, but it’s still better not to risk it and stop at a stable 3.9-4 GHz.

AMD Ryzen 5 1600 is deservedly the «popular» processor of its time. And if you want to purchase an updated version of the 1600, then you should take a closer look at its updated and modified version AMD Ryzen 5 1600AF .

AMD Ryzen 5 2600

The AMD Ryzen 5 2600 is an overclocked version of the R5 1600 with updated Zen+ architecture and 12nm process technology. As for the Zen + architecture itself, everything is exactly the same as in the case of the Ryzen 7 2700, namely, reducing the delays in accessing RAM and L1, L2, L3 cache memory. nine0003

AMD Ryzen 5 2600 boasts better performance than its junior model, Ryzen 5 1600, due to minor improvements. In some cases, the performance increase can reach up to 17%.

Ryzen 5 2600 overclocking lacks stars from the sky and stable operation can be achieved at a frequency of up to 4.1GHz on all cores with a TDP of about 120W. A boxed cooler, which is expected, will not cope with such a volume of TDP and you will have to get at least a three-tube tower cooler. nine0003

For games, 6 physical cores and 12 logical processors (threads) will last a long time. Today, a large number of games are being developed taking into account multithreading, and since our friend has a small reserve for the future, it’s definitely not worth worrying about the fact that this processor will not “pull” modern games.

Thanks to the newer Zen+ architecture, the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 is one of the most attractive processors in its price segment. For $150-200 you will get a new powerful processor with little overclocking potential and support for all modern instructions. nine0003

AMD Ryzen 5 3600

Our next test subject is the AMD Ryzen 5 3600. Six-core, twelve-thread processor based on the new Zen2 architecture. You can learn more about the innovations of the architecture in comparison with Zen and Zen + by looking at the review of the Ryzen 7 2700 processor. Note that one of the key features of the Zen2 architecture was the decoupling of the Infinity Fabric bus frequency from the frequency of RAM, which had a positive effect on the processing speed of paged data. from RAM. nine0003

Basically, all the changes in the performance of the 3rd generation Ryzen processors are due to the new architecture. Hence the high frequencies of the processor itself, and support for RAM with a frequency of 3200 MHz as a nominal one.

TDP remains at the level of Ryzen first and second generation, and is 65W due to the “thin” 7nm process technology. But let’s be realistic, still the factory TDP of 65W has nothing to do with real numbers. At stock frequencies, under full load, the Ryzen 5 3600 can “eat” all 90W, which is almost one and a half times higher than the declared power consumption. When overclocking, you should take this moment into account and get a more powerful cooler in advance. Personally, I advise you to immediately change the boxed cooler to a tower cooler with two or three copper tubes.

In general, the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 processor has every chance of becoming the 1600’s successor in the title of «people’s processor». This will not happen immediately, but only when AMD announces a new line of its processors and lowers prices for past generations of Ryzen 5 processors.0003
