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

Achieved CPU clock speed

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.

  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.
