Leaked benchmark showcases 13% boost for Ryzen 9 9900X CPU over its predecessor

Leaked benchmark showcases huge efficiency boost for AMD’s Ryzen 9000 series CPUs

AMD is due to release their Ryzen 9000 series processors later this month, and based on newly leaked benchmark results over on WCCFtech, AMD’s new Ryzen 9 9900X CPU will be much faster and more efficient than its Zen 4 predecessor.

Based on the results below, AMD’s next-generation 12-core CPU will be around 13% faster than its last-generation counterpart, the Ryzen 9 7900X. Note that AMD’s new Ryzen 9 9900X has a TDP of 120W. That’s 50W lower than AMD’s Ryzen 9 7900X. Not only is AMD’s new Zen 5 chip faster, it’s also much more power efficient.

With a its TDP increased to 170W using AMD’s Precision Boost Overdrive, AMD’s new Ryzen 9 9900X can run at even faster speeds. With a similar TDP to its predecessor, AMD’s new 12-core is 18% faster than a Ryzen 9 7900X.

These leaked results highlight the strengths of AMD’s new Zen 5 CPU architecture. With this new generation of CPUs, AMD has delivered more performance at lower power draws. That’s great news for all AMD users, especially those who purchase Zen 5 based laptops. After all, laptops and other mobile PCs are set to benefit most from AMD’s efficiency gains with Zen 5.

For desktop users, this increased efficiency allows AMD to boost the performance of their new CPUs without increasing their power draw/heat output. That means that users will not need ultra-high-end cooling solutions with Zen 5 CPUs. That’s good news for PC builders and AMD’s OEM customers alike.
