Blender is a free 3D graphics software for rendering (creating) 3D bodies, which can also be textured and animated in the software. The Blender benchmark creates predefined scenes and measures the time (s) required for the entire scene. The shorter the time required, the better. We selected bmw27 as the benchmark scene.

AMD Ryzen 5 7600X and AMD Ryzen 7 7800X are coming in September
Posted by Stefan on 2022-06-20
After we published a performance assessment of the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X last week, the well-known AMD leaker Greymon55 has now posted more informations via Twitter.
He predicts the first four models of the new Zen 4 desktop generation, which AMD would like to present at the end of 2022. There is also an alleged release date of September 15, 2022.

Comparison of the two processors
The AMD Ryzen 5 3600 from this comparison came onto the market in the third quarter of 2019 and belongs to the third generation of AMD's Ryzen 5 family. The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D, however, only came onto the market in the fourth quarter of 2020 and is already from the fourth generation of AMD's Ryzen 7 family.Both processors are manufactured with a structure width of 7 nanometers, in a chiplet chip design, and are designed for the AMD socket AM4 (PGA 1331).
The AMD Ryzen 5 3600 is a six-core processor that supports hyperthreading, which means it has up to 12 computing threads available. In addition, this processor can also be overclocked if the cooling is good enough. The base clock of the 6 cores is 3.60 gigahertz and the maximum turbo clock is 4.20 gigahertz. The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D has 8 processor cores, 2 cores more and also supports hyperthreading, which means it can use up to 16 computing threads. The Ryzen 7 processor does not have a free multiplier, so it cannot be overclocked. So it remains at the base clock of 3.40 gigahertz and a maximum turbo clock of 4.50 gigahertz. According to our benchmarks, the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 is approximately 40% slower overall than the newer AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D.
An internal graphics unit is not integrated into both processors, so a dedicated graphics card must be installed in the system. In order to connect these to the processor, both processors have 20 PCIe lines in version 4.0 available.
Both the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 and the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D have 2 memory channels and can be operated with up to 128 gigabytes of RAM. Both support DDR4-3200 memory, which achieves a maximum bandwidth of up to 51.2 GB/s. In addition, both processors support memory with automatic error correction (ECC memory).
