Already There are only a few days left until the arrival of the first integrated Ryzen 7000 series on the market, a new generation of AMD CPUs, which were introduced at the end of August and with which the technology intends to make things really complicated for Raptor Lake, which surprisingly will see the light of day next week. This generation will not only mark a jump to the Zen 4 architecture, but also an exclusive commitment to DDR5 memories, a clear sign that AMD wants these new integrated memories to go head-to-head with Intel in the performance arena.

In this first phase, four chips will hit the market, they are as follows:

• Ryzen 5 7600X: It has 6 cores and 12 threads running at 4.7GHz-5.3GHz, normal and turbo mode, adds 32MB of L3 cache and 6MB of L2 cache, and has a TDP of 105 watts.
• Ryzen 7 7700X: This processor has 8 cores and 16 threads running at 4.5 GHz-5.4 GHz, normal and turbo mode, has 32 MB L3 cache and 8 MB L2 cache, and its TDP is 105 watts.
• Ryzen 9 7900X: It has 12 cores and 24 threads at 4.7 GHz-5.6 GHz, normal and turbo mode, has 64 MB L3 cache and 12 MB L2 cache, and its TDP is 170 watts.
• Ryzen 9 7950X: It has 16 cores and 32 threads at 4.5 GHz-5.7 GHz, normal and turbo mode, has 64 MB L3 cache and 16 MB L2 cache, and has a TDP of 170 watts.

Although all four are very interesting integrated, it is inevitable that, as with any new generation of any technological component, much of the interest falls directly on its top of the range, in this case the Ryzen 9 7950X, which with its 16 cores and 32 threads and its up to 5 .7 GHz in turbo mode promises to be a great flagship of this generation. And so that expectations do not fall, but on the contrary, today we learned about some surprising performance tests.

And so it is that while waiting for the processors to start reaching amateurs and professionals alike overclockingwhich will push this new generation to the limit, in tests that would be carried out by AMD itself and the results of which can be found in HWBOT (links can be found in each of the entries), Ryzen 9 7950X has already managed to grab four gold medals for desktop processors in various performance tests, in addition to the fact that it additionally did it using standard liquid cooling AIO solutions (280 millimeters), this means that these results can be reproduced by any user, even more so by stating them with which components they were these results obtained. These are the four records of this new processor:

• 40,498 in Cinebench R23 nT with Ryzen 9 7950X at 5.4GHz and all active cores, using 280mm AIO liquid cooler, motherboard ASROCK X670E Taichi and 32 GB of memory Kingston DDR5.
• 15,771 in Cinebench R20 nT with Ryzen 9 7950X at 5.35 GHz and all active cores, using a 280mm AIO liquid cooler, motherboard GIGABYTE X670E AORUS Master and 32 GB of memory G.SKILL DDR5.
• 6,900 in Cinebench R15 nT with Ryzen 9 7950X at 5.5GHz and all cores active, using a 280mm AIO liquid cooler, motherboard Hero ASUS ROG Crosshair X670E and 16GB of memory G.SKILL DDR5.
• 228,992 MIPS in 7-Zip with Ryzen 9 7950X at 5.45 GHz and all cores active, using a 280mm AIO liquid cooler, motherboard MSI MEG X670E ACE and 32 GB of memory Corsair DDR5.

As you can see, the first three entries were obtained with CineBench R23, R20 and R15 respectively. Meanwhile, the fourth was done using the popular file compressor 7-Zip.

If you are not familiar with HWBOT and you are accessing the links to see the results, you have to consider a very important point, yes. If you check the “Ranking Position” section, you will see that on one side it talks about WR RANK and on the other hand GLOBAL 16X CPU RANK and that the Ryzen 9 7950X got the first position in the second ranking, but not in the first one. This is quickly explained if you go to any of the WR RANK category rankings, as you will only find AMD Threadripper and EPYC, as well as Intel Xeon, in positions above the top of the Ryzen 7000 series. The Ryzen 9 7950X is the first desktop chip in the chart.

With these results, AMD has achieved a very good goal, proving the top performance of its new generation of desktop CPUs It won’t be easy for Intel. Now, of course, the ball is in the court of the Intel Core i9-13900KS, a chip that Intel says could hit 6 gigahertz from the factory and could go up to eight when overclocked.
