After Intel’s Core i9 9900K, it’s now time for Ryzen 7 2800X to appear in the benchmarks.
Yesterday, leaks showed the performance of the powerful Intel Core i9-9900K on the GeekBench platform. Intel’s processor scored 2210 points on the CineBench.
Today the AMD Ryzen 7 2800X is again in the spotlight and shows its performance. A Spanish news publisher shares a cliché that reveals this true monster: 10 cores and 20 threads at 4.0 GHz. The Cinebench score is comparable to that of the Core i9 9900K: 2130 points.
However, the most interesting part of the news is the information about the ten cores, as that is the big change in the processor design. This is because it is not possible for the ZEN architecture to embed so many cores in such a small space and at the same time the 7nm engraving is not yet available. So, two options are therefore possible: the use of a complete die or a redesigned platform in the form of an MCP equipped with two ZENs of 6 CCX, which would bring us to 12 and not 10 cores.
Be careful, there is nothing official and caution is advised.
The most interesting thing about this picture is the number of cores. AMD is reportedly planning to continue its race for the number of cores. After the Ryzen families upset Intel’s offering of up to 8 physical cores, they were able to raise the bar even higher with 10 cores combined with SMT technology and 20 logical cores.
Ryzen 7 2800X processor under Cinebench R15?
The screenshot shows the Cinebench R15 benchmark. A value of about 2130 points is reached, an increase of 21.6% compared to the Ryzen 7 2700X. AMD would have reduced the frequency to 4 GHz nominal compared to 4.3 GHz for the 2700X. This is probably due to the need to keep the TDP at an acceptable level.
