Phenom vs Ryzen: Hexa-cores a decade apart (Part 9)
Conclusion While this article isn't comparable to the high standards of professional review, we still got some insight into the performance of Ryzen 5 5600X over the Phenom II 1055T. Over the course of this article, we saw the 5600X utterly dominate the decade old 1055T in everything we threw at it (well, I threw; you saw). Even though that is to be expected, the performance contrast between the two hexa-core processors and the absolute margins were still amazing( for me at least) to look at! AMD has come a long way to correct its misstep with the bulldozer architecture(the FX series). With a mountain to climb, AMD with Dr. Lisa Su at the helm laid the groundworks with the first generation of Ryzen. Flaunting a massive 52% IPC increase over the FX series, AMD took a giant leap to close the margins with Intel. Then on, its been one victory over another for AMD. Naysayers were left clinging to Intel's IPC and lightly-threaded workload (read: gaming) lead until the Ryzen 5000 s
