Leaked benchmarks of the upcoming AMD Ryzen 9 9900X processor have been making waves, showcasing impressive single-core and multi-core performance. In the Geekbench 6 tests, the 12-core Ryzen 9900X scored 3,401 in single-core performance, outperforming both the Intel Core i9-14900K and the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X. The CPU also reached a boost speed of 5.6GHz, which is quite impressive.
In terms of multi-core performance, the Ryzen 9 9900X scored 19,756 in Geekbench 6 multi-core tests, falling just short of the Intel Core i9-14900K. Another leak showed the CPU scoring 33,000 in Cinebench R23 in its 120W TDP mode and 34,500 in 170W mode, positioning it closely behind the Intel Core i7-14700K.
These leaks suggest a promising future for the Ryzen 9000 series, which is rumored to be released on July 31. While the Ryzen 9 9900X is not the most powerful in the upcoming range (that title belongs to the Ryzen 9 9950X), it still shows significant performance improvements.
The competition between AMD and Intel is heating up, with Intel rumored to release its Arrow Lake processors in the near future. Unlike AMD’s Ryzen 9000 series, Intel’s next-gen CPUs will require a new socket, leading to additional expenses for users upgrading their systems.
Overall, the leaked benchmarks of the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X indicate a strong performance that could potentially challenge Intel’s current offerings. As both companies continue to push the boundaries of CPU technology, consumers can expect exciting developments in the processor market in the coming months.
