In this comparison we can see how the 'modest' Ryzen 5 1600 (225 euros) comes face to face with the Intel Core i7 7800X (419 euros). There is a price difference of almost double the cost at the time of writing these lines, this detail is very relevant when we see the results at the end of this article.

The comparison was made by the people from Hardware Unboxed in a video of more than 20 minutes long, where we can see the comparison of both processors in some 30 current games and the most demanding.

Ryzen 5 1600

This AMD 6-core processor runs at 3.2GHz and reaches 3.6GHz in its turbo mode. When overclocked further it reaches up to 4.0GHz without much trouble.

Results

The graphics card that was used is the Nvdia GTX 1080 Ti and in the performance tests, it should be noted that the AMD processor was the one that consumed the least gender, both in stock frequencies and in overclocking.

- Frequencies in stock

The Ryzen 5 1600 reaches 118 fps compared to the 123 fps of the i7 7800X - The difference is only 5 fps averaging all the games analyzed. The minimum frames per second reached by both processors are almost identical, 98 fps vs 99 fps respectively.
