Synthetic benchmarks aren’t the best way to gauge real world performance, but they’re a good way to find bottlenecks in your system’s performance. Here we can see that the 7700K edges the lead, even beating out the 5820K by a reasonable margin. Ryzen is a little slower, but without shouting distance, and when overclocked, it’s breathing down the neck of Intel.
Now things get interesting, pushing up the resolution has turned the tables on Intel, moving both the stock 1800X and the overclocked 1800X into the lead.
4K gaming is demanding, but it’s clear that the 1800X makes easier work of it, taking the lead again. In all fairness, the scores are pretty close here, all of the chips did very well.
Time Spy is an excellent example of the benefits of DX12 on modern hardware, the 7700K beat out the more powerful but older 5820K, but once again it’s Ryzen that took the lead. Overclocking the 1800X didn’t bring any benefit, showing that it wasn’t bottlenecking the GPU at stock, allowing for an effective lead.
