CPU Benchmarks
Ashes of the Singularity
At the Crazy pre-set Ryzen 1500X struggled quite a bit, although overclocking did provide a much needed 3fps boost.
Cinebench R15
Cinebench scores are actually pretty impressive, beating out the heavily overclocked Intel 7600K, a processor that costs over £200, and keeping close to the 6700K, which is almost £300!
Handbrake
Cutting down to just 4-cores really took the wind out of the R5, but it’s safe to say that if you’re planning on doing lots of video rendering, then a budget focused 4-core CPU isn’t the best solution anyway.
WPrime
WPrime scores are about where we expected, not blazing fast, but certainly competitive given the price of the processor.
I dont understand the power consumption. How does the 1800x suck 60w at idle, while the 1700x and 1700 with lower clockspeed tanks twice as much, even more, to be precise? The 1500x also shows a high number?
Not sure how to say this, but can it be that something went wrong? I have seen other numbers on that elsewhere:

Boy, did Intel carefully select those ‘benchmarks’ for you. I only hope the size of the cheque was worth it!
What’s wrong with you?
