Good afternoon everyone,
I'm looking to set up my camera security system in a hostel I own in Pomerode - Brazil,
I bought a ryzen AMD CPU and become a bit worried because I readed some posts indicating that INTEL should perform much better for BI.
I ran a simple test both in my Intel computer at home and in the AMD computer at the hostel,
I think the test can give us a good comparison because both CPU's have similar performance at benchmarks. The results are surprising and I think it's a good idea to share it with you,
The test contenders:
Intel Skylake i5-6600 @ 3,3 GHz (base clock) - 4 cores 'n 4 threads
16 GB 2133 MHz RAM DDR4 dual Chanel (4x 4GB dimms)
Geforce GTX 1060 3GB
OS and BI installed on SSD's
AMD Ryzen 5 1400 @3,2 GHz (base clock) - 4 cores 'n 8 threads
8 GB 2666 MHz RAM DDR4 single channel (1x 8GB dimm)
Geforce GT 1030 2 GB
OS and BI installed on SSD's
For the test, two cameras were used:
Webcam: Microsoft Lifecam Studio (1080p capable sensor)
Ipcam: Foscam FI9816P (720p capable camera)
Attached you will find CPU-Z benchmarks for both systems. I ran these benchmarks to see the real result for my very system. You may see that the intel has a 17% faster single core speed, whereas AMD has a 15,5% multicore advantage (it has multi threading),
The test consisted in two steps
first running only the webcam in the following resolutions:
320x240;
640x480;
1280x720;
1920x1080;
Each resolution at 5fps, 15 fps and 25 fps,
The second test: running both the webcam and the ip camera in 1280x720; at 5 fps, 15 fps and 25 fps;
What was measured: CPU load (min, average and maximum in a 1 minute time lapse) and total memory allocated,
The Blue Iris Configuration was:
Direct to disk write: Disabled
H.264 decode: default
Rotate: No
De-interlace: No
Delay: 0 msec
Area of interest: unchecked
Anamorphic: unchecked
Flip: No
Some of the results:
the complete results follows attached,
Conclusion: the purpose of this test was to evaluate if my system will suport the security system. A further test could be done with more cameras. In just one scenario (memory allocated for both cameras), the intel CPU performed better, on all other the results went surprisingly well for AMD Ryzen, having less variable CPU load, which I suspect could translate for instability on bigger systems. The results are more impressive considering the 1400 being something like 40% cheaper than the 6600 was.
Hope you enjoy it, what do you think about that?
Best regards, Lukas,
