A performance test leaked in the BaseMark database allowed us to see the performance Ryzen 5 7600X, the highly anticipated next-generation processor that will fit into the mid-range and will use a 6-core, 12-thread configuration. This chip will be based on architecture zen 4, which means that:

• Compared to the Ryzen 5, the 5600X will offer an IPC improvement of 8% to 10%, with an overall single thread performance increase of around 15%.
• It will be manufactured on TSMC’s 5nm node (the I/O chiplet will use a 6nm node).
• It will be able to reach higher operating frequencies than the Ryzen 5 5600X, although the leaked technical samples always operate at a lower speed for stability reasons.

The leak confirms that the Ryzen 5 7600X Engineering Sample ran on the motherboard GIGABYTE X670E AORUS Master, and that it was accompanied by an NVIDIA RTX A4000 graphics card and 32 GB of RAM. The operating system used was Windows 10 Enterprise and the processor worked 4.4 GHzrelatively low speed for what we expect from AMD’s new generation (in the final version it should easily exceed 5 GHz).

Ryzen 5 7600X is up to 11.13% faster than Ryzen 9 5950X in BaseMark

This isn’t one of the most popular tests when it comes to measuring CPU performance, but it gives us an idea of ​​what we can expect from the Ryzen 5 7600X. It is important that you keep this in mind that winning happens in “games”that is, in an environment where it is not the maximum number of cores and threads, but the performance of a single thread that prevails, once we reach the optimal level of 6 cores and 12 threads.

Obviously, in tests that can use all the CPU’s cores and threads, the Ryzen 9 5950X will outperform the Ryzen 5 7600X because it has 16 threads and 32 cores, while the latter only has 6 cores and 12 threads. This improvement of up to 11.13% is a far cry from the 15% that AMD promised, but given that the Ryzen 5 7600X sample only ran at 4.4GHz is a pretty good result.

The introduction of the new Ryzen 7000 processors, based on the Zen 4 architecture, should take place sometime in September and their launch will take place on the 15th of the given month. Retail prices have yet to be revealed, but we do know that AMD will launch a total of four models: the Ryzen 9 7950X with 16 cores and 32 threads; Ryzen 9 7900X, with 12 cores and 24 threads; Ryzen 7 7800X, with 8 cores and 16 threads; and Ryzen 5 7600X with 6 cores and 12 threads.
