AMD Ryzen 5 7600X: The most popular Core i5 declassed

Photos 1/2: Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom

The cheapest Ryzen 7000 processor (7600X) is a class above Intel’s cheapest Core i5-class processor (12400). Ryzen dominates in virtually everything, and it does so at higher efficiency. Yes, it’s not the same price range, and the R5 7600X is ultimately “killed” by the high price (not just in terms of the CPU itself, but the entire platform), but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s a great processor.

Adobe Photoshop (PugetBench)

Test environment: set of PugetBench tests. App version of Adobe Photoshop is 22.4.2.


















Adobe Lightroom Classic

Test environment: With the settings above, we export 42 uncompressed .CR2 (RAW Canon) photos with a size of 20 Mpx. Then we create 1:1 previews from them, which also represent one of the most processor intensive tasks in Lightroom. The version of Adobe Lightroom Classic is 10.3

  1. Thanks, very thorough as usual.
    Could you do a comprehensive review on Ryzen 7000 Eco Modes? I like the idea of lowering both power consumption (and temps) and clocks. Not everyone needs 5 ghz and above. In fact I think most don’t.

    1. “Eco mode” will be dealt with in the framework of the motherboard tests. We won’t include it in standard CPU tests, those are at the limit of the maximum time we can invest in them. Eco mode will be here, it just won’t be included in the CPU test methodology, but you will find it in the motherboard test methodology. Just as we now measure, with Intel chipsets, with power limits based on TDP in motherboard tests, we will also reserve space for measurements in Eco mode for the AMD platform.
