AMD Ryzen 5 5600X Takes the Crown of the Fastest CPU in Passmark Single-Thread Results
AMD has been improving its Zen core design, and with the latest Zen 3 IP found in Ryzen 5000 series CPUs, it seems like the company struck gold. Thanks to the reporting of VideoCardz, we come to know that AMD's upcoming Ryzen 5 5600X CPU has been benchmarked and compared to other competing offerings. In the CPU benchmark called PassMark, which rates all of the CPUs by multi-threaded and single-threaded performance, AMD's Ryzen 5 5600X CPU has taken the crown of the fastest CPU in the single-threaded results chart. Scoring an amazing 3495 points, it is now the fastest CPU for 1T workloads. That puts the CPU above Intel's current best—Core i9-10900K—which scores 3177 points. This puts the Zen 3 core about 10% ahead of the competition.
As a reminder, the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X CPU is a six-core, twelve threaded design that has a base clock of 3.7 GHz and boosts the frequency of the cores to 4.6 GHz, all within the TDP of 65 Watts. The CPU has 32 MB of level-3 (L3) cache and 3 MB of L2 cache.

AMD is going to sway lots of PC Gamers onto ZEN3 & RDNA2.
Fair Competition is Great. Userbenchmark changed a lot of things because Intel & Nvidia were bickering about it. They need to leave it alone and test the raw performance and not favor Intel & Nvidia anymore. Time for a ZEN3 upgrade :toast:
I hope msi releases a bios for my b450 before january 2021 so i can purchase that 5600x or the 5900x.
Also, I don't remember the 9900K (also locked here) being inferior to the 3700X.. looks like BS to me.
Has the 3700X ever been 21 % faster than the 9900K in anything?
I've been thinking for a while now that passmark is just like geekbench: it doesn't really tell us anything.
