Alleged benchmarks of the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 12 core and 24 thread Zen 3 CPU have leaked out and the performance increase over its predecessor is just spectacular. The leak comes in the form of a CPU-z screenshot of a 12 core and 24 thread AMD CPU running the single and multi-threaded tests as spotted by Twitter fellow, @9550pro.

AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 12 Core & 24 Thread Zen 3 CPU Alleged Benchmarks Leak Out - Up To 25% Faster Single-Core Performance Versus The Ryzen 9 3900X

The CPU-z screenshot shows an unreleased AMD processor with the 100-000000061-08 string. As per the details mentioned on the CPU-z application, the chip seems to feature a 12 core config as 24 threads are mentioned. As such, this could possibly be the first benchmark for the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X which is a next-generation Zen 3 powered processor that would feature 12 core & 24 thread design and replace the existing Ryzen 9 3900X CPU.

There are no specifics about what clocks the alleged AMD Ryzen 9 5900X chip was run at or what platform and memory were used but it is highly liked that the tests were carried out on stock clocks which should be around 5 GHz based on a recent rumor.As for performance, the chip scored 652.8 points in the single-core test which is 27% faster than the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X and up to 25% faster than the Ryzen 9 3900X. One thing to consider is that these are not IPC gains but the general single-core perf gains over the predecessors. Since we don't know the clock speeds yet, it's not possible to extract the exact IPC uplift with these benchmarks yet.

Coming to the multi-threaded performance test, the alleged AMD Ryzen 9 5900X CPU scored a total of 9481 points which is a massive 75% improvement over the Ryzen 7 3700X & a 15% improvement over the Ryzen 9 3900X.

Now once again, we don't know for sure if this is indeed the Ryzen 9 5900X or some other chip or even if this benchmark is legitimate but if real, we are looking at an impressive performance jump over the Ryzen 3000 CPUs. The AMD Ryzen 5000 series lineup based on Zen 3 core architecture is officially set to be unveiled on the 8th of October or next week with recent rumors pointing to retail launch around the end of October. The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X benchmarks also leaked out just a few days ago.
