Ryzen 9 9950X: A Huge Leap Over the 7950X in the New Benchmark

Later in July, the Ryzen 9 9950X, Ryzen 9 9900X, Ryzen 7 9700X, and Ryzen 5 9600X, the first models of the all-new architecture, are expected to hit store shelves. Zain 5During Computex 2024, when AMD When it first introduced its processors, it promised that the new generation would deliver a 16% improvement in instructions per cycle (IPC). This is one of the most important metrics when it comes to CPU performance. But how does this translate into reality?

The first answer came from Igor Kavinsky, a user of his forums. AnandtikThe user tested it in several Blender benchmarks, which show that AMD’s Zen 5 architecture will indeed make huge leaps for those interested in 3D modeling, animation, rendering, video editing, and other related workloads.

Specifically, Igor tested the processor at various TDPs. At 60W, the Ryzen 9 9950X achieved a Blender score of 327.7 points. At 90W, it scored a much higher score of 486.9 points. At 120W, the new chip managed an impressive total of 576 points, while at 160W it managed a score of 678.

In comparison, the Ryzen 9 7950X managed just 599.2 points at 170W. Which suggests that the 9950X is Much faster than its predecessor, with better fuel economy too.

Finally, at 230 watts, the 9950X scored 353.4 points in Blender’s Monster test, 226.2 points in Junkshop, and 171.3 points in Classroom. That is, it was Consistently about 20% faster than the 7950X. Which achieved 297.3, 180.2 and 139.9 points in the three mentioned criteria, respectively.

It’s worth noting that these results are even more impressive considering that we’re dealing with an engineering sample that may perform worse than the final version of the processor that will hit store shelves for consumers.
