AMD Ryzen 9 9900X Benchmarked in Geekbench 6, Beats Intel's Best in Single-Core Score
As AMD prepares to roll out its next-generation Ryzen 9000 series of CPUs based on Zen 5 architecture, we are starting to see some systems being tested by third-party OEMs and system integrators. Today, we have Geekbench 6 scores of the Ryzen 9 9900X CPU, and the 12-core, 24-thread processor that has demonstrated impressive performance gains. Boasting a base clock of 4.4 GHz and a boost clock of up to 5.6 GHz, the CPU features only 120 W TDP, a significant reduction from the previous 170 W of the previous generation. In Geekbench 6 tests, the Ryzen 9 9900X achieved a single-core score of 3,401 and a multicore score of 19,756.
These results place it ahead of Intel's current flagship Core i9-14900KS, which scored 3,189 points in single-core performance. Regarding multicore tasks, the i9-14900K scored 21,890 points, still higher than AMD's upcoming 12-core SKU. The benchmark of AMD's CPU was conducted on an ASUS ROG Crosshair X670E Gene motherboard with 32 GB of DDR5 memory. As anticipation builds for the official release, these early benchmarks suggest that AMD will deliver a compelling product that balances high performance with improved energy efficiency. The top tier models will still carry a 170 W TDP, while some high-end and middle-end SKUs get a TDP reduction like the Ryzen 7 9700X and Ryzen 5 9600X dial down to 65 W, decreased from 105 W in their previous iterations.

105 Comments on AMD Ryzen 9 9900X Benchmarked in Geekbench 6, Beats Intel's Best in Single-Core Score
We are at a point right now that the brand new shining R7 9700x will not just be losing to last years 14700, or the 2 generations old 13700k, but I'm not even sure it will confidently beat the 12700k from 2021 in MT. What the hell is this?
But you are correct, if this chip does not beat a 3-year-old CPU, then it's a failure. I'm very interested in how Zen 5 will compete against Intel's upcoming offerings a little later this year, as that's the fair fight, not looking backwards, but it will be disappointing if AMD lose against existing products. We also have to see how removing HT will affect performance. HT is worth up to +-30% or so, and all I have heard from Intel is something about a 20% IPC improvement, and it is very unlikely that clockspeeds will go up. So, where the other 10% is going to come from is unknown.
I'm looking forward to the independent benchmarks, I think it's going to be a good year for CPU's, depending on price.
Small difference in Cinebench or the geekbench MT numbers are meaningless - expecially the former, as it's not even affected by memory performance that is also quite important ie access times for games and music production and bandwith for graphical / video stuff.

the cheapest AMD 6 core has better ST than the 100 euros more intel one
takes 150 euros difference for intel to beat the 7600 non X: browser.geekbench.com/processors/intel-core-i5-14600k
yes, AMD is dominating the consumer market for people that actually have a choiche and build their own machine
in my country they have 8 out of the10 best selling CPUs on amazon for that reason
You know, most people don't do that. But yeah, arguing with intel fans gets this kind of nonsense.
For Intel
For AMD
The fastest AMD chip gets 9th place....
Let's now use techpowerup's ST numbers
Still 7th place...
I compare consumer cpus at similar value, well actually AMD that cost 50% less beat intel ones there. That's again why people that can actually read numbers and connect them in a meaningful way choose AMD.
I guess that's why Intel has 70% of the desktop market.
AMD's best selling chip is the 7800x 3d, which is literally at the bottom of the list in ST performance. So your whole argument makes 0 sense. If ST was important then the 7800x 3d wouldn't be selling at all.

The market is made mostly by people that do not choose their parts - heck, they don't even choose the machine, the IT in their company does.
Yes, 7800x3d has incredible advantage in the mosti important metric for DIY market, gaming performance that doesn't need memory tuning. That is why the incredible intel cpus are not there.
The performance here is so poor, another skip generation.
AMD is still doing a whole lot more than Intel ever did even though they really don't have to, they could probably keep the 7800X3D for another 2 years or so with nothing else new and it would still be a top seller. I am impressed they're not sitting on their asses and are still actively developing new CPUs.
Zen 5 performs that way thanks to the beta testers for Zen 4..now, Zen 5 buyers, you beta test for Zen 6.. :roll:
