About the AMD Ryzen 5 1500X CPU
The AMD Ryzen 5 1500X is a 4-core (8-thread) processor built for the desktop CPU market. It launched in Q2 2017 with a suggested retail price of $189. It is part of AMD's Ryzen 5 lineup, which is based on the Zen microarchitecture. The 1500X is compatible with AMD Socket AM4 motherboards and is fabricated on GlobalFoundries's 14 nm manufacturing process.
Memory and Cache
The Ryzen 5 1500X supports DDR4 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 5 1500X has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 96 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 512 KB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 16 MB.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The Ryzen 5 1500X features 4 total cores which can process 8 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 3.5 GHz, and it can boost up to 3.7 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is unlocked, enabling overclocking for those seeking to push the CPU's performance further.
Integrated Graphics
The Ryzen 5 1500X does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.
Benchmark Performance & Value
The Ryzen 5 1500X has the 258th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 25.86% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D. Its 9,566 score and $189 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 50.61. This is the 46th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Perf. Physics benchmark.
About the AMD A10-5800K CPU
The AMD A10-5800K is an end-of-life 4-core (4-thread) processor built for the desktop CPU market. It launched in Q4 2012. It is part of AMD's A10 lineup, which is based on the Trinity microarchitecture. The A10-5800K is compatible with AMD Socket FM2 motherboards and is fabricated on GlobalFoundries's 32 nm manufacturing process. It features the Radeon HD 7660D integrated graphics solution.
Memory and Cache
The A10-5800K supports DDR3 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the A10-5800K has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 192 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 4 MB, is larger but slower than the L1.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The A10-5800K features 4 total cores which can process 4 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 3.8 GHz, and it can boost up to 4.2 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is unlocked, enabling overclocking for those seeking to push the CPU's performance further.
Integrated Graphics
The A10-5800K includes an integrated graphics solution called Radeon HD 7660D. This graphics processor is directly integrated into the CPU and is not as powerful as a dedicated graphics card. While integrated graphics can handle basic tasks like web browsing and office applications, it is not suitable for more demanding activities such as gaming or video editing, where a dedicated graphics card offers superior performance.
Benchmark Performance
The A10-5800K has the 464th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 10.55% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
