AMD Ryzen 9 7900X Review

Google Octane 2.0

Octane 2.0 is a benchmark that measures a JavaScript engine’s performance by running a suite of tests representative of certain use cases in JavaScript applications.

Looking at web browser performance, starting with Google Octane, and in this test, Intel comes out on top, though only by just over 1%. Where we see some bigger gains is with a 24% lead over the 5900X and slightly smaller 21% lead over the 5950X.

Mozilla Kraken 1.1

Kraken is a JavaScript performance benchmark created by Mozilla that measures the speed of several different test cases extracted from real-world applications and libraries.

In Mozilla Kraken, the 7900X gives us the quickest result at 366 milli seconds which is around 20% faster than what we saw from the 5900X. The 12900K did put up some good competition, and with the 13th generation of CPUs upon us soon, it will be interesting to see what happens when we test with them.

WebXPRT 4

WebXPRT 4 is a browser benchmark that compares the performance of almost any web-enabled device. It contains HTML5, JavaScript, and WebAssembly-based scenarios created to mirror the tasks you do every day: Photo Enhancement, Organize Album Using AI, Stock Option Pricing, Encrypt Notes and OCR Scan using WASM, Sales Graphs, and Online Homework. Use WebXPRT to see exactly how well different devices handle real-world tasks.

In WebXPRT, we again see the 7900X coming out on top with a small 3.9% lead over the Intel flagship. Generation to generation, we see a larger lead of 18% over the 5900X, and a 47% lead over the Ryzen 9 3900X, so for those skipping a generation, this definitely gives you food for thought.
