AMD Ryzen 9 5950X and Ryzen 9 5900X Geekbench 5 scores leak

The upcoming Ryzen 5000 series based on Zen3 architecture are just two weeks away. More and more benchmark results are beginning to leak as reviewers and platform adopters are preparing for this launch.

The flagship Zen3 CPU codenamed Ryzen 9 5950X features 16 cores and 32 threads. This is AMD’s first desktop CPU to feature a 4.9 GHz boost clock and first to break the 641 single-threaded performance barrier in Cinebench R20.

The latest leak comes from @TUM_APISAK who discovered Geekbench 5 entries for both Ryzen 9 5950X and Ryzen 9 5900X. The data may not be accurate, it does not correspond to the Cinebench results, where 5950X is, in fact, faster than 5900X. In Geekbench 5, the single-core result is actually better for the 5900X.

With a single-core result of 1605 points, the Ryzen 9 5900X is around 9% faster than Intel’s Core i9-10900K CPU (1467 points). The 5900X is a 12-core processor, hence the multi-threaded score is not surprisingly higher as well 12869 vs 10981 (17%). To avoid any unnecessary speculation, we are using Anandtech’s Geekbench 5 results (attached below). The Ryzen 9 5950X compared to the ‘current-gen’ Ryzen 9 3950X is 18% and 12% faster respectively in single and multi-threaded tests.

AMD has not yet confirmed any 10-core Zen3 processor, however, there were rumors that there might such SKU in the works. The manufacturer will officially launch its Ryzen 5000 processors on November 5th.
