I've been busy doing some upgrades this week and wanted to get an idea of the performance differences of my hex core systems. Each system runs at around 4Ghz plus or minus 100Mhz at full load, and the 5820k is my old workhorse that's overclocked to 4Ghz. Also, I'm using 32GB (4x8GB) RAM in each system, which has XMP profiles set for max performance on each platform. The only outlier here being 3600Mhz RAM for the Ryzen 5 3600 being slightly above spec for the CPU. Overall, not a lot of progress in 5 years time to be honest, with the exception of the 3600, which kinda destroys everything else. The Ryzen 5 3600 is replacing the 5820k. I'm pretty satisfied with 35% multi-threaded and 50% single-threaded performance gains at the same clockspeed; especially so since I picked up the processor for $155. I also like being off of Intel's DMI 2.0 architecture and getting to realize the full potential of my Samsung 950 Pro NVMe drive. It benchmarks at it's rated specs now, which is nice.
