AIDA 64 Memory Bandwidth and Latency
We’re now running the Ryzen bench on 2933 MHz dual-channel memory, and despite being a budget chip, it’s running it perfectly. Keep in mind the Intel bench is running a 2400 MHz quad-channel kit, which is why it looks slower.
Looks like the perfect chip for a midrange gaming machine; currently running a G3258 and haven’t felt any need to upgrade (web browsing, watching movies and games not very taxing) it’s running 4.5GHz on air quite happily! Do sometimes wonder if more cores would help, do get some pauses when multitasking or there’s a bunch of browser tabs open. Very happy to see AMD back in the CPU market, been no fan of their graphics hardware.
I run G3258 in my mini-ITX spare work rig and my girlfriends main PC. It’s amazing. Only problem is with games like Borderlands 2, it gets a little stuttery with higher graphics settings regardless of the GPU used, and worse now she has a 1440p display. The cores do help, but for the most part, it’s a real champ for day-to-day stuff. The 1200 and 1300X are in my opinion the AMD G3258. It’s almost twice the price, but it’s twice the cores too, so seems fair.
