Zen3-based AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-core spotted in AotS benchmarks, bypassing 10-core Core i9-10900K
Just a week after the Ryzen 7 5700U processor was spotted in the Ashes of the Singularity benchmark results, an entry regarding the Ryzen 7 5800X was also found in the database. The leak seems to confirm that AMD is actually going to skip the Ryzen 4000 naming convention for its desktop solutions.
The new Ryzen 5000 naming scheme will match the expected Cezanne (Zen 3) and Lucienne (Zen 2 – Renoir Refresh) mobile processors. The lineup should now be less confusing for consumers. Unfortunately, the AotS benchmark does not capture any device characteristics such as CPU or GPU frequency, nor does it report the motherboard model being used for these tests.
We can only say that we have tested several presets like Crazy 1080p, 1440p, and 4K. The benchmark offers frame rate data for GPU and CPU modes. The Ryzen 7 5800X reportedly scored 5900 points – on par with Intel’s 10-core Core i9-10900K flagship without overclocking. Both configurations worked in conjunction with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 graphics card.
The Ryzen 7 5800X will be 8-core while the Ryzen 9 5900X will be 12-core. There were already rumors about a 16-core version of Vermeer – most likely, it will enter the market under the name Ryzen 9 5950X, but so far this name has not appeared in leaks.
AMD’s Vermeer series of desktop processors will be designed for the AM4 pad, will feature a new Zen 3 core architecture with increased instruction-per-clock values, and will use an improved 7nm process technology. Processor clock speeds are expected to be slightly higher than Matisse (Ryzen 3000). AMD will officially unveil Zen 3 desktop processors on October 8 during a special event.
