Two upcoming AMDRyzen7000 processors appeared in leaked benchmarks. In some of the tests, they destroyed the processors from the current generation.
Thanks to a well-known Twitter tipster, we now have one of our first looks at the performance of two upcoming AMD Ryzen 7000 CPUs, the Ryzen 9 7950X and the Ryzen 7 7700X. Thanks to leaked benchmarks, we can compare the new processors to their Ryzen 5000 counterparts.
With that said, the two processors in question are likely going to be some of the best AMD CPUs we’ve seen in a while. The Ryzen 9 7950X is expected to arrive with 16 cores and 32 threads as well as a base clock speed of 4.5GHz that may go up to 5.7GHz in boost mode. The CPU will also feature a massive cache, currently said to be at 80MB combined . The TDP is rumored to be at 170 watts. The Ryzen 7 7700X is supposed to come with eight cores and 16 threads, a clock of 4.5GHz and 5.
Assuming the figures are correct, the new Ryzen CPUs do a decent job in single-core operations but will be slightly outperformed by the best Intel CPUs from the current generation as well as their upcoming Raptor Lake counterparts. With a score of 780, AMD falls a hair behind Core i9-12900k and more so behind the Core i9-13900k .
