The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 6 Core Desktop CPU has been benchmarked within Cinebench R15 and it looks like the competition is going to be put down once and for all. The numbers were posted by TUM_APISAK over at Twitter and show the multi-threading performance of AMD's mainstream & 6 core processor which launches this week.

AMD's Ryzen 5 5600X 6 Core "Zen 3" CPU Benchmarked in Cinebench, Up To 42% Faster Multi-Threading and 25% Faster Single-Core Performance Than Intel's Core i5-10600K

The benchmark shows the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, which was running at overclocked speeds of 4.7 GHz across all of its 6 cores, post a score of 2040 points in multi-threading and 258 points in the single-threaded tests. The test platform was running DDR4 memory at 3200 MHz (CL14 timings) with an ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII HERO motherboard. The voltage was set to 1.256V for this test run.

For comparison (using Anandtech's numbers), the Intel Core i5-10600K scores 1428 points in multi-threaded and 206 points in single-threaded workloads. The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X scores 2112 points in multi & 204 points in single-thread benchmarks. The Intel Core i7-10700K posts 2005 points in multi-thread & a score of 217 points in single-core tests. Meanwhile the AMD Ryzen 5 3600X scores 1639 points in multi and 210 points in single-core tests.
