AMD Ryzen 3 1300X & 1200 Performance Review

Blender

Blender is a free-to-use 3D content creation program that also features an extremely robust rendering back-end. It boasts extremely good multi core scaling and even incorporates a good amount of GPU acceleration for various higher level tasks. In this benchmark we take a custom 1440P 3D image and render it out using the built-in tool. The results you see below list how long it took each processor to complete the test.

3ds MAX Corona Renderer

Autodesk’s 3ds MAX is currently one of the most-used 3D modeling, animation and rendering programs on the market, providing a creative platform for architects to industrial designers alike. Unfortunately its rendering algorithms leave much to be desired and third party rendering add-ons are quite popular. One of the newest ones is called Corona.

In this test we take a custom 3D scene of a room with global illumination enabled and render it out in 720P using Corona’s built-in renderer.

Blender shows the Ryzen 3 1200 just can’t keep up with the competition due to its lower clock speeds. That’s a bit of a problem since these rendering tests have been a strength for AMD. Luckily the 1300X performs very well given its price.

Corona has very much the same results as Blender with the 1200 lagging behind but the 1300X really showing some strength.
