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.
