Benchmark Suite |
|
|---|---|
| CPU | |
| HEXUS PiFast | Our number-crunching benchmark tests the single-thread power of the CPU. |
| Cinebench Release 20 | This popular cross-platform benchmark examines both single- and multi-core performance. |
| Blender 2.82 | We render the Classroom scene in this popular open-source creation suite. |
| Memory and Storage | |
| AIDA64 | Benchmark that accurately depicts memory bandwidth and latency. |
| System | |
| PCMark 10 | A set of tests covering a wide variety of tasks performed in the modern workplace. |
| VRMark | Using the DirectX 12 API, the Cyan Room test examines a system's VR credentials. |
| 3DMark | We run Time Spy, a QHD DirectX 12 test of both GPU performance and stability. |
| Gaming | |
| Civilization VI: Gathering Storm | Tested in DX11, with 4x MSAA and Ultra quality settings. |
| Far Cry: New Dawn | Tested in DX11, with TAA, Ultra quality settings and HD textured enabled. |
| Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers | Tested in DX11, with FXAA and Maximum quality settings. |
| Shadow of the Tomb Raider | Tested in DX12, with TAA and Highest quality settings. |
| Vitals | |
| CPU Temperature | Core temperature recorded when idle and when rendering via Blender. |
| Power Consumption | System-wide mains power draw recorded when idle and when playing Shadow of the Tomb Raider. |
Notes
The 12 processors have all been tested from the ground-up using a newer set of benchmarks. All drivers were the latest as of May 1, 2020.
As of today, the logical competitors for these Ryzen 3 chips are the Intel Core i5-9400F and Core i3-9100F, priced at £135 and £72, respectively. That situation changes as the 10th Gen Core chips become available, and we'll be benchmarking them in due course.
