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.

    Thank you. We're overhauling our 3D test suite for the next generation CPUs. Watch this space!

    Review something far more interesting: M1 Ultra.

    Was beginning to think that they were planning on shutting this website down… are they struggling to get writers?

    *smirk* Whaaa! They're not reviewing my favorite piece of silicon, they're going out of business.

    Don't worry, we're not going anywhere.

    I won't beat around the bush: it's taking longer than expected to get a new Sr. CPU Editor hired. That's a big part of the reason things are so slow - fewer hands, and my time is being tied up with hiring.

    Makes sense. Thank you!

    I am assuming the primary issue is having first rate editors accept third rate salaries?

    Unlike Anand it wouldn't seem that Ian and Andrei were lured away by big cash.

    So, you found out where they went? Do tell.

    Give it a rest dude.
