AMD Ryzen R5 1400 Quad-Core AM4 Processor Review

CPU Benchmarks

Ashes of the Singularity

Straight away, the performance is pretty much what we expected and lower than everything else at stock. While it’s around the same performance as the i5-7500, which costs about £40 more, overclocking had the performance close to the 4770K. Of course, that’s a £350 CPU right now, so things aren’t looking too bad for Ryzen 5!

Cinebench R15

While it may only be quad-core, having eight threads does bring a nice benefit. Of course, the chip managed to keep up with some decent Intel offerings Most importantly, it even does a good job keeping up with the overclocked Ryzen 1500X.

Handbrake

While having processors with more cores and higher clock speeds is the way forward for Handbrake, the 1400 does an OK job. However, it is not designed for video rendering.

WPrime

Some fantastic scores here, not the fastest (naturally), but still very competitive against some of the more expensive Intel offerings.
