AMD breaks the globe file for 16-core CPUs in Cinebench with a 7950X on LN2

Congrats! AMD-sponsored overclocker Monthly bill Alverson, aka Sampson, gained the twin data of the highest scores in Cinebench R23 and R20 for 16-core CPUs on Friday with a Ryzen 9 7950X overclocked to 6.5 GHz. His scores now also rank 37th in R23 and 88th in R20 for CPUs of any sizing.

His score of 48,235 points in R23 is about 8,000 details ahead of second location --an i9-12900KS overclocked to 7 GHz also on LN2. It's about 11,000 details or 30 per cent greater than the leaked scores of manufacturing facility-clocked 7950Xs, and just about 20,000 factors better than the standard scores of the 5950X.

The overclocked 7950X managed to leapfrog about the other 16-core CPUs and into the territory of 32-main behemoths like the Threadripper 3970X. It even outpaces Intel's 28-main Xeon W-3175X from a couple of many years again, in spite of the overclocking race that processor prompted.

It says -158° C on that thermometer!

In accordance to the screenshot submitted to HWBot, the overclock that gained the R23 record was an x64.50 multiplier used to the default 100 MHz bus frequency, resulting in 6450 MHz on all cores. It took 1.40 V and a peak electric power usage of 271 W to get to it, 101 W more than the manufacturing unit TDP.

The method 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 based on RDNA2 clocked at 600 MHz. For the R20 report, Sampson rebuilt the system with an Asrock X670E Taichi motherboard.

The 2nd overclock was noted pretty in another way by the components monitors. Benchmate recorded 6513.28 MHz, CPU-Z stated 6538.38 MHz, and HWiNFO mentioned that a 100.1 MHz bus frequency and an x64.63 multiplier resulted in an ordinary clock speed of 6470.20 MHz.

Regardless, that was all he required to rating 18,605 details and take the 16-main CPU history in R20. For comparison, the optimum 5950X and i9-12900K (LN2) scores are 15,664 details with an overclock of an even 6 GHz and 15,625 points with an overclock of 6873 MHz, respectively.

After the 7950X and the relaxation of the 7000-sequence launch on Tuesday, we really should see far more overclocking superior scores look (as properly as our assessments!). Devoid of unique cooling, the CPU has a raise clock of 5.7 GHz and a base clock of 4.5 GHz, with an MRSP of $700.
