2500k vs Rysen?

nightrider1470 · 22 Feb 2017 at 23:02

Is Rysen that much faster? I'm at 3.7ghz 2500k

easyrider · 22 Feb 2017 at 23:07

Wait for single threaded performance...

However a 2500k has 4 core

Ryzen has 8 cores and 16 threads and is beating x99

Do we have Ryzen reviews yet?

Well your 2500k could go a he'll of a lot faster.

you could get another 30% out of it just by increasing the voltage.

haha wait for actual reviews for many things hype train is in full effect.

it is pretty obvious though any ryzen will be a lot faster than a 2500k now.

zipp0r · 22 Feb 2017 at 23:40

well a 2500k @ 4.6 sits below the 7600k in that chart with ~616points

Remember ryzen is only beating intel in that specific bench test thats been revealed. Another site has tested its gaming performance and video compression to show ryzen atleast 20% slower than the equivalent intel cpu.
Looks like amd cherry picking certain benchmarks to get the hype train rolling

I have a horrible feeling were going to see Ryzen fall over when the full reviews come out. I reckon its still going to be 75% of the performance for 50% of the price though. Hope im wrong though, i really want to replace my 2600k with something.

On the contrary, you are cherry picking an old low clock engineering sample leak which is considerably slower and more buggy than the actual processors they are going to sell.

Ryzen looks a fantastic cpu for multi threaded applications.

However, i still haven't seen any proof that it's a killer gaming cpu. I don't think it's going to be quite so good in that regard.

wedrum · 23 Feb 2017 at 09:14

surely a 2500k at say 5ghz is still very capable for gaming ?

IvanDobskey · 23 Feb 2017 at 10:13

It is indeed.

I only replaced mine with a 6700k as i had some vouchers to spend and i was bored

danlightbulb · 23 Feb 2017 at 13:16

Similarly wondering if I should sell my 8 month old i5-6600k and motherboard and upgrade to a ryzen 7? What kind of price differential would I be looking at from selling to buying?

Alternatively I could keep an eye out for a 6700k being sold cheaply by someone upgrading.

Is there any proof this is not just pure BS?

Looks a bit fishy to me. . .

Its from Hexus - the numbers are the ones AMD have provided inserted into a graph of scores from their CPU reviews:
http://hexus.net/tech/news/cpu/102691-amd-officially-announces-ryzen-7-cpus/

As a recap, the blue bars represent HEXUS numbers run last week; the orange bars are AMD-provided numbers on its own systems. Note that our Intel results match-up pretty well to what AMD published.
