Ryzen 9 9950X hits 7.54GHz to break numerous world records – Zen 5 flagship raises the bar for 16-core CPUs
Ryzen 9 9950X hits 7.54GHz, setting multiple world records — the flagship Zen 5 processor raises the bar for 16-core CPUs.
Asus' overclocking team has broken several world records with AMD's Ryzen 9 9950X CPU, shared by ROG Global on X. The machine achieved five global first-place finishes, including a world-record frequency result of 7,548.65 MHz (7.5 GHz) and a Cinebench R23 score of 60,709 points.
La configuración de prueba comprendió un Ryzen 9 9950X de 16 núcleos emparejado con el nuevo ROG Crosshair X870E Hero de Asus y refrigeración por nitrógeno líquido, con temperaturas que alcanzaban los 189 grados Celsius negativos.
The CPU frequency and Cinebench R23 scores were accompanied by a world-record Geekbench 3 Multi-Core score of 170,646 points, a 7-Zip score of 321,970 MIPS, a Cinebench R20 score of 23,550 points, and a HWBot x265 4K benchmark of 77.57 FPS. All benchmark results were achieved via the Safedisk overclocker, while the Elmor overclocker achieved the record frequency result.
The frequency result of Elmor's Ryzen 9 9950X represents the overclock of CPU highest exclusive to Ryzen. Previous records show that the latest record for Ryzen was 7.45 GHz with the Ryzen 9 9950X. Elmor's new record roughly beats the previous one by an additional 100 MHz.
The rest of the tests were world record results in the 16-core CPU category. The 7-Zip, R20, R23, Geekbench 3, and HWBot results are not the actual world record results, but simply for the 16-core CPU category. You will see higher results if you look at the results with higher core count chips.
Regardless, the world record results are still impressive. Safedisk’s 7-Zip result is 450 points higher than the previous record, achieved by Dr. Antoine, also with a Ryzen 9 9950X. Safedisk was able to push his 9950X to 6.8 GHz, allowing him to beat the result of the previous overclocker, who ran at 6.725 GHz.
Safedisk’s R20 result was 274 points higher than the previous record result, also achieved on the 9950X. Once again, Safedisk achieved a higher frequency of 6.925 GHz to surpass the previous record result, which was achieved at 6.895 GHz.
For the R23 record, Safedisk’s result was 545 points higher than the previous result, also achieved on a 9950X. This time, however, Safedisk was able to score extra points by means other than clock speed, and both its result and the previous one ran at an identical 6.925 GHz.
Safedisk’s multi-core Geekbench 3 result is 3,579 points higher than the previous record, held by renowned overclocker Splave. Finally, the Safedisk HWBot X265 4K result was 0.982 FPS higher than the previous record result, also set by Dr. Antoine.
AMD's X870 and X870E motherboards debuted today to accommodate the latest processors Ryzen 9000 from the chipmaker. There are wide options ranging from $219 to $699 for the Ryzen 9 9950X.
