With the launch of AMD’s Zen 3 based Ryzen 5000 Series processors getting ever closer, more benchmarks are leaking out which suggest that the bold claims made by the company are accurate. The latest such leak sees the flagship Ryzen 9 5950X content creator processor storm past all its mainstream competition in the PassMark benchmark, suggesting the company will soon have the most powerful single-core performance in the market.
The information was found by German publication ComputerBase, who discovered the listing on PassMark before it was deleted. The details show that AMD’s Ryzen 9 5950X scored 3,693 in the single-threaded test, just over 16% faster than the current gaming champion Intel i9-10900K, and just over 34% faster than the last generation equivalent Ryzen 9 3950X.
In the multi-threaded test, the $799 Ryzen 9 5950X scored 45,593, which is almost 88% faster than the $549 Intel i9-10900K, and 16% faster than the last generation equivalent Ryzen 9 3950X. Given that the Intel gaming flagship often sells above retail price due to low supply, AMD’s highest new performer looks like great value by comparison. When compared to the cheapest Zen 3 CPU, the 6-core $299 Ryzen 9 5600X, the 16-core $799 flagship was 5.7% faster in the single-core test, and was 99.7% faster in the multi-threaded test.
It is not clear from the listing whether the Ryzen 9 5950X CPU in question was overclocked or running with extra fast memory, which would make a notable difference to overall performance, but they appear consistent with the leaked results for the cheaper Ryzen 5 5600X which appeared earlier this week. While benchmark software is not exactly representative of real world performance, the repeatedly positive leaks suggest that AMD truly has managed to overtake Intel in single-threaded performance, whilst maintaining its impressive lead in multi-threaded performance.
Having received an incredible reception after their unveiling, the sheer performance demonstrated by the Ryzen 5000 Series in leaked benchmarks suggests that the upcoming official reviews are likely to be just as positive. The good news for gamers is that the rest of the Ryzen 5000 Series look like performing brilliantly in both single and multi-threaded benchmarks, including the $299 Ryzen 5 5600X, which has surpassed the Intel i9-10900K in single-threaded performance despite being the cheapest of the Zen 3 launch line-up.
If the leaks prove fully indicative of AMD’s increased gaming performance, Intel is going to need to produce something special in terms of performance or pricing with its 11th Generation Rocket Lake processors, which are due in early 2021. If AMD can also bring similar performance gains to the new RX 6000 Series graphics hardware, Nvidia may soon feel the same way as Intel.
AMD Ryzen 5000 Series launches on November 5.
