AMD Ryzen Ashes of The Singularity Benchmarks Surface: Impressive 4K Scores

Ashes of the Singularity seems to be the benchmark tool of choice for upcoming AMD products, for some reason; and it was once again used to benchmark an upcoming AMD Ryzen processor. The benchmark results were quickly deleted after they were posted, but the hardware enthusiast should never be underestimated, and timely screenshot skills always help keep alive these little slips of the trade.

Unlike some previous benchmark leaks of Ryzen processors, which carried the prefix ES (Engineering Sample), this one carried the ZD Prefix, and the last characters on its string name are the most interesting to us: F4 stands for the silicon revision, while the 40_36 stands for the processor's Turbo and stock speeds respectively (4.0 GHz and 3.6 GHz). This is the 8-core, 16-thread SMT-enabled monster of a processor that AMD will be bringing to the table in its uphill battle against Intel, with the Ryzen chip having achieved CPU Framerate scores of 81.4 (normal batch, 73.4 (medium batch) and 60.2 (heavy batch), paired with a Pascal-based NVIDIA Titan X (which would likely point towards the test having been done by an independent, off-AMD labs part).

What an Irony... okay... he has a Titan XP... another irony on the other hand...

I was going to point that out, but I wanted you guys to see the connection :p Well done, my friend :roll::toast:

Couldn't find other comparable benchmarks in 4K for other processors.

How does this compare?

Prolly it is Jen-Hsun Huang himself playing with his sample xD

Is there a standalone benchmark of this ?

AFAIK nope, you have to buy the game, that I am also not willing to do. Looks boring as hell.

Why you would want to compare? THIS IS IMPRESSIVE JUST ACCEPT IT.

It would be more impressive to see 1080p scores where CPU matters most to feed the GPU in time and raise the scores.

4K bechmarks for CPU? Sigh...

I've never played Ashes of Singularity so I don't know what's an impressive score other than the fact that this seems to be a good score at 4K.

I just want to see how this scales with Intel processors.

AMD used a Titan XP at CES in January. So I'm not sure usage of this card is indication of anything.

I would rather see cpu focused benchmark, this now doesn't tell much.

E.g. my test @ 1080p but I had new updated version

default crazy preset



normal mode

Ferrum MasterThose are 1080p thou
I don't think the CPU framerate changes but not sure.

AMD isn't stupid, they know that the Titan is the cream of the GPU crop right now and there isn't a reason on a high end CPU to run a mid range GPU like the RX 480 in order to see the CPU stretch it's legs to the extent it can. That being said some comparable Intel benchmarks would be nice

silentbogoHere's one from Overclockers.ua:
www.overclockers.ua/news/hardware/2017-02-03/119681/

Settings and game version are slightly mismatched, but still draws a decent picture of Zen performance in contrast to Intel counterparts (4790K, 6700K and 6950X).
ouch... am I reading that right? It pretty much looks like its getting smoked

Well I see it has half-resolution terrain ON by those, so not really ideal..

Or is that compressed textures in DLC version I posted?



EDIT: I see all are version2 vs old V1.5 non DLC by Ryzen test.. From what I saw DLC v2 runs faster?

Can't tell for sure, at least for a few reasons:
- Different settings and game version
- It's still a game, e.g. core count won't do much (just look at 10-core 6950X result)

But with this info out in the wild we just need to check the AotS database for newer entries. Someone w/ an i7 is gonna want to check how it does against the new Ryzen.

I don't care about the benchmark. If this is accurate, then this gives us final specs of the chip related to release clockspeed of the flagship. 8 cores/16 threads at 3.6 GHz and 4.0 GHz max turbo at 95W TDP is impressive. No matter what, that is a big jump for AMD.

We should easily be able to get 4C/4T and 4C/8T at 4.2 GHz+ at 65 to 80W TDP. I don't think that would be unreasonable to expect.

I heard these chips run hot from benchers. Around 75c, no info on what chip or cooler though.

We need @W1zzard to match these settings with a Intel i7 and get a better comparison. Would probably get lots of views.

So, you only know the temp, and not load, cooler type, thermal paste, ambient temperature, or even which chip?

Your information is completely useless FUD then. I can claim that RYZEN chips run at 100c. Of course, that is FUD, because I didnt tell you that this was running without a cooler in the middle of the sahara desert. It would be just as useful as claiming that they run at 75c with no information as to how that number was reached.

Correct, but obviously a bencher would most likely have open case normal ambient temp, but yes I have no idea of cooler.

Play fair G Aots allows for that and some of us only care about 4k these days :)

You don't want that because you will get to a point where the Titan X is so over powered for your test it doesn't matter what the CPU is. If the game is CPU bound like City Skyline where the impact of a CPU is immediate and always a factor, that would be a good idea. I have no idea if that is the case for Ashes.

If this game is more GPU dependent, then you want to crank it up as high as you possible can to see at what resolution you start seeing performance drops.

either way I don't think your test or this one is giving us enough information. I don't think we are going to get the full story until the NDA is lifted.
