AMD Ryzen 3DMARK Physic score leaks

Alleged 3DMARK Physics scores have leaked for AMD’s Ryzen CPUs, showcasing performance that is highly competitive with Intel’s current offerings. 

These scores were achieved with AMD engineering samples, and should not be considered as representative of the performance of retail CPUs, though the performance seen here is nonetheless impressive considering the performance of AMD’s older FX series CPUs. 

When compared to Intel’s existing Broadwell-e CPU lineup we can see that AMD’s Ryzen CPUs come with some highly impressive results, finally giving AMD high enough CPU performance scores that they may finally be able to use their own CPUs for their internal benchmarking. For many years AMD’s Radeon Division has had to use Intel CPUs for their internal GPU testing, which has been something that has been hurt the companies pride for several GPU generations.   

Below are the basic specification of the below tested Ryzen CPU engineering samples. 

• – AMD Ryzen: ZD3406BAM88F4_38/34_Y — Eight-Core CPU
• – AMD Ryzen: ZD3301BBM6IF4_37/33_Y — Six-Core CPU
• – AMD Ryzen: ZD3201BBM4KF4_34/32_Y — Quad-Core CPU

  
  

When looking at these Physics scores it is easy to forget the importance of per-core CPU performance, as not all games are as highly threaded as 3DMARK. Below is another graph from Videocardz which compared the per-core CPU performance of each CPU, though it is worth noting that this is just a division of the full CPU score by the number of cores each CPU has. 

This per-core CPU score is not really an accurate representation of single-core CPU performance, does it does paint a picture that AMD’s CPUs cannot offer the single core performance that is as high as Intel at the same CPU clocks. 

  

While these CPU benchmark scores may seem impressive, it is hard to know how these scores will relate to Ryzen’s final performance, with Retail SKUs coming with different CPU clock speeds and base/boost clock speed fluctuations. 

Given the recent price leaks for AMD’s Ryzen CPUs, it seems like the companies Zen lineup will offer a lot of value for money when compared to similarly priced Intel products. It remains to be seen exactly how these new products will compare to Intel in a wider range of gaming and productivity scenarios, though we will be looking into this ourselves when AMD releases review samples to the press.
