Application Operation: Excel, Handbrake, Blender, Adobe Premiere

For those of y'all who beloved Excel, you'll be happy to hear that the new Ryzen CPUs will let you crunch data faster than always, without breaking the banking concern. The 2700X took just two.two seconds to complete the workload while the 2600X took 2.7 seconds.

Overclocked, those times fell and the 2700X was able to remain ahead of the 8700K, if only just. Once again, the 2600X ran a ho-hum race, it was well ahead of the overclocked 8600K but well behind the overclocked 1800X.

Equally expected, SMT is still significantly more than efficient for decompression work opposed to compression. This means while the 2700X was 12% faster than the 7820X when extracting files, information technology was 17% slower when archiving them. It's a similar story when comparing the 2600X and 7800X.

Overclocked the 2600X is slightly faster only again the gains are hardly worth the effort. The 2700X is more impressive equally it enjoyed a 7% performance crash-land though information technology was only v% faster than the overclocked 1800X.

The 2700X is slightly slower than the Core i7-8700K in our HandBrake benchmark and quite a bit slower than the 7820X. Meanwhile, the 2600X matched the 8600K and shell the 8400, placing it firmly in Coffee Lake Core i5 territory.

When overclocked, the 2700X yet trails the 8700K by a reasonable margin though information technology was able to trounce the 8600K. Then nosotros come across that overclocking the 2600X was enough to come across it only outpace the 7700K at 5GHz, so that'south a pretty impressive consequence.

The Corona render time for the 2700X was merely a few seconds longer than the Core i7-7820X which is a solid outcome for AMD. The 2600X managed to edge out the 7800X, making for an even improve issue. The 1800X already had the 8700K beat in this criterion so the 2700X really just makes certain of it.

Once overclocked, the 8700K is able to match the overclocked 1800X and this placed both on par with the stock 2700X. Still, overclocking the 2700X reduced the render time by 10%, down to just 108 seconds, though the 2600X was only able to improve on its time by a 2% margin once overclocked.

Moving on to the Blender render test and here the 2700X was simply 5% faster than the 1800X while the 2600X beat the 1600 by a 15% margin. This made the second-gen Ryzen parts slightly slower than the Skylake-X chips featuring the same amount of cores.

Overclocked, we again squeezed only slightly more than performance out of the second-gen Ryzen CPUs. The return time for the 2700X was reduced by 7% and five% for the 2600X.

V-Ray Benchmark is some other gratis stand-alone application to help you lot test how fast your hardware renders and we're of grade focused on the CPU results. Hither we can see the 2700X basically matching the 7820X while the 2600X was on par with the 7800X, making the 2nd-gen Ryzen serial rather competitive with Skylake-X.

Overclocking the 8700K to 5.2GHz can't grab the overclocked 2700X, and in fact it simply manages to match the stock 2700X. Meanwhile, the 2600X was merely a fraction faster with its frequency boosted. I'g very neat to overclock the 7820X and 7800X and revisit these tests again.

Wrapping up the awarding testing, we have Premiere Pro CC and outset upward we're going to check out encoding functioning. Here the 2700X is simply able to reduce the consign time of the 1800X by a 4% margin and this meant it was even so 9% slower than the 7820X. The 2600X does improve against the 7800X but was nevertheless a little slower.

Overclocked, nosotros see adept gains from the 2nd-gen Ryzen parts only over again I'll have to revisit these tests once I've had time to overclock the Skylake-X CPUs.

Where Ryzen has struggled in the past is lightly threaded workloads. Encoding a video more often than not sees all cores well utilized but most editing tasks don't use all available CPU resources. The college clock speeds of the 2nd-gen Ryzen CPUs really help and here the 2700X was able to reduce the workload time by 7% from the 1800X. As yous tin can come across, the 2700X and 2600X delivered pretty much the aforementioned result.

Overclocked we even so see a decent performance uplift simply once again the 2700X and 2600X deliver similar results. Y'all can't help just notice how much faster the 8700K is for these sorts of workloads. Compared to the 2700X for example, the 8700K reduced the competition fourth dimension by 19%. Even at 5GHz you can withal await it to be effectually 15% faster.
