AMD Ryzen Vs. Intel i7 Chips Results Revealed; Stress Test, Gaming, Power Demands

If one wonders how AMD would plan to beat Intel in the neverending battle for processor superiority, then this article might be quite of help. It is said that pictures tell a thousand words or so and a graph comparing a set of outputs from AMD Ryzen and its possible intel rival chips. It is important to note that these are initial tests and might change during the actual deployment of the Ryzen.

As of this writing, data has been gathered from a foreign site studying the outputs of AMD's Ryzen compared to a set of intel processors. 2017 has just started and gamers might be thinking of upgrading their processors. The following charts are reportedly taken from Canard PC Hardware, a magazine for PC build enthusiasts. The tests were conducted on pre-release versions - which is most of the time better performing than the to-be mass-produced AMD Ryzen processors.

According to its official announcements from all types of media and including conferences, AMD Ryzen will be showcasing frequency clocked at 3.4 GHZ. On top of that, it will sport an automatic turbo feature. During the tests, however, it is worth noting that the clock is set at 3.15 GHz and then boosts up to 3.4 GHz on turbo mode.

AMD Ryzen VS Intel i7: Stress Test

The first benchmark shows that the AMD Ryzen outperforms all other Intel Core processors lower than the Core i7 6900K. As indicated on the tests, the Ryzen is at second place, right behind Intel i7 6900K, when the stress test is being performed. The said stress test ran with wPrime, PovRay 3.7, Blender 3D, 3DS Max 2015 / Mental Ray, and Corona Benchmark.

AMD Ryzen VS Intel i7: PC Gaming

As for the gamers, the AMD Ryzen is at 7th place. According to this gaming benchmark result, the Ryzen is being beaten by Intel Core i5 6600 and above. The simplest explanation is that Intel processors are said to be efficient at "silicon levels." At this point, gamers should think properly when getting the Ryzen just for gaming purposes.

AMD Ryzen VS Intel i7: Power Consumption

This graph shows the energy requirement for the set of chips on the said test. Soaring on top of the charts is the FX-8370 by AMD. AMD Ryzen only got 3rd place scoring a 93 just right behind Intel Core i7 6900K which has 96. The FX-8370, on the other hand, only had 118.
