AMD Ryzen 5 7600X
Benchmarks & Specs

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600X is currently the smallest of the four Zen4 processors that AMD presented on August 29th. It has 6 cores and supports simultaneous multi-threading, so that a total of 12 threads are available.

With the introduction of the Zen 4 processors, AMD also introduced a new socket: AM5 (LGA 1718). Among other things, the socket allows a more even and better energy supply to the processor. As a result, AMD was able to significantly increase the clock frequencies of the new processors, especially when several CPU cores are fully utilized.

The base clock frequency of the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X is a high 4.7 GHz. Up to 5.3 GHz are possible in Turbo mode (AMD Precision Boost 2). The new CPUs not only benefit from the high clock frequencies in single-core but also in multi-core operation.

For the first time since the introduction of the Ryzen desktop processors, they have integrated graphics (iGPU). Although this only has two execution units, it is sufficient to connect screens to the computer, even with high resolutions. The technology used here is the RDNA-2 solution, which will be replaced in dedicated graphics cards this year by the successor generation RDNA-3.

Intel has been following the same path for many years and installs a small iGPU in most desktop processors. This means that the processor can also be used without a dedicated graphics card, which can be a great advantage in many areas of application.

For the first time, AMD processors with Zen4 and socket AM5 now support DDR5 memory. The memory controller is released up to DDR5-5200, but the processors use the newly introduced AMD EXPO technology to overclock the main memory. AMD itself used e.g. DDR5-6000 RAM in its presentation, which again significantly increases the bandwidth of the system.
