Ryzen 9 3950x beats the threadripper 2950x in geekbench

The Ryzen 9 3950X, which has been delayed until November, already has two lists on Geekbench 5, giving us an idea of ​​the performance capabilities of AMD's next 16-core, 32-thread CPU.

Ryzen 9 3950X exceeds Threadripper 2950X by 14% in Geekbench

The well-known @TUM_APISAK filter on Twitter, there are currently two Geekbench 5 entries for the Ryzen 9 3950X with dissimilar scores.

The first team with this chip is paired with a Gigabyte B450 Aorus Pro WiFi motherboard and scored 1, 314 and 11, 140 in single- and multi-core tests, respectively. The second system, which used the Asus Prime X570-P motherboard, offered a single-core score of 1, 276 points and a multi-core score of 15, 401 points. Both systems appear to have used DDR4-3600 memory modules.

AMD is marketing the Ryzen 9 3950X with a base clock of 3.5 GHz and a maximum boost clock of 4.7 GHz, which can only be achieved in a single core. Based on the Geekbench inputs, the CPU maintained a variable core clock speed between 4.2 GHz and 4.3 GHz during both tests.

The Ryzen 9 3950X and AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2950X belong to different market segments. Both chips are equipped with 16 cores and 32 threads, and have the same 3.5 GHz base clock; however, the Ryzen 9 3950X has a higher 300 MHz boost clock and twice the L3 cache than the Ryzen Threadripper 2950X.

If the Geekbench listings are accurate, the Ryzen 9 3950X appears to outperform the Threadripper 2950X by as much as 14.3% on single-core workloads. When it comes to multicore workloads, the difference is around 3.9%. If the Ryzen 9 3950X is really capable of outperforming the Ryzen Threadripper 2950X while having a lower TDP of 75W, it would be a great sample of the benefits of Zen 2 architecture and 7nm node. We will keep you informed.
