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.

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.

The world record results are still impressive, though. 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 its 9950X to 6.8GHz, which allowed it to surpass the result of the previous overclocker, who ran at 6.725GHz.

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.
