AMD Ryzen 5 8600G Linux Performance
With the few extra days last week while waiting for my newly-ordered Ryzen 5 8600G to arrive, it did allow for re-testing some of the additional comparison CPUs. So for today's article the tested processors included:
- Ryzen 5 5600G
- Ryzen 7 5700G
- Ryzen 5 7600X
- Ryzen 7 7700
- Ryzen 7 7700X
- Ryzen 7 7800X3D
- Ryzen 9 7900
- Ryzen 9 7900X
- Ryzen 9 7900X3D
- Ryzen 9 7950X
- Ryzen 9 7950X3D
- Ryzen 5 8600G
- Ryzen 7 8700G
- Core i5 14500
- Core i5 14600K
- Core i9 14900K
There will also be even more as I did also buy an AMD Ryzen 5 8500G for Linux testing too... That review will be up later this week.
All the AMD AM5 CPUs were tested using the ASRock B650 PRO RS that was supplied as part of the review kit for the 8000G series along with the GSKILL DDR5-6400 2 x 16GB memory.
All of the testing was done while running Ubuntu 23.10 with the Linux 6.7 kernel and Mesa 24.1-devel via the Oibaf PPA.
Let's move on to looking at the Ryzen 5 8600G performance while also exploring the CPU power consumption and power efficiency.
