Posted on GeekBench.com and X.com July 24 2024, user XHL@9550pro has released new Geekbench scores for the New Ryzen 9 9950X. The scores show the new CPU running at 5,952 MHz, or 5.95GHz. This is an impressive improvement on the base clock of 4.3 GHz and 252 MHz improvement on the MAX Boost clock of 5.7 GHz posted in AMD’s specifications for the CPU.
The ES 100-000001277-60_Y CPU, an engineering sample Ryzen 9 9950X CPU was tested using a ASUS ROG CROSSHAIR X670E GENE motherboard. Base frequency was listed at 3.6 GHz which is lower than AMD’s posted base clock for the CPU. Running Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC (64-bit), and Geekbench 6.2.2 for Windows AVX2 results were:
| Geekbench Single Core Score | Geekbench Multi-Core Score |
| 3706 | 26047 |
This bodes well for AMD showing that their processors have more punch than the listed specifications. More test results to come as the AMD Ryzen 9 new CPU’s find their way into the market.
Geekbench charts currently show results that put the new AMD chips in a favorable position, though there may be some apples to oranges comparisons. Currently Geekbench downloads are for version 6.3.0 and there could be different OS, memory and other hardware affecting scores.
These scores as compared with Geekbench charts put the AMD Ryzen 9 9950 overclocked in a very favorable light though. A summary list of Geekbench CPU single and multi-core results compared with the new Ryzen 9 9950X shows it in a good light, again even if all factors in testing are not equal.
