Ryzen 7000 Series – Is Faster Memory BETTER?? [5200MHz Vs 6000MHz]

Blender 3.3.0

Blender Open Data is a platform to collect, display and query the results of hardware and software performance tests – provided by the Blender community.

Available now on Blender.

For Blender, we saw that extra memory speed didn’t really assist in any significant way with only less than 3% increases on both Intel chips and less than a 0.5% uplift on both Ryzen 7000 CPUs.

Cinebench R23

Cinebench is a real-world cross-platform test suite that evaluates your computer’s hardware capabilities. Improvements to Cinebench Release 23 reflect the overall advancements to CPU and rendering technology in recent years, providing a more accurate measurement of Cinema 4D’s ability to take advantage of multiple CPU cores and modern processor features available to the average user. Best of all: It’s free.

Available now on Maxon.

In Cinebench, we actually start to see a decrease when looking at single core performance though timings are likely whats at play here. In the multi-core testing, we actually start to see performance declining on the 7900X, and not much in it with the 7600X while both Intel CPUs showed a small performance increase with the faster kit, but only by less than 2%.

Corona 1.3

Test and compare the performance of your CPU using this free benchmark application, which is built upon Corona Renderer 1.3.

Corona was another test where it seemed that the 7900X was potentially already at its peak performance as we see no change, while the 7600X sees a second shaved off, but could be treated as margin of error. In terms of the 12900K and 12600K we see a few more seconds shaved off of the render time, showing that they both still have some extra performance locked inside when paired with the right components.

Looking at the rays per second, while we do see uplifts in performance on the 7000 series processors, it’s only by less than 1% on the 7900X and 1.8% on the 7600X while both the 12900K and 12600K see much bigger jumps of 4.8% and 6.7% respectively.

Keyshot Viewer 11.2.1

KeyShot Viewer is a free, stand-alone desktop application that enables secure sharing of KeyShot scenes for interactive, photo-realistic 3D model viewing, presentation and configuration, using the same real-time ray tracing render engine as KeyShot to produce amazing visuals with speed and quality.

Available now on KeyShot.

In Keyshot Viewer, again we see both Intel chips with a bigger uplift in performance seeing the 12900K increase by around 2.4%, and the 12600K by 3.6%. So not massive numbers, but compared to the 0.2% uplift on the 7900X and 0.4% increase on the 7600X, it’s quite a sizeable difference.

V-Ray 5.00.20

V-Ray® Benchmark is a free standalone application to test how fast your system renders. It’s simple, fast and includes three render engine test.

Available now on Chaos.

Moving over to V-Ray and wee again see a small uplift of 2.5% on the 12600K and 2.9% on the flagship 12900K while AMD’s 7600X only comes in ever so slightly better in performance that could be deemed margin of error, and the 7900X actually decreases in performance by 1.4%. Maybe AMD’s claim for 6000MHz memory being the sweet spot isn’t that sweet afterall.
