Preliminary results of a sample unit of one of AMD’s next-generation processors have been uploaded to the UserBenchmark website. This is the Ryzen 5 7600X processor, which should be third in the hierarchy of the company’s powerful desktop processors, and even lower than that, and according to the numbers on the website, it achieved much better performance compared to Intel’s flagship 12th generation desktop processor.
According to the uploaded results, the 7600X achieved a score of 243 points in the single-core performance test, compared to 200 points achieved in the same test by Intel’s Core i9-12900K, which is more than a 20% difference. Compared to the corresponding processor from AMD’s previous generation of desktop processors, the Ryzen 5 5600X, the improvement is about 55%.
Ryzen 5 7600X is based on six Zen 4 cores, which are 12 logical cores, with a base speed of 4.4 GHz and a turbo speed of 4.95 GHz. At the level of the multi-core tests, it obviously lost to the Core i9-12900K on its 16 cores and 24 work threads, by about 45%, but it offers an improvement of about 25% compared to the 5600X.
It should be noted that in the multi-core tests, at least on the UserBenchmark website, the Ryzen 9 5950X still offers a good result from Intel’s current flagship processor, albeit by a small margin. I wonder what will happen when the first tests of the 12th generation processors of AMD’s great competitor arrive at the site.
