AMD Ryzen 9 9950X & 9900X Geekbench Results: Early Look at Zen 5
Geekbench scores of AMD's Ryzen 9 9950X and 9900X reveal promising single-core gains but familiar multi-core performance.
AMD Ryzen 9 9950X and 9900X Show Near-Identical Multi-Core Performance in Early Geekbench Results While single-core performance sees a decent bump, early benchmarks show Zen 5 might not bring a huge multi-core leap over Zen 4. New Geekbench results for AMD's upcoming flagship CPUs, the Ryzen 9 9950X and Ryzen 9 9900X, reveal interesting insights into Zen 5's performance. While single-core performance enjoys a notable 12% increase over the previous generation, multi-core performance appears to be on par with Zen 4. Key Takeaways: Ryzen 9 9950X: Achieved single-core and multi-core scores of 3,359 and 20,550, respectively, in Geekbench 6.3. Ryzen 9 9900X: Posted similar scores of 3,356 and 20,100, indicating potential for the 9950X to improve with BIOS updates. Single-Core Gains: Both CPUs demonstrate a roughly 12% increase in single-core performance, aligning with AMD's claimed 15% IPC uplift. Multi-Core Parity: Multi-core performance appears similar to last-gen Ryzen 9 7950X, sugg…
