Yeah, my 4770hq performs around that much, lol. And its a freaking laptop.

Could you maybe redo the benchmark with SMT turned off?

It looks bad, even though it's 1 1700 (non x) 3 GHz-3.7 Ghz.

Disabling SMT (HT powered by AMD) and OC to 4 GHz, the results would be a little better, Anyway ...

I think in the end, I will go with an I5 because it is cheaper than the lowest variant of the i5 CPUs. I've been asking a a few Melee netplayers and the said that an I3 wouldn't be enough. I will be swapping out the 470 with a 750ti because I don't see myself running dolphin with any anti-aliasing or higher resolution. Also, it saves me lots of money in the end.

If AMD comes out with 4 core Ryzens in the next few months, I might reconsider. For the time being, I will stick with the I5. Thanks for your (and everyone elses) feedback and help

I'll try. I was just updating the BIOS for the MOBO not that I expect that to help.

I got the same time, but I am not sure if I'm doing it right....there doesn't appear to be a BIOS setting to disable it on my board (ASUS X370-PRO).

EDIT: Also....CPU never went above 3.12 GHz when running benchmark......hold on.

Windows > Power Options > High Performance

This could be of some importance: http://www.anandtech.com/comments/11170/the-amd-zen-and-ryzen-7-review-a-deep-dive-on-1800x-1700x-and-1700/534750

For IPC comparisons and benches like Dolphin, I'd say it made more sense if both ran at the same clockspeed.

That didn't change the overall time.


These are the results I got setting the CPU to 3.7 GHz in Ryzen Master. During the test it was mostly ~3.5 GHz.

Also, not that I'm sure it matters for the benchmark but my RAM is messed up  I think. It isn't recognized by the BIOS and I'm pretty sure it isn't running at the right speed. When I tried to manually set it correctly it failed.

I'm going to work soon. I'll be back around 10 if anyone wants me to do anything else or test any games or anything. I don't know. Luckily I still have my i5 lol.

AMD Turbo Core still sucks then . Last time i tried , it didn't work, i had to disable it , then set the CPU ratio and Vcore manually
