AMD Ryzen 5 5600X Review

AIDA64

Since its early days as Everest, AIDA64 has provided an excellent way to benchmark your system without requiring you to take a week off work whilst the tests run. The memory bandwidth benchmarks test your throughput and we’re also looking at memory latency today. Running the fabric at 1:1 yields the best results, and because the newest Agesa update hasn’t appeared yet as you boost the memory clock the latency increases. For our testing we’ll be sticking to 3600 MHz as it gives us the most consistent platform for testing. Consistency is everything, as we’re sure you understand.

Like all its predecessors the write speeds on everything but the beefiest offerings is always compromised on the lower core count Ryzen models.
