CPU Benchmark Performance: Simulation And Rendering

Simulation and Science have a lot of overlap in the benchmarking world, however for this distinction we’re separating into two segments mostly based on the utility of the resulting data. The benchmarks that fall under Science have a distinct use for the data they output – in our Simulation section, these act more like synthetics but at some level are still trying to simulate a given environment.

We are using DDR4 memory at the following settings:

  • DDR4-3200

Simulation

(3-2a) Dwarf Fortress 0.44.12 World Gen 65x65, 250 Yr

(3-2b) Dwarf Fortress 0.44.12 World Gen 129x129, 550 Yr

(3-2c) Dwarf Fortress 0.44.12 World Gen 257x257, 550 Yr

(3-3) Dolphin 5.0 Render Test

(3-4a) Factorio v1.1.26 Test, 10K Trains

(3-4b) Factorio v1.1.26 Test, 10K Belts

(3-4c) Factorio v1.1.26 Test, 20K Hybrid

Rendering

(4-1) Blender 2.83 Custom Render Test

(4-2) Corona 1.3 Benchmark

(4-4) POV-Ray 3.7.1

(4-5) V-Ray Renderer

(4-6a) CineBench R20 Single Thread

(4-6b) CineBench R20 Multi-Thread

(4-7a) CineBench R23 Single Thread

(4-7b) CineBench R23 Multi-Thread

As we mentioned on the last page, where the Ryzen 7 5800X3D can use its 96 MB of L3 V-Cache to improve performance, it does, such as in our Factorio test. For the most part, it doesn't do enough in most situations to improve performance when compared to the Ryzen 7 5800X.

    That would eat into Zen 4 so they avoided it, it's just like Intel's Rocket Lake, Intel marketed a 2C4T deficit CPU only for gaming but abandoned - IMC, Efficiency (which was already poor), MT workloads. Both did half-measures on the socket refreshes.

    If AMD did a whole stack, plus I think Zen 3D is too late, I mean the CPU uArch design team R&D and work is better spent on Zen 4 probably since allocating more time to make the X3D work on all Zen 3 lineup and giving them a full refresh = lot of work / money / resources.

    Shame, because It would have been a solid product if they had optimized it from core, esp with the IOdie, that thing is the biggest Achilles heel for AMD Ryzen Zen 3. Also given their nature of AGESA and QC It would definitely have more impact. EPYC X has lower clocks so it's pretty much better to bin them and put money there as it will net them more cash, Zen 3 was already heavily saturated in the market.

    I think for the future we will have to see how AMD will add X3D to their SKUs I do not think they will do a full stack, but who knows ? maybe they can address the heat and tuning since Zen 4 might be built from ground up on massive improvements esp given it's nature of IPC boost which is marginal but higher clocks and more stability and more mature platform this round.

    Nah, experimental CPUs aren’t released in a common end user and server product, please go inform yourself on PC hardware, you don’t really know much, it’s silly.

    Facepalm
    Everything is experimental when it is new. I specifically said they should repeat what they did here, and then later, when it is fleshed out better, apply those innovations into the mainstream products. Instead of "please go/inform yourself" maybe you should "learn to read"?

    Case in point: AI/ML/Neural Networks. They have been pointless hardware for several years, and made processors "worse" due to the added silicon cost, consumer price, design complexity, software stack, thermals and energy use. However, today they are a welcome addition and in some cases crucial for functionality (that innovation made Rosetta2 possible, relying on this hardware in Apple M1 chips).

    Not having usb problems here

    Saw there was a bios patch a while back, have you updated your bios?

    I do not have the AMD platform. I waited for an year to see what AMD will do for B2 stepping and the AGEGA 1.2.0.2 which was supposed to come out on April 2021 fixing the problem. I kept on searching online at OCN, r/AMD constantly and found the brand new X570S and the top tier boards exhibit the problem regardless of stepping. The 1.2.0.7 is supposedly stable BUT it has it's share of issues with the DRAM OC. And finally the Processors from AMD cannot sustain a single clock speed multiplier ratio. Plus the voltage coupled with all that I did not want to delve into the platform, when I saw 3 users on a forum I visit mention the USB problems.

    It's a hit or miss. You are lucky if you do not have it. But I also think after touching the DRAM past 3600MHz the IOD is flaky, it won't be able to cope and cause lot of stability issues. And a friend of mine ran on X470 C7H, 5900X with Windows 7 and got a lot of instability. I want Windows 7 too... which caused me to skip it.

    You did not have it? So you’re just a salty Intel fanboy that talks trash. Good to know, thanks.
  • Khanan - Friday, July 1, 2022 - link

    Because your CPU got eclipsed, hahaha, cry more. I enjoy it.
  • Silver5urfer - Friday, July 1, 2022 - link

    This is Anandtech, of all folks here I see the salt only from you, which is self-explanatory who is the one here doing the usual nonsense of fanboy slandering.

    The product is shoddy, I called out Intel with trash Z690 because of ILM issues but you see I said bad things about your precious CPU you came out of your small cocoon and started nonsense.

    Here's your shoddy garbage now cry more.

    Eclipsed by garbage yep I can say that perfectly alright. I rather stick with a stable system.
