- Conclusions
Ryzen 5 2500X and Ryzen 3 2300X are not processors that are for sale, and we don't know if they will ever really arrive, but they do exist and the folks at Anandtech have grabbed one of these chips to put them through some performance tests.
Ryzen 5 2500X and Ryzen 3 2300X Performance
The Ryzen 2500X is a quad-core processor with multi-threading, while the 2300X is a quad-core processor without multi-threading. X processors typically have a higher TDP than non-X equivalents, allowing them to take advantage of AMD Extreme Frequency Range technology to obtain higher turbos for longer if provided with sufficient cooling, although these are set at 65 W. Both Chips have a maximum turbo frequency of 4.0 GHz.
Performance comparison
For this comparison we focus on the two aforementioned processors along with the 4-core and 4-wire i3-8350K, the 6-core and 6-wire i5-8400 and the 6-core Ryzen 5 2600 with multi-threading.
Corona 1.3 - Rays per second |
|
| Ryzen 5 2500X | 2.05 million |
| Ryzen 3 2300X | 1.37 million |
| i3-8350K | 1.48 million |
| i5-8400 | 2.06 million |
| Ryzen 5 2600 | 2.9 million |
In this rendering test, the 2500X will match the i5-8400 by a good margin, while the 2300X lags behind the i3.
Blender 2.79 - Seconds (Less is better) |
|
| Ryzen 5 2500X | 537 |
| Ryzen 3 2300X | 783 |
| i3-8350K | 691 |
| i5-8400 | 494 |
| Ryzen 5 2600 | 381 |
Blender is another favorite benchmark test, we see that the 2500X is still struggling with the i5-8400. The 2600 seems to be the absolute winner in the test.
PCMark 10 - Score |
|
| Ryzen 5 2500X | 5, 087 |
| Ryzen 3 2300X | 4, 892 |
| i3-8350K | 5, 115 |
| i5-8400 | 5, 169 |
| Ryzen 5 2600 | 5, 116 |
PCMark makes use of mathematical calculations and we see quite a bit of parity among the 5 processors, nothing to note here.
Game performance comparison
All the games were set with the graphics options in 'medium' at 1080p resolution. Let's see how it behaves.
Final Fantasy XV - 1080p (Average FPS) |
|
| Ryzen 5 2500X | 108 |
| Ryzen 3 2300X | 104 |
| i3-8350K | 113 |
| i5-8400 | 99 |
| Ryzen 5 2600 | 112 |
In-game testing begins with Final Fantasy XV, where both 2500X and 2300X behave decently, with both beating the i5-8400.
Far Cry 5 - 1080p (Average FPS) |
|
| Ryzen 5 2500X | 105 |
| Ryzen 3 2300X | 104 |
| i3-8350K | 118 |
| i5-8400 | 121 |
| Ryzen 5 2600 | 109 |
In Far Cry you begin to notice the superiority of Intel, even the Ryzen 5 2600 pales in front of the i3.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider - 1080p (Average FPS) |
|
| Ryzen 5 2500X | 98 |
| Ryzen 3 2300X | 87 |
| i3-8350K | 93 |
| i5-8400 | 104 |
| Ryzen 5 2600 | 101 |
Shadow of the Tomb Raider again shows Intel's superiority, but by small margins. The difference between the 2500X and the i5-8400 is 6 fps.
F1 2018 - 1080p (Average FPS) |
|
| Ryzen 5 2500X | 178 |
| Ryzen 3 2300X | 162 |
| i3-8350K | 187 |
| i5-8400 | 197 |
| Ryzen 5 2600 | 177 |
With F1 2018 it is more of the same, the test shows that the Intel Core does it better but also how close the 2500X is with the Ryzen 5 2600 model.
Power - Full Load (Watts) |
|
| Ryzen 2500X | 79 |
| Ryzen 2300X | 63 |
| i3-8350K | 52 |
| i5-8400 | 61 |
| Ryzen 5 2600 | 78 |
As for the power consumed by these chips, Intel's options seem to require less power to operate at full load. Again the 2600 and 2500X are quite identical, except for the number of cores.
Conclusions
Looking at these tests, we can understand why AMD did not launch both processors, especially the 2500X model, which would not make much sense with the Ryzen 5 2600. The 2300X perhaps would make more sense. You can see the complete Anandtech tests at the following link.
