Leaked benchmarks have emerged for the upcoming AMD Ryzen 9 9900X, which reveal impressive single- and multi-core performance that should concern rival Chipzilla. The 12-core Ryzen 9900X processor scored 3401 in the Geekbench 6 single-core test, surpassing both the Intel Core i9-14900K and the flagship AMD Ryzen 9 7950X. This leak also disclosed that the 9900X can reach a boost speed of 5.6GHz.
In terms of multi-core performance, the Ryzen 9 9900X achieved a Geekbench 6 multi-core score of 19,756, coming close to but falling slightly behind the Intel Core i9-14900K. Another leak demonstrated the 9900X’s performance in Cinebench R23, with scores of 33,000 in 120W TDP mode and 34,500 in 170W mode. These benchmarks indicate a strong showing for the Ryzen 9000 series, rumored to launch globally on July 31.
Although the 9900X is not the most powerful processor in the upcoming lineup (that honor goes to the 16-core AMD Ryzen 9 9950X), it and the 9950X are poised to be among the best processors available. The Ryzen 9900X’s performance improvements in both single-core and multi-core tasks are striking, showcasing the potential strength of the upcoming series.
It is important to note that Intel’s next-gen desktop CPUs will require a new socket, adding to the cost of upgrading existing PCs with the latest processors. The leaked benchmarks for the Ryzen 9 9900X offer a promising glimpse of what to expect from AMD’s upcoming Ryzen 9000 series, suggesting a strong contender in the competitive CPU market.
