AMD Ryzen 9 9950X test results are out

AMD has postponed the launch of its new Ryzen 9000 series processors, which were unveiled in June, due to undisclosed production issues. Nevertheless, the results of the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X benchmark and technical details of the processor have appeared on the web. This was reported by VideoCardz.

This will be a 16-core Zen5 processor with a maximum frequency of 5.6 GHz and a default TDP of 170 W, which is the highest among all processors in the Granite Ridge series.

In particular, the results of the Geekbench test of the overclocked AMD Ryzen 9 9950X have been released. In the single-core test, the processor scored more than 3700 points, and in the multi-core test, it scored about 26 thousand points. This is much higher than the results of all other AMD and Intel processors, including the Intel Core i9-14900K.

AMD was able to overclock the processor to 6.7 GHz, but this required liquid nitrogen, which is not available to all buyers. According to this benchmark, the 9950X is 10% faster in single-core and 26% faster in multi-core tests than in previous results.

The launch of the new AMD processor is scheduled for August 15. The price is still unknown.
