Are there any direct comparisons of Ivy Bridge vs Ryzen? I have a 3570k and am considering moving to an R5 1600x. Based on looking at various articles and Kaby Lake vs Ryzen I can make some pretty good estimates of IPC differences, but I was wondering if there have been any direct comparisons. Long winded explanation follows:
A new build is primarily motivated by the need to build something for my MAME cabinet. My MAME cabinet computer (an old Athlon X2 4800+) died...maybe the motherboard...who knows. I thought it was the PSU at first as power was flickering on/off pre-POST and when I opened the PSU there was at least one swollen cap. So without further diagnosis I ordered an SFX Silverstone ST45SF-G to replace the ATX PSU in my main computer as I'd been wanting to get a smaller PSU in my Coolermaster elite 120 anyways. Replaced the power supply in my main computer and moved the old one to the MAME cabinet PC...same behavior so it wasn't the power supply.
I plan to move the 3570k to the MAME cabinet and build a new ITX system. I will probably get either an Intel i7 7700k OR a Ryzen R5 1600x. The 7700k is clearly a better performer in current games, but I'd like to better understand how the R5 1600x compares on an IPC basis to the 3570k it would be replacing as I haven't been unhappy with the 3570k performance yet and I'd be gaining +2 cores/+8 threads vs the 3570k.
New account, but I've been around the forums infrequently for ~15 years, but have forgotten the password as I haven't posted in around a year and the email my account was attached to has ceased to exist as well.
