AMD Ryzen 9 5900X CPU-Z Bench Score Leaks, 27% Higher 1T Performance Over 3700X
With AMD expected to announce its 5th Generation Ryzen "Vermeer" desktop processors next week, the rumor-mill is grinding the finest spices. This time, an alleged CPU-Z Bench score of a 12-core/24-thread Ryzen 9 5900X processor surfaced. CPU-Z by CPUID has a lightweight internal benchmark that evaluates the single-threaded and multi-threaded performance of the processor, and provides reference scores from a selection of processors for comparison. The alleged 5900X sample is shown belting out a multi-threaded (nT) score of 9481.8 points, and single-threaded (1T) score of 652.8 points.
When compared to the internal reference score by CPUID for the Ryzen 7 3700X 8-core/16-thread processor, which is shown with 511 points 1T and 5433 points nT, the alleged 5900X ends up with a staggering 27% higher 1T score, and a 74% higher nT score. While the nT score is largely attributable to the 50% higher core-count, the 1T score is interesting. We predict that besides possibly higher clock-speeds for the 5900X, the "Zen 3" microarchitecture does offer a certain amount of IPC gain over "Zen 2" to account for the 27%. AMD's IPC parity with Intel is likely to tilt in its favor with "Zen 3," until Intel can whip something up with its "Cypress Cove" CPU cores on the 14 nm "Rocket Lake-S" processor.

As for Patriot, I've used a couple variants of their Viper Steel/Blackout (at 3466 and 3600, I think) and found them flawless in MSI, problematic on lower-end Gigabyte and all of the Asrock platforms. YMMV but I suspect it's more about the silicon lottery of each particular batch/bin than a particular guaranteed make/model. I've certainly heard reports of the 'gold standard' (G.Skill Trident Z Royal) failing to post at XMP profile, which is what makes me think that luck of the draw, coupled with easy-to-quit memory training that's the problem. when Ryzen launched, Lisa Su specifically explained that the name was a play on "new Horizon". I'm not sure if the codename was already Zen at that point or whether Zen was born of that phrase....
"All similarities are in your imagination and there only":
They can spell it how they want , the shit in your mind twists it into mattering.
There won't be bios support for x400 boards at launch from what I've seen.
If AMD could made that 180° turn and with the Radeon group that would be nice.
It's only 20% when calculated from 10.
I'm not a betting man but I suspect the 5600 will run boost at ~4.5GHz and the best bins like the 5900X and 5950X will maybe run at 5GHz single-threaded.
I'd like to be wrong, but the historic evidence is absolutely overwhelming, and we're likely looking at a 200-300MHz bump over Zen2. For games at least, that translates to a 5700X running 4-8 threads at ~4.6Ghz, which isn't too shabby when added to the claimed IPC improvements.
There's not a long way from 4.6 to 5ghz you know. AMD done clock bump earlier with other Ryzens so maybe this time around it can be the same story.
TBH, I'm not even that fussed about high clockspeeds - all it does it drive up power consumption and drive down efficiency. I'm definitely interested in the lower latency and the 1T IPC gains.
Single td performance still quite the same as a 10700k... 580 in cpuz and 218 chinebench 20 single
