Synthetic System Benchmarks
We are going to start with synthetic system application benchmarks on this page. Gaming performance will be shown later on. Note that the graphs are arranged from fastest to slowest and contain all the CPUs on each graph for a large comparison. The Ryzen 5 7600X is highlighted in orange.
PCMark 10
Standard PCMark Benchmark
In PCMark 10 the Ryzen 5 7600X is near the top of the stack, coming in right under the Core i9-12900K, and even beats the Core i7-12700K and Ryzen 9 5950X. It’s 17% better than the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, so that’s an improvement over the last generation.
PCMark Application Benchmark
In this graph, we are looking at PCMark 10’s Applications Benchmark. This test is very specific, it tests the performance of Microsoft Office, using Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and even Edge. We are using Microsoft Office 2021 for these tests. The new Ryzen 5 7600X is at the top of the charts here, coming in only second to the new 7900X. It beats the Core i9-12900K and Ryzen 9 5950X. Compared to the last generation Ryzen 5 5600X it’s a 25% performance improvement.
Geekbench 5
In Geekbench 5 Multi-Core benchmark the new Ryzen 5 7600X is sitting above the Ryzen 7 5800X3D and 5800X, which is interesting because those CPUs do have more cores. However, it is beat by the Intel Core i5-12600K. Compared to the last generation Ryzen 5 5600X the new 7600X is 42% faster.
When it comes to Single-Core performance, the Ryzen 5 7600X is again only second to the 7900X. It beast the pants off the Core i9-12900K and a bigger boost over AMD’s last generation Ryzen 5000 series CPUs. Compared to the Ryzen 5 5600X the 7600X is 34% faster.
