At stock, the Ryzen 5 2600X is off to a great start. It blasts ahead of the older Ryzen 5 and 7’s in 3DMark, with a score of 20232, putting it just behind the Intel i5-8600K. However, scoring 5610 in Unigine was more impressive, our fastest stock score for Unigine to date! The good numbers keep rolling in from there too, with 5163 in PCMark 10 putting it just behind the Ryzen 2700X for multitasking, which was even ahead of the 1950X! While video rendering and other demanding tasks are still faster on Ryzen 7, the new Ryzen 5 blazed a trail in those benchmarks too, beating the first gen Ryzen with ease in all tests.
Despite the Max Boost Clock of 4.2 GHz, I managed to hit a tasty 4.25 GHz at 1.4v on this CPU. Overclocking saw some huge performance gains in pretty much every benchmark too. Scoring 21155 in 3DMark amazingly put it ahead of the Ryzen 7 2700X, and within shouting distance of the Intel 8600K. Of course, the overclock cut down WPrime times to just 119.616 seconds, around 8 seconds faster than the first generation 1600X. The most significant improvement, however, is single core performance in CineBench, the older 1600X hit just 164 points, while the new one boosted to 173 points. Not the biggest gain ever, but it’s still a step up and puts it close to the Intel i5-8400.
