Congrats! AMD-sponsored overclocker Invoice Alverson, aka Sampson, received the dual information of the very best scores in Cinebench R23 and R20 for 16-core CPUs on Friday with a Ryzen 9 7950X overclocked to six.5 GHz. His scores now additionally rank thirty seventh in R23 and 88th in R20 for CPUs of any dimension.
His rating of 48,235 factors in R23 is about 8,000 factors forward of second place –an i9-12900KS overclocked to 7 GHz additionally on LN2. It is about 11,000 factors or 30 % increased than the leaked scores of factory-clocked 7950Xs, and practically 20,000 factors increased than the common scores of the 5950X.
The overclocked 7950X managed to leapfrog over the opposite 16-core CPUs and into the territory of 32-core behemoths just like the Threadripper 3970X. It even outpaces Intel’s 28-core Xeon W-3175X from a few years again, regardless of the overclocking race that processor prompted.
In line with the screenshot submitted to HWBot, the overclock that received the R23 report was an x64.50 multiplier utilized to the default 100 MHz bus frequency, leading to 6450 MHz on all cores. It took 1.40 V and a peak energy consumption of 271 W to achieve it, 101 W greater than the manufacturing unit TDP.
The system was an Asus ROG Crosshair X670E Gene motherboard paired with two 16 GB DDR5 sticks clocked at 3600 MHz. The GPU was the built-in AMD Raphael GPU primarily based on RDNA2 clocked at 600 MHz. For the R20 report, Sampson rebuilt the system with an Asrock X670E Taichi motherboard.
The second overclock was reported fairly otherwise by the {hardware} screens. Benchmate recorded 6513.28 MHz, CPU-Z mentioned 6538.38 MHz, and HWiNFO mentioned {that a} 100.1 MHz bus frequency and an x64.63 multiplier resulted in a mean clock velocity of 6470.20 MHz.
Regardless, that was all he wanted to attain 18,605 factors and take the 16-core CPU report in R20. For comparability, the very best 5950X and i9-12900K (LN2) scores are 15,664 factors with an overclock of an excellent 6 GHz and 15,625 factors with an overclock of 6873 MHz, respectively.
After the 7950X and the remainder of the 7000-series launch on Tuesday, we should always see extra overclocking excessive scores seem (in addition to our critiques!). With out unique cooling, the CPU has a lift clock of 5.7 GHz and a base clock of 4.5 GHz, with an MRSP of $700.
