AMD’s highly anticipated Zen 5-based Ryzen 9 9950X processor is on the verge of release, and it’s already making headlines for its impressive performance. In a live event at China Joy, renowned tech influencer “Ordinary Uncle Tony” pushed the 9950X to its limits, achieving a groundbreaking 6.5GHz overclock using LN2 cooling. This overclocking feat resulted in a stunning Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 55,327 points, eclipsing the previous world record set by the Ryzen 9 7950X.
The 9950X, boasting a stock clock speed of 5.0GHz, achieved an impressive score of 42,689 points in Cinebench R23 at its default settings. Pushing the processor to 6.0GHz, Tony managed to achieve a score of 51,204 points, surpassing the existing world record held by the 7950X. However, the real highlight came when Tony managed to overclock the 9950X to an incredible 6.5GHz, leading to a phenomenal Cinebench R23 score of 55,327 points, solidifying its place as the new world champion.
AMD’s Ryzen 9 9950X comes equipped with a base clock speed of 4.3GHz and a boost clock of up to 5.7GHz. Even with air cooling, the processor is capable of reaching a remarkable 6.0GHz. The Zen 5 architecture’s prowess is evident in the 27% performance improvement seen in Geekbench compared to leaked scores of the 9950X running at its stock settings. This incredible performance leap demonstrates the potential of AMD’s new generation processors and their commitment to pushing the boundaries of computing power.
