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.

News and articles for the AMD Ryzen 5 5600G and the Intel Core i5-10400


VS Description of the processor

These two mid-range processors are 2 models with 6 physical cores, which come from the desktop area and can be installed in any self-built computer with a suitable mainboard. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G was released in Q2 2021, while the Intel Core i5-10400 was released in Q2 2020.

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G has 12 computing threads available due to the hyperthreading technology used, and it can also be overclocked thanks to the free multiplier. The Intel Core i5-10400 also supports Hyperthreading, but cannot be overclocked, this is reserved for Intel processors with a "K" at the end of the name.

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G clocks at up to 4.40 gigahertz and the Intel Core i5-10400, slightly lower, at up to 4.30 gigahertz. our benchmarks show that the AMD processor is about 20-30 percent faster than the Intel i5.

Both processors have an internal graphics unit. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G uses the Radeon 7 Graphics. This iGPU clocks at 1.90 gigahertz and has 7 execution units with a total of 448 shaders. The Intel UHD Graphics 630 is integrated in the Intel Core i5-10400. This graphics unit clocks at up to 1.20 gigahertz and has 24 execution units with a total of 192 shaders. The AMD graphics achieves an FP32 computing power (single precision) of 1702 GigaFLOPS and is therefore significantly more powerful than the graphics unit of the Intel Core i5-10400, which only achieves 461 GigaFLOPS.

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G has 2 memory channels with which it is able to operate up to 64 gigabytes of DDR4-3200 RAM. The Intel Core i5-10400 also has 2 memory channels, but it can be operated with up to 128 gigabytes of RAM of the same type. Both processors do not support ECC memory, i.e. memory with automatic error correction.
