[PConline evaluation] The golden mean, the understanding of the ancients continued into the thinking of our people today. Just like the choice of hardware, high-middle and low-end, today's material base has been upgraded, and the friend who chooses mid-range products is the most! For example, a thousand-class graphics card is the mainstream choice, such as 256 or 512GB class midrange SSD is the primary consideration for friends installed or upgraded, and to today's CPU discussion, the midrange CPU has always been the main force of sales. Regardless of Core i5 or the previous E3 religion, the online voting rate is very high. Since Ruilong joined the competition, we are looking forward to changes in the balance of competition. Today, we are talking about two mid-range CPUs, that is, a thousand-dollar CPU confrontation. â—Thousands of dollars compete fiercer than ever before From the Core i5-750 of the first generation to the Core i5-7500, the current change is more than one zero. The change is the position and status. Historical Core i5, has always been the main force of Intel sales, and positioning the middle of the i5, is the main force in the main, such as the modern Core i5-6500, 7500 and so on. In order to clear the obstacles of the Core i5, Intel even cut off the E3 and consumer-grade motherboards and consciously maintained the status of the Core i5 in the 1,000-yuan market. Thousand dollar market is not Intel's inherent back garden, AMD has always been with the 8-core FX series to fight against it, although the FX series has not yet joined the hyper-threading, but with the 8-core specifications so that the overall performance of the FX and Core i5 competition is still on Do not fall, the ability of multi-threaded is above i5! This year's new Ruilong Ryzen comprehensive access FX series, AMD and Intel's competition in the main product. Among them, Ruilong R5 has 4 models, divided into 6 cores and 12 threads and 4 cores and 8 threads. On the price, the 6-core 12-threaded Ruilong R5 1600X/1600 is aligned with the Intel Core i7, and the 4-core 8-threaded Ruilong R5 1500X/1400 is aligned with the Intel Core i5. Obviously, AMD wants to continue to fight its opponents with two advantages: multi-core and cost-effective. â— AMD Ruilong R5 1400 AMD Ryzen 5 1400 Reference Price: Loading... Image Reviews Quote Parameters Overview AMD Ruilong R5 1400, the cheapest version of the R5 series, the first offer 1299 yuan. Built-in 4 core 8 threads, 8M 3 cache. 3.2Ghz basic frequency, Turbo frequency up to 3.4Ghz. The two biggest points are, undoubtedly, non-locking designs and can be overclocked with confidence. In this review, we added a group of Ruilong R5 1400 manual overclocked data to 3.8 GHz for comparison. After all, there is the ability to overclock, but not overclocking, it is a waste. Compared to Intel's non-K series processors, this free performance improvement can be said to make many players happier. â—Intel Core i5-7500 Intel Core i5-7500 Reference Price: Loading... Image Reviews Quote Parameter Overview Intel Core i5-7500 belongs to Intel's latest seven-generation Core family, based on Kaby Lake architecture, native quad-core thread, default frequency 3.4Ghz, can be Turbo to 3.8Ghz, has 6M three cache, built-in latest HD 630 core graphics , support for higher frequency DDR4 2400 memory and more. The current e-commerce boxed offer is 1,479 yuan, which is more expensive than the R5 1400, and it lacks the player's favorite overclocking playability. So, what does the Core i5-7500 rely on to attract consumers? Core i5-7500 and R5 1400 CPU Specifications CPU Model Core i5-7500 R5 1400 Core Code Kaby Lake Summit Ridge Interface Type LGA1151 AM4 Core Thread 4/4 4/8 Process Technology 14nm 14nm Whether Frequency Locked Basic Frequency 3.4GHz 3.2GHz Turbo (Dynamic Acceleration Frequency) 3.8GHz 3.4 GHz three-level cache 6MB 8MB memory support DDR4-2400 DDR4-2400 set display HD630 no TDP 65W 65W Price 1479 yuan (boxed) 1299 yuan (box) Whether it is the Ruilong R5 1400 or the Core i5-7500 are the two most popular mainstream players. They are similar in positioning, the price is close, and the default frequency is higher than i5-7500, but they cannot be overclocked. The R5 1400 default frequency and dynamic acceleration frequency are all slightly less, but they can be overclocked. R5 is not verified but has more powerful hyper-threading......... Regarding these two CPUs, I believe many of my friends have a question about who is weak or weak. So let's put it out today for comparison! â— Test platform and method description This evaluation is mainly from the three aspects of CPU theoretical performance, game performance, power consumption comparison, because it is a direct PK contest of two CPUs, so it does not join other reference objects, but because the Ruilong R5 1400 itself is not locked frequency multiplier Design, free overclocking, so in order to allow users to more fully understand the true performance of the CPU, thus adding the results after the overclocking evaluation. The CPU game performance test with XFX RX580 Crimson Edition to ensure that the graphics card does not become a CPU bottleneck. Radiator, due to the need for overclocking, in order to avoid the situation of the original radiator is not to force, CPU heatsink has chosen to support multi-platform 5 heat pipe overclocking three East China Sea X6. In addition, because AMD Dragon R5 1400 supports free overclocking, and according to the feedback of players who first tasted overclocking sweets, the frequency of 3.8GHz is a stable point, the voltage and overclocking amplitude are in a relatively balanced state. BIOS that can't understand the BIOS can also use AMD Ryzen Master software to perform the most intuitive adjustments to maximize performance.

Because it supports CPU multi-threading, and it does a lot of scientific calculations, it is often used to test the scientific computing capabilities of computers. It thinks of chess's algorithm through simulated AI. To test the computer's ability to run chess, the higher the score, the stronger the performance. wPrime is a software (especially a parallel capability) that tests the computing power of a computer by calculating the number of primes. The shorter the time, the better the computing performance. CPU-Z is a well-known CPU detection software. It is a software that detects the highest degree of CPU usage. The supported CPU types are quite comprehensive. The software's startup speed and detection speed are very fast. In addition, its new Benchmark can effectively test the single-core and multi-core CPU performance. The higher the score, the better the performance! Test summary: The R5 1400 multi-threaded performance at the default frequency has an advantage in the three of the theoretical running points. Whether it is chess, wPrime, or CPU-Z, the R5 1400 default frequency is only 3.2 GHz. Only 3.4GHz, so the single-threaded performance of the i5 is slightly behind, but when the OC to the 3.8GHz Ruilong R5 1400, immediately realized to catch up, and multi-threaded results further widened gap. â— 3DMark series physical operation test 3DMark theory test Test Summary: In the new 3DMark CPU physics score, thanks to the help of Hyper-Threading, R5 1400 can be described as a ride away, leading the Core i5-7500, is R5 more suitable for playing games? After OC, the score reached 12373 points, which was almost beyond the level of i7-6700K. â— Common software performance testing WinRAR is a powerful compressed package manager, which uses its equal size file for compression time testing, which can effectively detect the performance of the CPU. The less time, the better the performance. â— Professional software performance test TMPGEnc is a set of old high-quality video code conversion tools developed by Japanese companies. Expert group with more than 15 years of video conversion and editing software experience. The ability to perform format conversion and encoding software on its peer-to-peer capacity video files can effectively test CPU performance. The less time spent, the better the performance! CineBench is a persuasive set of CPU and graphics test systems, the latest is the R15 version can support up to 256 logic cores, but also enhanced the shader, anti-aliasing, shadows, lights and reflection blur, such as the performance of the CPU The detection is more accurate, the higher the score, the stronger the performance! Test summary: From the comparison of the results of the 3 applications, the compression software such as file decompression and video compression software are all obvious advantages of the Core i5-7500. Here we can see how important the instruction set support is. In terms of rendering capabilities, multi-threading is still the advantage of the R5 1400, and the R5 1400 on the single-threaded rendering is slightly behind, but after the same overclocking, the two are indistinguishable. â—CPU game performance test Test summary: Game performance, 2K picture quality. Watchdog2, Panorama Blockade, Ghost Action, and Tomb Raider 10 are all basically tied for a game, even if the gaps are insignificant. "GTA5" and "Singularity Ashes" are a bit of a surprise. The i5 accounted for a small bargain and took the lead. Although R5 is behind, the game fluency remains at more than 45 frames. Obviously, optimization in some games has not yet fully demonstrated the performance of Ruilong, and subsequent optimization cannot stop. â— Platform power consumption comparison test Test summary: The same as the 14nm CPU, but we can find that AMD is known as "the stove" label is gone forever. Regardless of whether the CPU is fully loaded, games or standby power consumption, the silent state of the Ruilong R5 1400 without exception, are lower than the Core i5-7500 point. This is not unrelated to the difference in energy-saving technologies between different brands of motherboards. â— PConline evaluation summary: Performance: æ³¾æ¸ clearly. In terms of single-threaded performance, the Core i5-7500 will undoubtedly gain certain advantages by using the default higher clock frequency and Turbo frequency. However, even if the frequency is higher, it is better. In multi-threaded applications, the Ruilong R5 1400 has obvious advantages. Especially after overclocking to 3.8GHz, the lead is even greater. But the prerequisite is that you will be overclocked. Fortunately, AMD has developed Ryzen Master's simple overclocking software, which further reduces the threshold for overclocking. In addition, multithreading is now the mainstream of computer applications. However, in terms of game performance, on average, the Core i5-7500 still has certain advantages. However, due to the fact that the products of the Ruilong series have just been launched soon, some software and games have not yet been able to display all the advantages of the Ruilong processors. For some time to follow-up optimization, follow-up optimization is somewhat of a battle for future trends. On the power consumption: AMD stepping into the 14nm era has finally "switched off" the "problem" of eating electricity, and later you will not say "AMD is the cost of electricity," these face words. Price: Because Core i5-7500 is more than 100 R5 1400 (boxed quotation), but R5 1400 multi-threaded performance is leading and overclocking, and the price is cheaper. It is no wonder that now more and more Players have expressed their desire to change to the massage shop.
