AMD Ryzen 9000 Zen 5 Single Thread Performance at 5.80 GHz Found 19% Over Zen 4
An AMD Ryzen 9000 "Granite Ridge" desktop processor engineering sample with a maximum boost frequency of 5.80 GHz was found to offer an astonishing 19% higher single-threaded performance increase over an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X. "Granite Ridge" is codename for the Socket AM5 desktop processor family that implements the new "Zen 5" CPU microarchitecture. The unnamed "Granite Ridge" processor comes with an OPN code of 100-0000001290. Its CPU core count is irrelevant, as the single-threaded performance is in question here. The processor boosts up to 5.80 GHz, which means the core handling the single-threaded benchmark workload is achieving this speed. This speed is 100 MHz higher than the 5.70 GHz that the Ryzen 9 7950X processor based on the "Zen 4" architecture, boosts up to.
The single-threaded benchmark in question is the CPU-Z Bench. The mostly blurred out CPU-Z screenshot that reveals the OPN also mentions a processor TDP of 170 W, which means this engineering sample chip is either 12-core or 16-core. The chip posts a CPU-Z Bench single-thread score of 910 points, which matches that of the Intel Core i9-14900K with its 908 points. You've to understand that the i9-14900K boosts one of its P-cores to 6.00 GHz, to yield the 908 points that's part CPU-Z's reference scores. So straight off the bat, we see that "Zen 5" has a higher IPC than the "Raptor Cove" P-core powering the i9-14900K. Its gaming performance might end up higher than the Ryzen 7000 X3D family.
Many Thanks to TumbleGeorge for the tip.

which one is it?
Also this was 14900K boosting to 6Ghz where as 9950X reportedly boosts to 5.8Ghz (likely at lower power than 14900K , too).
Also CPU-z benchmark is for years considered one of the Intel friendly ones.
While I doubt, I hope AMD to be considering bringing the X3D chips the same day with the regular ones. They can put a ridiculous high price if they want on them, but it will be stupid if they don't announce them together with the regular ones. They have to finally start understanding the power of marketing. Zen 5 will have a totally different, much higher level of acceptance, if an 8 core 9800X3D annihilates everything in gaming benchmarks with differences of 20-50%. If they fear internal competition, they can start that chip at $550. Zen 4 and AM5 would had much higher success if the X3D chips where introduced together with the new platform.
Intel didn't drag AMD to anything. Users and tech press did. They are so desperate to keep offering wins to Intel, that they made efficiency look like a secondary, unimportant feature.Tom's is pro-Intel at least 20+ years now. The title that, that article uses, is what Intel trolls post left and right from yesterday.
7950X: 5750Mhz
7700X: 5550Mhz
7700: 5350Mhz
7800X3D: 5050Mhz
Not to mention the AMD firstly let the Zen4 to boost even more with the base 100Mhz clock tuning. This door was closed after the AGESA 1.0.0.3, after that only the eCLK tuning remained.

Nevertheless, I think AMD is extremely passive and doesn't do anything in its fundamental interests.
Why not release an AMD sponsored benchmark called x86-64-Z, or something like this?
It is much more powerful advertising to beat Intel on their own turf. A truly good processor should be able to, right? Now that doesn't mean I'm saying use CPU Z. But you wouldn't want 'AMD-Z' for the very same reason.
What I want is a truely neutral benchmark, which can happen only if it is AMD sponsored.
