AMD Ryzen 3 1200 & Ryzen 3 1300X Linux Performance

Next up are some performance-per-Watt and overall system power consumption numbers for the Ryzen 3 1200 and Ryzen 3 1300X as well as the Ryzen 7 1800X for some reference figures in conjunction with the Radeon RX 580. Unfortunately, no power measurements for all of the systems running in our lab due to having only one WattsUp Pro power meter that interfaces with the Phoronix Test Suite.

For the multi-threaded OpenSSL workload, the Ryzen 7 1800X delivers much better performance-per-Watt than the Ryzen 3 CPUs, to not much surprise considering these entry-level CPUs have a 65 Watt TDP while the Ryzen 7 is at 95 Watts.

For those curious about the kernel build times with Ryzen 3... While the Ryzen 7 1800X can build the mainline Linux x86_64 kernel in just over one minute, on the Ryzen 3 1300X it takes over five minutes or almost seven minutes on the Ryzen 3 1200.

A look at the AC system power consumption during that timed kernel build process.
