AMD Ryzen 9 7950X Geekbenched, Crushes i9-12900K, in the League of the i9-13900K
An AMD Ryzen 9 7950X "Zen 4" 16-core/32-thread processor was put through the Geekbench 5.4.5 benchmark, and it's becoming all too clear that AMD has a highly competitive product on its hands. The 7950X yielded a single-threaded score of 2217 points, and 24396 points in the multi-threaded tests. With these scores, the 7950X is about 14% faster than the "Golden Cove" P-cores of the i9-12900K "Alder Lake" processor in the single-threaded tests, and comes out as being 41% faster than it in the multi-threaded test. Against the leaked i9-13900K "Raptor Lake," the 7950X is shown being about 4% slower in the single-threaded test (against the "Raptor Cove" P-cores); and about 7.8% slower in the multi-threaded test.

Ryzen 5 7600X 6-core / 12-thread will have very serious problems to be competitive.
AMD is in a trouble!
You are looking at performance difference +50% and lower cost!
What do you mean by this cliche "unreleased"? What is not released? We know everything already!
Ok , Raptor Lake wasn't out yet, now waiting for Raptor Lake little boys.....
Having said that, I think we should wait for official results, and ultimately, independent and official review/comparison of Zen 4 and Raptor Lake. I sense both will be very close in terms of performance if we are looking at the top end, i.e. i7 and i9 vs Ryzen 9. Intel may have the advantage of more physical cores in the form of efficient cores to give them a bump in multicore performance. However if the E-cores pretty much stick to the "Skylake" level performance, then the much faster Zen 4 cores would surely close the gap between what we see now when comparing Alder Lake with Zen 3.
