The Ryzen 9 9900X, one of AMD’s first Zen 5 CPUs for desktop users, will deliver substantially faster single-core performance than the Core i9-14900KS, Intel’s current flagship processor, according to new benchmark results that show how red team’s chip can achieve single-core and multi-core scores of 3,401 and 19,756, respectively, in Geekbench 6. Complementing those numbers is a separate test performed in Cinebench R23, where the Ryzen 9900X (120W) delivers a 14% uplift in multi-threaded performance versus the Ryzen 7900X (170W) at default TDP.
Geekbench 6 numbers for Ryzen 9 990X:
- Single-core score: 3,401
- Multi-core score: 19,756

From a report:
…the 170W TDP disclosed above for the Ryzen 9 7900X has PBO enabled by default. Once PBO is enabled for the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X 12-Core “Zen 5” Desktop CPU, its score surges to around 34,500 points which is around a 20% uplift over the Ryzen 9 7900X, and users can still expect lower power consumption than the Zen 4 chips.

I'm kind of annoyed that Geekbench has become such a popular benchmark, because it is mostly useless at assessing anything real world.
I understand why it has though. There aren't many options out there when you want to compare capabilities across platforms (PC, Apple, Android, iOS, etc.) Still, that doesn't mean the results mean much (if anything)
