AMD Ryzen 7 5800X & Ryzen 9 5950X Review

Synthetic Benchmarks

There’s no mucking about here, the new AMD CPUs are flying through these benchmarks. I’m pretty amazed with the Ryzen 5 5600X performance though, it set some of our highest scores to date, and really allowed the GPU on our test bench to stretch its legs in GPU bound tasks such as FireStrike. 24564 is enough to beat ANY Intel CPU we’ve tested to date.

However, the Ryzen 9 5900X set a new high score in FireStrike, TimeSpy, PCMark 10 Express, and in SuperPi Mod. That means it’s beaten out all the latest Intel CPUs we’ve tested, including the 10900K which was further down the list and didn’t even make it onto this chart with its score of FireStrike 22407 vs the 25942 of the 5900X.

Results in RED indicate a new #1 record score for that benchmark.
