With the players random factor you can call it a tie.ĭazar'alor, looking at the seal gives some structures to render as well as lots of players moving in and out. Ryzen got better 1% and 0.1% lows while Intel got few FPS more on average. The FPS is not low enough, but it's close to become noticeable in some animations (like camera movement). In this test we can see how 1% and 0.1% low FPS is much lower than the average one. Also players presence adds bit of random factor to the scores. Some areas will have higher or lower FPS and via multiple circles this is the average result. This test was done via flying multiple times around the main street of Dalaran.

Results are very similar to the Boralus flyby although Intel has better 1% and 0.1% lows here.ĭalaran (Legion) can load for quite a while if you are not on a SSD as well has higher performance requirements in some areas of the city. This benchmark was done by looking at the chamber from the side (having all player in the field of view). In the Chamber of heart we constantly have players but the area is small and relatively simple. Both CPUs managed to get very similar scores with Intel one having few more extra frames. There is a lot of structures here to render. If not frame limited the game will render lots of frames and spread the load across multiple cores Karazan raid combat emulation Karazan out of combat for reference Entrance to the seal in Dazar'alor Stonard is a simple place, lots of frames here Test Results - R5 3500X versus i9-9400Fīoralus flyby is done by keeping Boralus in the field of view when flying via flight paths on the side of the city. With like 30FPS at 1% lows you may notice that some animations or rotating your camera has some stuttering to it. Even if you have 60 or 90 FPS on average very low FPS for 1% or 0.1% can indicate that the gameplay isn't fully fluid. The 1% and 0.1% low FPS is a metric indicating fluidity of the game. In more random ones (players presence) multiple recordings have been made. I used MSI Afterburner to record average, 1% low and 0.1% low FPS for given amount of time in various scenes/scenarios within World of Warcraft.

The difference is that it lacks hyper-threading which is a downside in some productivity apps while games are usually not affected by it. Also AMD Ryzen performance is best with high frequency RAM where as Intel is less reliant on this and may perform well with cheaper memory kit.ģ500X is very similar to popular R5 3600. Reason why i9-9900K is still top performer in some games is due to that lower latency. Intel will have lower inter core latency where as AMD will have IPC, memory frequency and bandwidth advantage and those differences may play some role in specific workloads. AMD product can reach 4100MHz on all cores but it frequency can also vary based on thermal headroom.īoth are six core and six thread and should perform quite similarly. 9400F has lower base clock but can boost to same 4100MHz in single threaded loads. Made between 8-14 July 2019, silicon wafer from Saratoga, ATMP in Suzhou, ChinaĬPUs are quite similar to each other. More commonly available R5 3600 will likely be bit more expensive than 9400F (discounts may vary this). I got one and used in this benchmark to have two factory 6C/6T CPUs from both companies. The price may be higher with shipping and other costs of ordering from China depending on your location. A tray version from Aliexpress can cost around 110 EUR - if you find any available as AMD isn't keen on having sales of this model outside intended markets. The R5 3500X is a Ryzen CPU available on the Asian markets and usually not available in other regions - where R5 3600 reigns supreme. Intel i5-9400F is a well known CPU priced in Europe at around 155 EUR.

AMD or Intel?, many or just few cores? What is better for World of Warcraft? To answer that question I decided to benchmark Ryzen R5 3500X and Intel i5-9400F in a set of WoW scenarios.
