An AMD Ryzen 7000 CPU, most likely the Ryzen 5 7600X, has appeared in the Basemark benchmark, with 6 Zen 4 cores, 12 threads, and a 4.4GHz ES clock speed. The debut of AMD Ryzen 7000 CPU in the Basemark Benchmark database was spotted by TUM_APISAK. According to the available information, the chip is an engineering sample with the OPN ID "100-000000593-20_Y". The benchmark test provides information such as CPU core and clock speed.
This seems to be a 6-core and 12-thread chip based on the Zen 4 core architecture. The CPU will carry 32MB of L3 cache and 6MB of L2 cache, for a total of 38MB of combined cache. That's about 9% more than the stock Ryzen 5 5600X CPU, which has the same 32 MB L3 cache but 512 KB of L3 cache per core. On Zen 4 core architecture, the L2 cache per core has been increased to 1MB. As for the clock speed, the database shows it operating at a 4.4 GHz clock, but makes no mention of its base or boost frequency, which is likely the highest frequency the chip will run at. Since the part is an ES engineering sample, we can expect retail samples of that. The clock is close to or exceeds 5GHz.
Looking at the specs alone, this appears to be the first time we've seen an AMD Ryzen 5 7600X CPU, which should be a hot seller in the mainstream range, priced around $300-$350.
AMD Ryzen 7000 desktop CPUs, including the Ryzen 5 7600X, should hit retail by September 2022, as previous rumors have indicated.
