AMD Ryzen 9 9950X flagship Zen5 CPU spotted on Geekbench, new 9900X/9700X/9600X results emerge

AMD Ryzen 9000 in Geekbench

New benches were made public, featuring the very first score of 16-core variant.

It looks like this might be the final update on Geekbench scores as we now have a complete lineup in one chart, featuring the first results for the Ryzen 9 9950X and updated scores for the remaining 9000X SKUs. It appears earlier scores were higher, likely due to the use of Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO).

The Ryzen 9 9950X scored 3359 points in the single-core test and 20550 points in the multi-core test, marking the highest multi-core result among all Zen5 scores we’ve seen so far. The single-core benchmark is not as high as the 9900X, likely due to PBO being enabled on the 9900X.

Additionally, the updated scores for the 9900X are 3231 points (single-core) and 18064 points (multi-core), making it approximately 5% and 8.6% slower respectively than the presumed PBO-enabled SKU. The 9700X also shows slightly lower performance on a new platform, being 2% slower in single-core and 5% slower in multi-core tests. The 6-core version shows a 3.4% and 7.5% performance decrease compared to the presumed PBO-enabled SKUs.

Keep in mind these comparisons involve different X670E platforms which may not have the same AGESA updates. Also noteworthy is that the 9950X score comes from the Geekbench 6.3 benchmark, while the others are from version 6.2. This is the latest information available, just under three weeks before the official launch.
