When Ryzen was released, we found out that their ALUs executed this unexpected sequence in a much more efficient way, leading to results that mismatch the average performance of that new architecture. These operations added a noticeable but similar delay in all existing microarchitectures at the time the previous benchmark was developed. After a deep investigation, we found out that the code of the benchmark felt into a special case on Ryzen microarchitecture because of an unexpected sequence of integer instructions. Here is the main reason that led to an update of the CPU benchmark:Īlmost two years later, Ryzen was introduced, and scored – core for core and clock for clock – almost 30% higher than Intel Skylake. In the latest CPU-Z 1.79, the CPU benchmark has been updated to better handle new multi-core CPUs like AMD Ryzen, and scores have no longer relation with previous versions of CPU-Z. The CPU benchmark performs two quick tests: a single threaded test and a multi threaded test. This CPU benchmark is available since CPU-Z 1.73 (released in 2015). Note: This application includes optional additional software.CPU-Z, the popular CPU information utility, comes with a CPU benchmark module. It will also show you systems Windows and DirectX version. Memory information like: frequency, timings and module(s) specification(like vendor and default timings) using SPD. Mainboard information like: vendor, model and revision, BIOS model and date, chipset and sensor and graphic interface. CPU information like: name and number, core stepping and process, package and much more. It doesn't use any additional files, nor does it write to the registry. CPU-Z doesn't require any installation(it does provide the possibility though), all you need to do is run it. CPU-Z is a freeware utility that gathers information on some of the main devices of your system.
