AMD The running scores of the two Zen 4 desktop processors, Ryzen 9 7950X and Ryzen 7 7700X, have been exposed again. Well-known whistleblower @Harukaze5719 shared the CPU-Z running scores of these two processors. The score and OPN code have been hidden at the request of the source, and the previously listed single-core and multi-threaded have also been hidden.
● AMD Ryzen 9 7950X 16 Core "Zen 4" Desktop CPU
First, we start with the flagship model. The AMD Ryzen 9 7950 retains the 16-core and 32-thread count of the previous two generations. The CPU base clock frequency is 4.5 GHz, with a boost clock of up to 5.7 GHz, which would make it 200 MHz faster than Intel's Alder Lake Core i9-12900KS, which has a 5.5 GHz turbo frequency on a single core.
It looks like AMD is squeezing all the performance out of the Ryzen 9 chip within its 170W TDP (230W PPT). As for cache, the CPU comes with 80 MB, including 64 MB from L3 (32 MB per CCD) and 16 MB from L2 (1 MB per core).
● AMD Ryzen 7 7700X 8 Core"Zen 4"Desktop CPU
AMD Ryzen 7 7700X is 8 cores and 16 threads. AMD is positioning it as the best choice for gamers, so the CPU will have a base clock of 4.5 GHz and a boost clock of 5.4 GHz, but with a lower TDP (142W PPT). The CPU will get a 40 MB cache, consisting of 32 MB L3 from the single CCD and 8 MB L2 from the Zen 4 cores.
The two AMD Ryzen 7000 Zen 4 desktop CPUs tested here are both ES samples and do not appear to be affected by the issue reported yesterday. We don't know what clocks they're running at, nor the test configuration, but it's mentioned that these chips scored around 750-780 points in the single-core test. Using this as a basis for a multi-thread comparison, we come up with the following numbers:
So, in the best case scenario, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X will have over 40% faster multi-thread performance than the Ryzen 9 5950X, and the Ryzen 7 7700X will be better than the Ryzen 7 The 5800X is over 20% faster. That's a huge difference in multi-threaded performance gains (generation over generation) between the two CPUs, which again points to the fact that these aren't final results but just early performance numbers. Yesterday's results also showed a 26% improvement in multi-threaded performance in Cinebench R20, so a 22% improvement in multi-threaded performance here isn't far off.
