The affordable AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D gaming processor was unveiled without any fanfare and received little media coverage. Recently, its test results appeared in the Geekbench database: as it turns out, despite its lower clock speed, the new product outperforms the base model without 3D cache. Based on the test results, the processor scored 1936 and 9292 points in single-core and multi-core disciplines, respectively. The standard version of the Ryzen 5 5500 shows approximately the same result in the first case, and in the second, it lags behind the new product by about 11.5%. At the same time, the base and boost frequencies of the 3D modification are significantly lower than those of the standard version ? 3.0/4.0 GHz versus 3.6/4.2 GHz. The trump card of the Ryzen 5 5500X3D is its L3 cache size: 96 MB compared to 16 MB in the base model. Earlier, the Ryzen 5 5500X3D was tested in PassMark, where it also proved to be faster than its ?progenitor,? albeit by a smaller margin (about 6%). Currently, the processor is officially sold only in Latin America, but may later appear in retail chains in other countries. |
