More benchmarks for the upcoming Ryzen 9 Zen 3 processors have surfaced online and they show a huge single-threaded performance boost from previous generations. The latest benchmarks of AMD’s upcoming Ryzen 9 5950X and Ryzen 9 5900X CPUs leaked out in the Geekbench database and were discovered by TUM_APISAK on Twitter.
AMD’S Ryzen 9 series of processors will be the flagship chips of the Ryzen 5000 series featuring the highest core count and are aimed at the enthusiast gaming market. And the benchmarks show both the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X and Ryzen 9 5900X running close to the 5 GHz frequency mark which is impressive considering they are such high core count chips.

In the Geekbench benchmarks, both Ryzen 9 processors were run on different motherboards. The Ryzen 9 5950X was tested on an ASUS ROG STRIX X570I Gaming motherboard with 16 GB RAM running at 3866 MHz while the Ryzen 9 5900X was benchmarked on MSI’s X570 GODLIKE motherboard with 16 GB memory running at 3600 MHz speed.
The Ryzen 9 5950X scored 1575 points in the single-threaded and 13,605 points in the multi-threaded tests in Geekbench 5. In the benchmark, the CPU can be seen running at 4.983 GHz in the multithread test while in the single core test, the CPU hit 5.01 GHz peak clock.
The AMD Ryzen 9 5900X scored 1605 points in the single-threaded and 12,869 points in the multi-threaded tests and the CPU was boosting above its rated boost clocks with the highest core clock reported at 4.947 GHz in the multi-threaded and 4.95 GHz in the single-threaded test.
Comparing these benchmarks to the previous generation CPUs, the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X is around 20% faster than the AMD Ryzen 9 3950X in the single-threaded and around 10% faster in multi-threaded tests. AMD Ryzen 9 5900X is around 20-25% faster in single-core and round 6-8% faster on average in multi-core performance than the Ryzen 9 3900X.
These benchmarks bode well for the Ryzen 9 processors in the 5000 series and looks like Intel’s dominance is near to being over as the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X offers a 15-20% single-core performance bump and around a 15% performance bump in multi-threaded tests than Intel’s current flagship, Core i9-10900K. The AMD Ryzen 5000 Desktop CPUs, codenamed Vermeer, are launching on the 5th of November.
