Amd ryzen 9 3900x demonstrates its power in a new benchmark
Table of contents:
We've seen several performance numbers for the flagship Ryzen 9 3950X floating around the internet, but now it's time to take a look at the second best chip in the AMD series, the 12-core Ryzen 9 3900X.
AMD Ryzen 9 3900X ranks above the Intel Core i9-9980XE in Geekbench 4
The AMD Ryzen 9 3950X is definitely the highlight of the Ryzen 3000 series product line, as the CPU is the flagship variant, but it won't be released until September. What will be launched in a few weeks is the Ryzen 9 3900X which will be the first 12-core processor for conventional platforms and which is also a beast in terms of performance and efficiency.
The AMD Ryzen 9 3900X is a 12-core, 24-wire chip that belongs to the 7nm Zen 2 architecture. The chip features a 3.8 GHz base clock and a 4.6 GHz boost clock. There are 70 MB of L3 cache, 40 PCIe 4.0 tracks (CPU + PCH), and a TDP of 105W (derived from base frequency). The CPU will hit the market on July 7 for approximately $ 499.
The result in Geekbench 4
AMD's competitor Intel doesn't have a conventional 12-core chip, but it does have a HEDT chip that does. The Intel Core i9-9920X which has 12 cores and 24 threads with a TDP of 165W. This chip features a 3.5 GHz base clock and a 4.4 GHz boost clock. The chip retails for $ 1, 200 and, as included in the HEDT X299 platform, the cost of building a PC around of that chip is also larger compared to AMD's X570 platform.
The AMD Ryzen 9 3900X has been seen on Geekbench 4 alongside the X570 AORUS Master motherboard and has the exact same specifications listed apart from the boost clock which may be a reporting bug in the Geekbench database. The chip is running on its stock watches and it scores 5905 points in single-core performance tests and 44849 points in multi-core performance tests.

For comparison, an Intel Core i9-9900K processor scores around 6, 100 single-core points and 31, 000 points in multi-core tests. The Intel Core i9-9980XE processor scores around 5, 300 points in a single core and around 42, 000 points in the multi-core performance test. Even the 16-core Ryzen Threadripper 2950X scores around 4800 points in single core and around 38000 points in multi-core performance tests.
This makes this processor incredibly competing with competing HEDT chips and outperforming them with a brutal price difference.
