As spotted by TUM_APISAK, four additional AMD Ryzen 9 5950X benchmarks have appeared on Geekbench. The scores are significantly higher than the initial benchmark we shared (especially in the multi-core department), making red team’s 16C/32T flagship even more salivating in the eyes of prospective owners.
While the Ryzen 9 5950X only managed a single-core score of 1575 and multi-core score of 13605 in the benchmark published on Monday, the new listings feature single-core scores of 1640–1663 and multi-core scores of 15782–15860. They appear to stem from a similar hardware configuration (ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Formula with 32 GB of RAM).
We’ve compiled the scores into tables below to show how AMD’s new Ryzen 9 5950X flagship might compare to its Zen 2 predecessor, the Ryzen 9 3950X, as well as its primary competitor, Intel’s Core i9-10900K.
AMD Ryzen 9 5950X vs. AMD Ryzen 3950X
| Processor | Single-Core Score | Multi-Core Score |
| AMD Ryzen 9 5950X | 1661 (+25 percent) | 15804 (+11 percent) |
| AMD Ryzen 9 5950X | 1663 (+25 percent) | 15782 (+11 percent) |
| AMD Ryzen 9 5950X | 1657 (+25 percent) | 15860 (+12 percent) |

If the recent scores on Geekbench are anything to go by, prospective Ryzen 9 5950X adopters can expect a 25 percent single-core and 12 percent multi-core performance improvement over the previous generation. They can also expect a 16 percent single-core and 35 percent multi-core performance improvement over Intel’s flagship Comet Lake-S processor.
