V-Ray CPU-Render Benchmark

V-Ray is a 3D rendering software from the manufacturer Chaos for designers and artists. Unlike many other render engines, V-Ray is capable of so-called hybrid rendering, in which the CPU and GPU work together at the same time.

However, the CPU benchmark we used (CPU Render Mode) only uses the system's processor. The working memory used plays a major role in the V-Ray benchmark. For our benchmarks we use the fastest RAM standard approved by the manufacturer (without overclocking).

Due to the high compatibility of V-Ray (including Autodesk 3ds Max, Maya, Cinema 4D, SketchUp, Unreal Engine and Blender), it is a frequently used software. With V-Ray, for example, photorealistic images can be rendered that laypeople cannot distinguish from normal photos.

VS Description of the processor

If you compare the AMD Ryzen 5 4500U with the AMD Ryzen 7 4700U, you can see that both processors come from the same generation and are also based on the same architecture. Both processors were released in the first quarter of 2020 and are based on the Zen 2 architecture. Both CPUs are manufactured using the 7 nanometer process and the supported socket FP6 shows that both the AMD Ryzen 5 4500U and the AMD Ryzen 7 4700U are processors for the mobile sector. The very low TDP of only 15 watts can also be mentioned as a further indication of this.

The AMD Ryzen 5 4500U has 6 physical cores with a base clock frequency of 2.30 gigahertz. In turbo mode, the CPU can increase the clock rate up to 3.80 gigahertz (single core utilization) or 4.00 gigahertz (utilization of all cores). The AMD Ryzen 7 4700U has 8 physical cores and clocks a little lower at 2.00 gigahertz (basic clock) or 3.40 gigahertz (turbo mode - utilization of all cores). The benchmarks show that the performance with single-core workload is quite similar; with multi-core workload, the AMD Ryzen 7 4700U is clearly ahead of the AMD Ryzen 5 4500U thanks to the 2 additional cores.

The AMD Ryzen 5 4500U then has to admit defeat to the AMD Ryzen 7 4700U in terms of the internal graphics unit. An AMD Radeon 6 Graphics is built into the AMD Ryzen 5 4500U, which clocks at 1.50 gigahertz and has 6 execution units with 384 shaders. The AMD Ryzen 7 4700U uses the better AMD Radeon 7 Graphics, which clocks a little higher at 1.60 gigahertz, with 7 execution units only one unit, but with 448 it has significantly more shaders. The FP32 computing power of the AMD Radeon 6 Graphics is around 20% less than that of the AMD Radeon 7 Graphics.
