In line with a brand new Geekbench 5 rating, shared by @BenchLeaks on Twitter, the Ryzen 9 7900X garners a 30% lead over its predecessor, the Ryzen 9 5900X, in Geekbench 5 multi-core and single-core assessments. It is sufficient to doubtlessly land the all-new 7900X a spot in our finest CPUs tier listing as soon as it arrives in our labs.
The Ryzen 9 7900X scored 2,167 factors within the single-threaded check, whereas within the multi-threaded check, it scored 18,446. In line with the official Geekbench browser stats web page, the Ryzen 9 5900X scored 1,669 factors within the single-core check and 13,946 factors within the multi-core check.
This successfully offers the Ryzen 9 7900X a 30% lead in single-threaded efficiency and a 32% lead in multi-threaded efficiency over its predecessor. These are very comparable stats to what AMD projected with Ryzen 7000 over Ryzen 5000, together with a 29% generational acquire in single-threaded velocity and 45% in multi-threaded duties.
We don’t see the 45% beneficial properties right here, however that’s anticipated. CPU efficiency can change drastically relying on the workflow, so Geekbench 5 alone is not sufficient to evaluate CPU efficiency. On the very least, we see the identical 30% beneficial properties within the single-threaded check of Geekbench.
Most of Geekbench 5’s beneficial properties will be attributed on to the 13% IPC acquire coming from the Zen 4 structure and the 800MHz leap in increase frequency from 4.8GHz to five.6GHz. However one other velocity enchancment coming from Ryzen 7000 is the addition of AVX-512, which Geekbench 5 will use in its AES-XTS cryptography benchmark.
This additionally implies that the Ryzen 9 7900X’s efficiency upgrades are attributed to raised per-core efficiency since each the 7900X and 5900X share the identical 12-core depend.
General, we can’t use Geekbench 5 solely as a benchmark to evaluate CPU efficiency. Nevertheless, it does give us a clue into the Ryzen 9 7900X’s efficiency exterior of AMD’s official numbers. We will anticipate common efficiency beneficial properties to be across the 30% ballpark however anticipate efficiency to be far completely different in area of interest situations that may reap the benefits of Zen 4’s new architectural properties.
