Ryzen 9 7950X Overclocked to 6.7 GHz Crushes Cinebench R23 with Over 50K nT Score

Sep 26th, 2022 01:40 Discuss (25 Comments)

The world-records set by those with access to AMD Ryzen 9 7950X "Zen 4" 16-core/32-thread processors, keep tumbling in. The latest such is a Cinebench R23 nT score of a stunning 50395 points. This was achieved with a 6.70 GHz overclock under extreme cooling using an LN2 evaporator. Another feat from the same source sees a 6.45 GHz all-core overclock under extreme cooling, which yields an impressive 48235 points in the same test. Both feats come from Sampson, who's been leading HWBot charts under the AMD Overclocking team.

The highest known/leaked Cinebench R23 score yielded with a Core i9-13900K "Raptor Lake" sample so far, is 40616 points, although serious official OC feats with the processor are yet to start. The Intel chip is already in the news for an 8 GHz frequency record. Any attempt to take the crown from the 7950X will involve pushing the 8 P-cores to insane frequencies, but then it will boil down to the 16 E-cores, and just how far those can be pushed. The highest post-launch CB R23 score obtained on a current-gen i9-12900K is 26299, and for the 5950X this is 26291.

ZOOOOooommm! :shadedshu:

Here is an idea for these people, have the whole rig in a (very)cold environment like in a freezer/ freezer room(or move to Antarctica and do the overclocking outdoors in the middle of winter), cold air can not hold so much water as warm air, this reduces condensation, the other benefit is that the motherboard can "help" in cooling. I haven't checked how much water a room at -20 degree C can hold compared to 20 degree C, but my guess its an significant amount.

At 30C moisture holding capacity of air is around 4% while at -40C its less than .2%

That's a bad sign. When they have nothing really interesting to tout about, they become desperate to show overclocking that no one seems to ever care about... :banghead:

I think the amount of impracticality that would cause would impair the process.

even though you only joined in 2020, im sure you werent born yesterday and know this is always what gets released first on every performance cpu launch ever for the last 2+ decades...

I haven't noticed. You know that every chip can overclock, how is that newsworthy?

vmarv

Cool, but having the money I think that I would go for the regular Threadripper. I don't like the idea of keeping a bucket of liquid idrogen and a fire estinguisher over the desk. :D

Eh, its not interesting for most people, but there are enthousiasts out there who like to know how far something can be pushed, what new records can be set.
Sure its all overclockable, but how far can one go? and how much does one gain? and at what cost?

its not practical, neither are cars that can reach 300 miles an hour, but ya know, just fun, seeing where enginering is at the moment.

While I am not someone who overclocks anymore and was never an enthusiast overclocker seeing how high the chips can overclock does tell us something about these chips. These ryzen 7000 cpus are going to perform really well, I predict that AMD will win up to 8 cores involved in the workload however I do think that the 24 core 32 thread Intel 13900K will win in multithreaded work loads and may win in single threaded workloads slightly. 13th gen seems to largely be 12th gen with some tweaks and more small cores involved, so I don't expect to see as big of a performance jump for Intel going from 12th to 13th then again Intel doesn't need as big of a performance jump. I am the most interested though with ryzen 7000 3D v cache.

Mmm, I don't know, buddy! Clocks like these make me really moist. :D

Also, when talking relative humidity it's fair to account for atmospheric (and peer) pressure as well.

'Normal' Performance numbers are under NDA and cannot be shown before 27th unless AMD specify.

So what kind of info you expect to see from the 'AMD OC team' just a day ahead of launch?

More 'Leaks'? or some useless PPT ?

Nonsense. I call the bad product what it is. When you present some good news about the AMD RDNA 3, I will be happy :D

I've always wanted to take one of those fanless PC cases that are basically a giant heat sink like the Monster Labo, strap a bunch of 3000RPM Noctua's to it and just place it inside a gigantic, industrial walk-in freezer and see what could be achieved....

From the little I know, and any insider can correct me, it is currently disabled, will unlock sometime soon

I don't know where videocardz got these numbers from, but they are clearly wrong. HwBot has scores as high as 40k for the 12900KS and 39k for the 5950X

Wishing AMD will release a full and unlocked Dragon Range (with 3d cache ofc) on AM5. MS and Sony probably paying them NOT to release something like that on desktop.

Stock scores I believe, OC, especially with LN2, have much higher numbers.

If I read it right it was the score reported for respective CPU at stock clock before launch of said CPU.

Nonsense. I call the bad product what it is.

Nonsense. How is it a bad product? Because Intel didn’t make it? Or because some enthusiasts dropped a pot with some LN2 on it and pushed a little? Who cares if they are not real world numbers.

Spoken like a true Intel fanboy.

Do pepper ridge farm remember bulldozer high clocks? :D

I do...

That's Pepperidge, not Pepper Ridge - Pepperidge Farms remembers that too - Get it right next time please.

Like Bartles & Jaymes "I thank you for your support". :D

I mean really - I don't understand all the "Fanboy" stuff, one is just as good as the other for about anyone and all the fanboyism doesn't change a thing about it.

It is what it is.

8 GHz frequency record

Is that frequency record for that chip or are they claiming to have broken the nearly decade old 8,722.78MHz CPU frequency record? Because if they didn't break that record, they don't have one.

I haven't noticed.

Then you haven't been paying attention. Take a trip to Google and search practically any flagship CPU since Pentium 4 and "LN2" or "dry ice", filter by date. Extreme overclocking has been a mainstay of new product launches for quite literally multiple decades.
