AMD Ryzen 5 2600 / Ryzen 7 2700 Benchmarks On Linux, 9-Way Ubuntu CPU Comparison

Here is a look at the overall CPU temperature over the course of all the Linux CPU benchmarks conducted for this article. The Ryzen 7 2700 had an average CPU temperature of 47 degrees and peak of 58 degrees compared to the Ryzen 7 2700X with a 55 degree average and a peak of 73 degrees. The Core i7 8700K meanwhile had an average 53 degree temperature and 74 degree peak. The Ryzen 5 2600 also came in several degrees cooler on the minimum, average, and peak temperatures compared to the 2600X, as is expected given the TDP differences.

Lastly is a look at the AC system power consumption over the course of all the benchmarks conducted. The Ryzen 5 2600 had an average power draw of 153 Watts with a peak of 405 Watts while the Ryzen 7 2700 had an average power draw of 150 Watts and a peak of 391 Watts.
