Cinebench R23
Starting off, we have Cinebench R23 where the Ryzen 7000 family shines. AMD provided all reviewers with a specific ‘kit’ packed with an unnamed X670E motherboard, 2x16GB of G.Skill DDR5-6000 memory. For comparison purposes, the testing also included the Ryzen 5000 CPUs featuring DDR4-3200 memory. To put that into perspective, we compiled a few charts to show the generational leap Zen4 offers. The 7950X is a massive 42% faster than last-gen. (Blue = Zen4 | Orange = Zen3) Single-core wise, we see one of the largest performance gains offered by AMD. Team red is promising a massive jump in performance across every CPU from the Ryzen 7000 lineup. The single-core metrics are comparable to Intel’s top-notch CPUs.
Cinebench R20
In Cinebench R20, we see similar results with Zen4 crushing Zen3 in all ways possible. Here the 7950X beats the 5950X by almost 45% in the multi core test. Across the board, Zen4 maintains its lead consistently.
Cinebench R15
In Cinebench R15, the 7950X has a lead of 13% over its predecessor single-core wise. Zen4 is indeed a haven for gamers as well as content creators. Even at the same core/thread count, it manages to be on average 40–45% faster than last-gen consistently.
Conclusion
AMD’s Zen4 will retail by the 27th of September (2 days from now). Similarly, official reviews for these CPUs will go live tomorrow. The full fledged review will include gaming benchmarks and real-world performance metrics.
