A/I thousand dollar CPU PK Intel i3 has been miserable

[PConline evaluation] This year's CPU market is the biggest one in the last five years. AMD's new products are frequently used, forcing Intel to release the eighth-generation Core Core, the six-core i7, the eight-core Ryzen 7, and the mainstream level again and again. The performance limit of the platform. But after all, they are also top-level existence, the price is so high that many players will also look at the evaluation of an eye addiction, the real substantial impact on the user than the price of more mainstream models, today we take two AMD/Intel Thousand yuan level processor out than one.

Two thousand dollar CPUs for PK introduction:

AMD Ryzen 5 1400 E-Commerce Price Read...

The AMD Ruilong camp's thousand-dollar hottest model allows players to enjoy the benefits of eight boxes in just over a thousand. AMD's new ZEN architecture has finally made it possible for Intel's single-core performance and power consumption to catch up with Intel's. It is no longer as weak as a bulldozer, and it is one of the key players that AMD has begun to seize market share this year.

Intel Core i3-8100 electricity supplier price reading...

The younger brother of Intel's eighth generation Core Series, the i3-8350K with a K overclocking, is priced at RMB 1,499. The other is the i3-8100, which is more mainstream. Also 1099 yuan...

After launching the first i3-7350K with the K suffix from the seventh generation Core Duo series, the Core i3 domestic price was also exceeded for the first time by 1,000 yuan. At that time, most people were tempted to “spend more than 1,000 purchases of an i3.” After all, At that time, it was only a dual-core, four-threaded system. It was not worthy of being chosen from a rational perspective. To the eighth generation Core Duo, Intel upgraded it to four cores, but the price also rose, making this without K. Thousands.

Therefore, Intel Core i3-8100 and Ryzen 5 1400 have exactly the intersection point on the price, and it is good that the nephew is a horse out and running!

● Comparison of specifications: AMD has Hyper-Threading, Intel Core

Parameter interpretation: It can be seen that the parameters are mutually beneficial. Because of AMD SMT hyperthreading, Ryzen 5 becomes an eight-threaded processor, and Core i3 only has four cores and four threads. The frequency is slightly higher than the i3-8100, which is 3.6GHz. Intel's process technology makes it easier for the CPU to run at high frequencies. However, the entire Ryzen series is not frequency locked and can be overclocked. Get a certain degree of performance improvement, i3-8100 can not be FM.

Ruilong does not have a nuclear display: Ruilong Ryzen series are not equipped with nuclear display, and Intel Core series in addition to some special OEM models, basically packed a nuclear display in it, this nuclear significance depends on your use, if you It's a game player, and that's no use for nuclear, because you'll be equipped with a discrete video card. And if you are just a family player or if you are watching video online at home, then it's a little bit of a check. In addition, when the discrete graphics card is faulty, the display can also help you troubleshoot and use it for temporary emergency boot.

So here's the first decisive difference. If you buy a CPU and decide to use only the core, then you don't have to worry about it. Go straight to the Core i3, but if you are a game player and need to use it with Then look at the evaluation!

Test platform description:

The selected hardware is more representative, because the CPU is a thousand-level positioning, so with the graphics card recently selected a new rainbow player iGame1070Ti more in line with the needs of players game;

Memory is Zickey TridentZ RGB DDR4 four, after all, the recent memory is expensive, more than a little to satisfy my heart feelings;

The mainboards are all ASUS products. The Z350-A and ROG STRIX's B350 are all excellent models in the same chipset.

Radiator chooses hundred-dollar products, after all, most of the thousands of CPU players will consider this price of the radiator, not expensive, pressing more than 65W U more than enough.

● CPU theoretical performance test

CPU-Z is a well-known CPU detection software. It is a software that detects the highest CPU usage. The supported CPU types are quite comprehensive, and the software's startup speed and detection speed are very fast. In addition, its new Benchmark can effectively test the single-core and multi-core CPU performance. The higher the score, the better the performance!

wPrime is a software (especially a parallel capability) that tests the computing power of computers by the number of primes, and the shorter the time, the better the computing performance.

Theoretical test summary: Because of the higher frequency of the eighth-generation i3, single-core performance is more dominant, but other multi-threaded projects have lost to Ryzen 5 1400, eight-threaded advantage over four-threaded is still much larger.

● 3DMark physical operation test

Physical performance test summary: In this project, Ryzen 5 1400 significantly exceeded i3-8100, because 3DMARK software itself is also good for multi-threaded optimization, so it can be well represented in this project.

● Common software performance testing

WinRAR is software related to memory, CPU architecture, and thread count. Testing i3-8100 is stronger than Ryzen 5 1400. It shows that Intel has obvious architectural advantages in this software application.

● Professional software performance test

The X264 FHD is software that tests the efficiency of video encoding conversions. Can represent the CPU to handle video transcoding performance, the higher the frame rate, the better the performance!

This item reflects the decoding capability of the X264 video. The Ryzen 5 1400 is 3 frames stronger than the i3-8100, about 10%.

CineBench is a persuasive set of CPU and graphics test systems, the latest is the R15 version can support up to 256 logic cores, but also enhanced the shader, anti-aliasing, shadows, lights and reflection blur, etc., for CPU performance The detection is more accurate, the higher the score, the stronger the performance!

This item is also a single-threaded and multi-threaded test project at the same time. It can be seen that Intel i3-8100 still has the advantage on a single thread, but the multi-threading performance is significantly exceeded by the Ruilong Ryzen 5 1400.

POV-Ray is also a professional software for testing CPU 3D rendering performance. It can render 3D pictures one pixel at a time for beautiful pictures. Rendering the same picture, the shorter the usage time, the higher the CPU rendering efficiency. The unit is pixel/second, and the bigger the value, the better.

This software can reflect 3D rendering capabilities and is still dominated by more Ryzen 5 1400 threads.

ArcTime is a video compression and embedded subtitle software, processing efficiency is very high, the test method is to re-encode a 4K video to H.265 standard, record the total time.

Summary of professional software testing: Many professional software have optimized for multi-threading, so Ryzen 5 1400 is overwhelmingly successful in these applications, and not surprisingly, all single-threaded test projects are eight generation i3-8100 Winning, but there are almost no software available for single-core optimization on the market, which means that single-core performance is not very meaningful.

●CPU game performance test

As mentioned before, in order to better represent the gaming performance of a thousand-dollar CPU, we have chosen a more reasonable graphics card, the iGame GTX1070Ti Vulcan X Top, because generally thousands of CPU players will be more inclined to choose this position. Graphics card.

Several games with Benchmark were selected, including the old and new DX11 and DX12 games. The test was based on the number of frames. The higher the frame rate, the better the performance.

It can be seen that, with the GTX1070Ti graphics card, the Ryzen 5 1400 gaming performance is better than the Intel i3-8100. Although the number of frames is still relatively close, it is stronger than i3, and it is less. It is very good to have many advantages.

● Platform power consumption comparison test

Standby power refers to the power consumption when a large application is not turned on after power on, and only a simple operation is performed. Our power supply is HuntKey's MVP P850 Platinum Power Supply.

The Ryzen 5 1400 uses AMD's new ZEN architecture, and its power control has been done very well. Under the premise that the performance is almost always better than the 8th generation i3, the power consumption can be a little lower than it, but the actual performance The level of consumption is at the same level, which means that the required power rating is the same for both, but from an environmental perspective, I recommend AMD.

●CPU full load temperature test:

Radiator is using overclocking more than three hundred relatively popular models, overclocking three East China Sea X5, because this positioning of the CPU will choose the radiator less than one hundred yuan, enough.

With the same heat sink, the full load temperature of the Ryzen 5 1400 is slightly lower than the i8-8100, but the temperature of both is actually very low, indicating that their heat generation is not large, overclocking the three East China Sea X5 to suppress them Absolutely enough.

● Ryzen 5 1400, i3-8100 comprehensive performance comparison:

Taking all of the above test items to average, the Ryzen 5 1400 performance is about 10% stronger than the i3-8100.

In multi-threaded applications, the Ryzen 5 1400 is generally better than the i3-8100, but the single-core performance test project is better than the i3-8100. The vast majority of applications on the market today have been able to support multi-threading, and another advantage of multi-threading is that you can run a lot of software at the same time and not prone to stagging, which is eight threads Ryzen 5 1400 far stronger than i3-8100 Hidden advantages.

In terms of game performance, Ryzen 5 1400 is ahead of i3-8100 in every one, that is to say if you are a game player, choose Ryzen 5 instead of i3-8100. And if you like to play online games to open more accounts, Ryzen 5 1400 can theoretically spike i3-8100 a few streets.

In terms of power consumption and heat generation, the Ryzen 5 1400 has lower heat output and lower power consumption under the premise of better performance than the i3-8100. This means that if you use Ryzen 5, the heat accumulated inside your chassis will be less. Earth's environmental protection has also contributed a lot more power. After all, compared to the i3-8100, the entropy increase rate of Ryzen 5 is even lower.

ASUS ROG STRIX B350-F GAMING electricity supplier price reading ...

Returning to the price, the price of the Ryzen 5 1400 and the price of the eight-generation Core i3-8100 can be said to be the same level, and tens of dollars can be ignored in the 1000 base. But definitely not to be overlooked is the cost of the motherboard!

The eighth-generation Core Duo currently has only the Z370 chipset on the motherboard. The lower-level B-series and H-series have not been listed yet. Buying a "useful" Z370 is basically starting at 1,000 yuan, which is quite expensive. The motherboards on the Ruilong side can be much more selective. You can either choose the mainstream cheaper B350 or choose a slightly more expensive X370 with a thousand-dollar CPU Ryzen 5 1400. Of course, the top choice will be the B350. The price of 600~1000 has been able to buy a good model.


The higher selling price of Z370 motherboards is over 1200 yuan


The higher-selling B350 motherboards are all within a thousand dollars

It can be seen that if you build a Ryzen 5 1400 computer, the total cost of the platform is already 500 yuan lower than that of the i3-8100 on the main board, and the Ryzen 5 1400 is even more powerful, with lower power consumption and heat...

Therefore, the results are better. It is strongly recommended that you select the Ryzen 5 1400 and B350 motherboards on the thousand-dollar platform. As for the i3-8100, wait for it to lower prices and list the corresponding B-series motherboards.
