AMD Ryzen 5950X, 5900X, and 5800X SiSoftware Results: Perceptible Superiority Over Zen 2
AMD unveiled its new Ryzen 5000 desktop processor family this month, based on the 7nm Zen 3 architecture. The full launch will not take place until November 5th, but more and more information on the performance of these chips is coming in. This time the results were found in the SiSoftware database.
Informant @TUM_APISAK noticed the benchmark results for the Ryzen 9 5950X, Ryzen 9 5900X, and Ryzen 7 5800X. All three processors have been tested on the MSI MEX X570 UNIFI motherboard. It is worth considering that we do not know the clock speed of the RAM, but the AMD Ryzen 5000 series benefits greatly from high-frequency memory, and this factor can significantly affect the performance.
In arithmetic tasks, according to SiSoftware, the 16-core Ryzen 9 5950X outperforms the similar Ryzen 9 3950X by 1.09 times; The 12-core Ryzen 9 5900X outperforms the Ryzen 9 3900X by 1.18x, and the 8-core Ryzen 7 5800X outperforms last year’s Ryzen 7 3800X by 1.19x.
In multimedia computing, the 16-core Ryzen 9 5950X bypasses the similar Ryzen 9 3950X by 1.25 times; The 12-core Ryzen 9 5900X outperforms the Ryzen 9 3900X by 1.35x, and the 8-core Ryzen 7 5800X outperforms last year’s Ryzen 7 3800X by 1.42x.
All these results inspire optimism – let’s hope that we will indeed get excellent processors that will be able to surpass their Intel counterparts not only due to a more affordable price (today, unfortunately, this is already questionable) but also in absolute performance even in those tasks where Intel chips were traditionally stronger.
