Ryzen 9 7950X appears on Geekbench

During Wednesday’s live event, AMD unveiled a new quad core processor with the new Zen 4 architecture under the hood. At the absolute top is the flagship 16-core Ryzen 9 7950X, which in addition to IPC improvements comes with significantly increased clock frequencies compared to the previous generation – something that should significantly boost performance.

Now, early performance results from the model are emerging from the Geekbench test suite. He’s a Twitter user bench leaks (Across video card) who got the numbers from the Geekbench performance database, where the new processor was tested on a ROG Crosshair X670E Extreme motherboard paired with 32GB of DDR5-6000 memory. The results indicate a significant increase in single-threaded and multi-threaded performance versus the latest generation of the flagship Ryzen 5000 series.

When we compare the numbers to scores from SweClocker processor reviews, we see how single-threaded performance increases by 27 percent compared to the Ryzen 9 5950X, while the multi-threaded score is 51 percent better. Against the competing Intel Core i9-12900K “Alder Lake” model, AMD’s newcomer also performs well, with 12 percent better numbers in the single-threaded test and 28 percent higher results in the multi-threaded moment.

Core i9-13900K Intel’s upcoming flagship in the “Raptor Lake” family is already awash with several entries in the Geekbench database, with one Later results Putting the model above the Ryzen 9 7950X in single and multi-threaded performance. Notable for this finding is that it appears to use the processor’s 350W radiator mode, which allows the turbo’s frequencies to spin freely.

Whether or not the early performance numbers for the Ryzen 9 7950X are correct, we’ll find out closer to the sharp launch of the Ryzen 7000 on September 27.
