After double eleven baptism, many players have updated their hardware equipment, especially CPU, graphics and other core parts, but one of the hottest topics this year is 'eat chicken', a machine can successfully eat chicken Has become the measure of performance, cost-effective best benchmark.
In the hardware circle, the most DIY users in 2017 were AMD's strong performance of Ruilong processors, but rivals INTEL is also accelerating confrontation, updated the product line at the end of the year, introduced a new eight-generation Core Duo processor.
This allows the majority of users is difficult to choose from, the left Rui Long, the right there is a new Core Duo, how to choose the moment to become the CPU core market topics.
For most users, the mainstream products are their concern, such as eating chicken is smooth, mainstream applications are compatible, etc., for the majority of players the first time troubleshooting is our goal of this test.
Today we have brought two mainstream processor products, respectively AMD Rui Long 5 1500X and belongs to the new eight generations of Core i5-8400 processor.
The reason why the two products will be selected, mainly because these two processors is very consistent with the mainstream user's choice, whether from the price point or from the perspective of the installed platform are DIY players the most preferred product.
Here we look at the parameters of the two products here:
AMD Rui Long 5 1500X uses the latest AM4 platform, 4 core 8 threads, Base frequency 3.5GHz, Boost frequency 3.7GHz, L3 cache 16MB, TDP 65W, support for AMD SenseMI technology, not locked multiplier, adaptive dynamic spread spectrum XFR).
Intel Core i5 8400 is the LGA 1151 platform, clocked at 2.8GHz, using 6 core 6 threads to enhance significantly, at least in terms of quantity we finally do not have to look at dual-core quad-core, and power consumption of 65W. Both products are Support for the latest DDR 4 memory.
Most of the data show that the two products are roughly the same, but the new eight generations of Core Duo motherboards are relatively high, the interface unchanged but not compatible with the 200 series motherboards, only Z370 only support, which has a certain impact on its purchase costs.
In the test, we will turn off screen saver, hibernation, system restore and auto-update, and unify the motherboard and display chipset drivers to provide the basis for obtaining the most authentic and original objective evaluation data.
Benchmark software and hardware environment comparison introduced
This time, we conducted targeted platform tests for the two processors respectively. Among them, the USCORSAIR Avengers Pro DDR3 2400 8GB (4Gx2) and the hard disk SAMSUNG 750 EVO 120G SATA3, the power is Great Wall rated 1250W.
Difference: Motherboard We are ASUS TUF B350M-PLUS GAMING motherboard, the graphics card is ASUS ROG STRIX-GTX1080-A8G-GAMING The above configuration can give full play to their game to eat chicken high performance! Configuration budget about 8637 Yuan or so.
Comparison platform We use the USCORSAIR Avenger Pro DDR3 2400 8GB (4Gx2), the hard drive is SAMSUNG 750 EVO 120G SATA3, the power supply is Great Wall rated 1250W.
The difference between the configuration, the new Core Duo only use ASUS PRIME Z370-A motherboard, and in order to balance the budget we can only use the relative second ZOTAC GeForce GTX1070Ti-8GD5 Extreme PLUS.
Two configurations at the same level, but we found that Intel's budget is higher, but the actual game capabilities we can see below.
Game test:
In the first game test, we used Battlefield 1 as a classic game. As a result, we saw the clear frame advantages of the Rui Long 5 1500X. The advantages of Rui Long are still very good in the DX12 game.
As for hardware games, which require very harsh "starting point ashes", I saw that though the frame numbers of the two games are not very high, but also relatively smooth, of which two products are very close, Ruili 5 1500X with a very weak Leading edge.
Next game is "Civilization 6" In the 1080p test environment, civilization found Rui Long 5 1500X continue to lead the way, the advantage of multi-threading in the "Civilization 6" test is more obvious, for the i5-8400 to be optimized There are still many aspects.
F1 2017 is a racing game, naturally demanding for the CPU, this game, i5-8400 with some advantages ahead of the Rui Long 5 1500X.
Finally talk about today's highlight, "Jedi survival: a large escape", nowadays eat chicken prevalence, we also had a test of eating addiction chicken, the result is very clear AMD Rui 5 1500X completely defeated i5-8400, while two Products have maintained a smooth frame, at the same time I saw the actual difference between the two processors for eating chicken games, on the other hand, AMD Rui Long 5 1500X cost-effective push its configuration standards, such a good gameplay, I believe Users looking forward to eating chicken can feel at ease.
Game Summary:
Game testing, whether it is the classic "Battlefield 1", "Ashes", "Jedi survival: a large escape" or the test of fluency "F1 2017" "Civilization 6", AMD Rui Long 5 1500X are relatively relatively made Good results, Rui Long 5 1500X results in most projects even better.
to sum up:
Combined with today's test, AMD Rui Long 5 1500X and the new eight generations of Core i5-8400 have made the players satisfied with the results, but return to the original intention of our evaluation, this evaluation is in the mainstream processor, through the most common test Project, trying to provide you with more choice of data.
We found that despite the i5-8400 performance is good, but the game for AMD Rui Long 5 1500X comprehensive comparison there is still a certain gap, but taking into account the i5-8400 early with the motherboard high price (because eight generations of Core can now match The motherboard is only Z370), while the Rui long side of the motherboard can be very selective to diversify, and more in line with the interests of eating chicken players.
The above said so much, is to give users more than one choice.When installed, cost-effective accessory users need a lot of attention, one can not be less, I believe the wise players will choose their own value processor.
