i7-4790 vs R5 2600 - Is it Worth Upgrading to a Second Gen Ryzen 5?

[@RATechYT]

*Correction*: Made a mistake at 10:30 - Zen+ is monolithic, Zen 2 is when AMD moved to the chiplet design. Thanks for watching! You can support my work here: www.buymeacoffee.com/ratechyt discord.gg/PFb9cMstZH ▪ instagram.com/ratechyt ▪ twitter.com/ratechyt ▪ facebook.com/ratechyt

I have a Ryzen 5 2600 in my PC - I got it about 4 years ago and it still holds up well by todays standards and I really dont run into any problems in it! Would recommend!

[@nem11x]

Great quality as always. Interestingly pric difference of i7 and r5 is around 20-30 euros in my country. I think that r5 is better choice if you want to build a PC, since you can find am4 motherboards more easily and sometimes cheaper. However upgrading from i7 to r5 would be only beneficial if you plan to use it in productivity tasks. I7 is still quite capable chip for gaming and I would choose either R5 5600 or i5 12400 as an upgrade.

[@JukkaX]

My friend is now replacing his couple years old i7 2600K @4,4 GHz system with a new R5 5600X, Gigabyte B550M Aorus Elite V2 and 16GB DDR4 3200 combo B- ) He's got a Radeon RX 6600 to put on it.

[@kylemueller]

You can get a Ryzen 5 3600 used for around $80-100 nowadays... I wouldn't even bother with a 2600 or a 1600 AF at this point unless it's like $50 or less and you're on an extremely tight budget. Not worth it to go below Zen 2 nowadays, especially since they've gotten so cheap and they're so much better than earlier Ryzen chips.

[@RATechYT]

If you find a 3600 for a similar price, of course it would be wiser to go for it.

[@mtaufiqn5040]

As the AM5 platform started to be sold in couple months, i think it would be wiser to just grab zen 3 like 5600 or 5500

[@kylemueller]

@M Taufiq N I also would wholeheartedly recommend Zen 3 over Zen 2, but some people are on a budget. Also, I would avoid the Ryzen 5 5500. It's barely Zen 3 with such a small L3 cache and only supports PCIE gen 3 unlike the Ryzen 5 3600. Plus it has almost no performance advantage over the 3600. However, the Ryzen 5 5600 is an excellent CPU. It just happens to be about twice the price of a used 3600, assuming you can find one for $80. That said, if you can find a Ryzen 5 5600 for closer to $100 I would 100% recommend it over a 3600 regardless of your budget.

This is hard to recommend even on a tight budget... if you already have an old DDR3 system and you have to upgrade memory, MB and CPU... why buy a Ryzen 5 2600 when a 12100 (or 12100F) is so damn cheap and would blow the Ryzen 5 2600 completely out of the water. I think that's a crazy recommendation considering how affordable the 12100 is for a cheap budget build.

[@RATechYT]

I don't recommend the R5 2600 though. This video only shows whether it is worth the upgrade, not that you should get the Ryzen processor.

[@wolfshanze5980]

@@RATechYT "worth the upgrade" with tons of testing was my whole point. Why bother speaking of having to switch out MB, CPU and memory when something so cheap and blatantly more powerful than the R5 2600 (in the 12100) exists? This video should be 30 seconds long... "when doing an entire MB/CPU/memory budget build upgrade, should you consider the R5 2600?

[@RATechYT]

@@wolfshanze5980 That's... definitely an interesting take on the video. I'll tell you this though, these are the components that I had. And I (just like about 2000 people who watched this video) was curious about how they would stack up. So I did all of the testing, came up to a conclusion and decided to make a video about it and share it - simple as that really. Did you know that this is how they would compare? If yes - good for you! I personally didn't know how big the difference would be and I'm assuming majority who watched this video didn't either. For example I recently upgraded from an ancient 60 Hz screen to a 165 Hz one, and I'd love to share my experience about it to show how big the difference is between them, even though it should be obvious to most that the new screen is going to be much better across the board. Finally, you weren't obligated to watch this video at all, you could've just listened to the conclusion and closed the tab. *Problem solved* Don't get me wrong, your argument just doesn't make sense.

How Much Performance Difference Compare to i7 3770 vs Ryzen 5 5600??

Massive difference.

[@bulutcagdas1071]

While the 4th gen i7 is still very decent, you have to factor in the limitations of the platform. You are stuck with DDR3 Ram and m.2 Nvme SSD's are not supported. Now I have seen some motherboards that had a m.2 Sata slot with 4 Sata lanes, but you still have to find an old m.2 Sata SSD which is very rare these days. So realistically you are stuck with a single lane Sata SSD.

[@Trick-Framed]

Think i'd rather have x99 and 6950x than r5 1600 AF. Just about the same price now too lol

[@RATechYT]

That setup would cost more though - the 6950X is being sold for about $109 on ebay, and a decent board such as the Gigabyte X99-UD3P can be found for about $93, which would already be $58 more expensive. At that point you're better off going for the 3900X + B350 or B450, which would in fact cost you about the same as going for the X99 platform.

[@Trick-Framed]

@@RATechYT I can't find a 3900x that cheap. Otherwise that'd be a great strategy. Where can you find them that cheap? Not on Ebay, that's for sure. They average $250 there. So that would be $100 more all total. The route I suggested was the same price as a 1600af and a b350 at current market prices.

[@RATechYT]

​@@Trick-Framed My bad, the ones that I saw were bids. They cost $140 and $160 respectively with shipping, though if you want to buy one without bidding that would cost at least $220 indeed. It looks like the 2680 v3 would be an even better bang for the buck. It's 22nm's, has 12 cores and 24 threads and they're being sold for $25. Actually thinking of getting one.

[@markspeight4597]

why does he keep saying its a R5 2600 when it's clearly an R5 1600?

[@RATechYT]

It's a 1600 AF, which is a slightly lower clocked R5 2600. I explain that at 1:18.

[@juanmassiosare9850]

The man has already answered you, but I will tell you one thing, at the end of the day an R5 1600AE, R5 1600X, R5 1600AF, R5 2600 or an R5 2600X are the same thing, there is not much difference between them if they work at 4Ghz or thereabouts, even if you take an R5 2600/2600X to 4.3Ghz it will not turn it into a stock R5 3600/3600X, so in the end those R5 2600/2600X are still closer to an R5 1600AE/AF/1600X. It is like an RX 580 vs RX 480, there the RX 580 has a little more performance than the RX 480, but it does not perform much more to convert it into a Vega56, Vega64 or an RX 5600XT.

Have haswell system back in the day, planned to upgrade to 4790 but never had a chance Today I'm rocking 12100 and glad it roughly double the performance of 4790. Me in haswell days wouln't even believe that 4 core 8 thread is considered budget low end build nowadays and an i3 doubling the performance of I7 is unheard of.

[@WSS_the_OG]

It's a pretty thorough change, going from a DDR3 platform to a DDR4 platform. Board, CPU and RAM have to be replaced. Seems like, as you said, that money would be better spent moving to something more powerful for just a little bit more money. Moving to AM4 is a good decision however, because it allows access to many different performance levels at the same time, all the way from Zen 1 - Zen 3. There's and upgrade path, unlike with Intel's systems.

[@EGOTheSpartan]

Better to keep the money, Stay with the I7, and wait a few more months for AM5. Depending on Motherboard I would probably buy the K version of this i7 and overclock it like mad, and wait a bit longer to replace it. I got a similar i7-6700k that runs pratically everything without a problem. No real reason to upgrade. Might wait till the AM5 platform that hasn't even launched gets cheap and buy second hand gear and a CPU with many more cores.

[@certs743]

Good video. Very informative. Just built myself a system based around the Ryzen 5 1600 AF. Got it for a trade for an Intel i5 8400. I have it paired with an RX 5600XT and 32GBs of RAM and I am loving it so far. Don't think I will be switching back to Intel anytime soon.

[@FoxyThePirate]

I have the 4790 with 32 gb of ram and it has never gave me any issues and it runs okay for what it is with a 2060, I love my haswell and its honestly a really reliable processor for people who just want to game, The build cost me around $1700 back in early 2015, I am also rocking a Cooler Master HAF 912, that I will be using for a future build because I do not like unicorn vomit and like just a red light around my front fan lol

[@Trick-Framed]

So as I rewatch this I realize that Zen had Ivy Bridge/Haswell single core ipc. Zen+ had Broadwell single core ipc. AMD has a superior implementation of SMT (They get an extra ~35% per core from it whilst Intel barely manages ~15% per core), so they will always be that much faster in multithreaded workloads. It makes the older Zen chips seem even older than they really are. It wasn't until Zen 3 that they finally caught up to and in cases beat Intel. Now they go toe to toe. With the X3D chips being the current de facto gaming chips. This in mind, no you are not getting old, but the performance of Zen and Zen+ is.

It's a very good video and you can only work with the hardware you have on hand, no use spending a lot of money on older hardware that isn't your main pc. I would like to see how the cpu's especially the game lows compare with both cpu's running identical 2133mhz ram, I know they can both do that. The Ryzen's ram is TWICE as fast here as the 4790, that has to be an advantage..

[@RATechYT]

The jump from 2400 MHz to 3200 MHz with this Ryzen setup results in about 6-12% frame rate increase depending on the game, while the frame times remain mostly the same. I'm sure the i7 with 2133 MHz memory would also have a 5-10% uplift over 1600 MHz. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpe0aGCMpbiWaaM

Replacing my 4790 3.6 ghz with the 4790k 4 ghz processor. Oh the 4770 non-k is great if you ask me. (And it will be transferred to another machine.) I think the 4790k will do a noticeable improvement. See how your 4790 boosts itself to about 3.8 ghz? Again, very nice. But the 4790k with its base clock at 4 ghz doesn't need to boost. (and when it does it's always over 4 ghz.) That's still pretty damn fast today and should smooth things out a bit. This machine is for games and playing video on a TV. Really couldn't resist going for the 4790k 4 ghz for the price. And a second machine will get the 4790 (non k) to replace its 4770. Not bad in the bang for the buck category at all if you ask me. These are Optiplex builds by the way. A 750 watt power supply in the 4790k computer WILL work and let the processor boost itself on that tasty 4 ghz base clock. Guessing that Ryzen of yours will STILL edge out the i7 4790k. (maybe!) Getting older, I appreciate keeping the older hardware kicking. And this build was pretty cheap. (RTX 2060, Dell 9020mt, i7 4790, 32gb ram, all sata SSDs by the way. ??? The second computer? RTX A2000 low profile graphics card, Dell 9020sff, i7 4770, 32gb ram all sata SSDs.)

Like I mentioned at 1:17 - this is a Ryzen 5 1600 AF, which has slightly lower clocks than a 2600. Motherboard differences also can impact performance slightly, your numbers are right in line with what I got with an MSI B350 Tomahawk in my Ryzen 5 1600 AF video (kzbin.info/www/bejne/fISpXqV4br2Bp9k - 1:57).

My history of flat screens is as follows: I used 768p/900p/1080p up until I went to 1440p 120Hz in 2014 and then 2160p 60Hz in 2017. As prices have come down on higher res panels I have adopted them. I use 2160p 120Hz for 2 years now and am happy with it but I want a 4k 240 Hz Oled now. Can't wait until I can afford one.

Ur amazed people how people are still poor u mean hahaha

[@outpost23]

Isn't it possible that the 1070 could be bottlenecking these tests.

[@RATechYT]

You can learn that by checking the GPU utilization. In most cases it's not bottlenecking.

[@InternationalLiaison]

The cpu test would of been more fair if system ram size was identical, in dual channel. I have a 4790k with ddr3 that will match the 2600 results with the ddr3 vs the 2600 ddr4. The 4790k even without over clocking has a 4% improvement in clocking vs the stock 4790.

[@RATechYT]

Yes, though like I mentioned I was limited by the hardware.

[@thickbot]

I have i7 4790K @4.80Ghz OC and DDR3 2400mhz RAM

[@damiank9443]

i7 is crippled by that ram

[@sam292o]

I7 4790 was released on 2014 while r5 2600 was released on 2018 which is 4 years apart and i7 is a ddr3 while r5 is a ddr4 which has more memory speed yet i7 is still doing great hands up on intel! One thing thoe using a good cooler on i7 helps a lot, it helps with stuttering and smoothness of fps cause of how hot can i7 get like really fast

[@RATechYT]

The i7 wasn't throttling. In the temperature test the i7 is at least 15°C away from throttling, so it would perform the same regardless of cooling solution.

[@SerjStar]

So 2014 cpu vs 2019

[@GTFour]

You would see a much larger difference with a more powerful modern graphics card. 5600x would take a big lead further and realistically be the what you would actually want to upgrade so if bothering with a whole platform change. Though AM5 is about to drop. More costly but massive lifespan.

[@RATechYT]

I'd say moving to AM4 from Haswell would still be a good upgrade, there is a huge selection of processors and upgrading to anything better than Ryzen 5 2600 will definitely be noticeable.

[@GTFour]

@@RATechYT yeah for sure, just might as well spend not a lot more and get the big IPC and clock speed jump that comes from ZEN3 chips.

Am still rocking a I7 4790 such a good chip can't believe its been 8 years imagine saying to someone in the early 2000s ye my cpu will last almost 10 years

[@ismaelsoto9507]

It could be said the same for the likes of an HD 7970, a 2012 GPU that still can run 2022 games. For example a GeForce 4 GPU - from 2002 - would never run a game from 2012!

no hate, but you say that the 2600 is more recognizable than the 1600af... and that's not right, a lot of people uses the 1600af!

[@RATechYT]

Yes, a lot of people do use the 1600 AF, but the amount is definitely much lower compared to 2600. The 1600 AF was also released quietly, so I'm sure that the majority of average users never even heard of it.

[@elielc]

@@RATechYT i think it's country based, because here in Argentina we all know the 1600af because is cheaper an literally the same processor

[@telios13]

My i7 4790k is better 😎

[@blakedmc1989RaveHD]

mine is too but tha thing is a better upgrade is a 5800X3D

[@GTFour]

Surprised how well the 4790 held up. Be interesting to see this repeated with a much more powerful graphics card of the type someone might reasonably upgrade from a 1070 too, a bargain used crypto market crashed 3080 perhaps.

[@GTFour]

Additionally throw in a Ryzen 5600 or 5700 to make it really interesting!

[@RATechYT]

I own an RTX 2070 right now, though unfortunately I bought it after I was done with testing.

im currently having i7 3770 with 16gb ddr3, should i upgrade to i7 4770/4790 or to ryzen 5 2600?

Don't bother upgrading to 4th gen, you won't notice a huge difference.

@@RATechYT oh but what if i upgrade to gen 4 just for nvme is it ok?

[@valentonto]

The ryzen 2600/1600AF does not use a chiplet designado, it is a monolithic chip, it has 2 ccx but those are in the same chip

[@RATechYT]

It actually has 3 cores enabled on each CCX.

[@valentonto]

@@RATechYT ik, I didnt even mention a core amount because it is pretty obvious tbh

[@RATechYT]

@@valentonto You're right. What I was trying to say there is having the cores on 2 separate CCX's helps with heat transfer. I confused the chiplet design with Zen 2.

Hi!

[@dariuss7923]

So, basically i7 4790 is still leads, and shows us, what 10yo cpu can do

[@adi6293]

Great video but I would like to see a comparison with overclocked and tuned 2600 to show how much you can gain and with a better GPU 😜 also maybe add extra few games

[@RATechYT]

Might do that once I get a 4790k with a Z87 board!

[@notallgarbage]

It's time to upgrade those little buddies (4th gen) and to give those systems to grandma or to 8yo son. AM4 is the way to go for bang for the buck. I grabed a b450 Asrock mobo for 80$ CAN on black friday, and a Ryzen 5 5600 for 175$ CAN (the 5500 was 129$ CAN!! It was a good deal). DDR4 is cheap now. This system was for a friend. I'm done bothering with 2014/2018 flagships now. Not worth it anymore. 😊

[@suiken3149]

My problem with the i7 is the motherboard. Its pretty hard to find something like z97 nowadays. And even if I found one, they are so expensive.

[@RATechYT]

You can find decent Z87 boards starting from around $60 on Ebay.
