The ES version of the Ryzen 9 4950X was previously discovered at a maximum frequency of 4.8 GHz, but the latest The ES version has a much higher operating frequency. Single-core performance has been the weakness of AMD CPUs for almost a decade.
But in the last two years, AMD has closed the gap with Intel, and this gap will continue to close, especially when it comes to AMD Ryzen 4000 ‘Vermeer’ desktop CPUs. Now Igor Labs has brought us some information about AMD’s flagship CPU, the Ryzen 9 4950X.
According to Igor Labs, they have discovered a new Ryzen ‘Vermeer’ desktop processor with Zen 3 architecture, which Igor Labs believes will be AMD’s next flagship CPU, the Ryzen 9 4950X.
An engineering sample of the Ryzen 9 4950X approaches 5 GHz
This version found by Igor Labs with AMD Ryzen 9 4950X CPU ES has the “100-00000000065-04_ 46/36 _Y ” OPN code. The report states that the OPN code is the same as the previous malicious Ryzen 9 4950X CPU with 16 cores and 32 threads, but with a higher acceleration frequency, so the latest ES version of Ryzen 9 4950X has better performance.
In terms of specifications, the latest ES version of Ryzen 9 4950X has a base frequency of 3.7 GHz and an acceleration frequency of 4.9 GHz, and Igor Labs has found another version with a base frequency of 3.6 GHz and an acceleration frequency of 4.6 GHz.
Compared to the existing AMD Ryzen 9 3950X CPU, the latest 4950X ES Edition CPU has been increased by 200 MHz in both base and acceleration frequency, and since it is still an ES version, it will probably reach even higher frequencies later.
However, since the tested CPUs contain several variants, we cannot yet determine the final frequency of the Ryzen 9 4950X, but given that earlier ES versions could reach 4.9 GHz, it’s likely that in future iterations we’ll see CPUs with Zen 3 architecture in the 5 GHz range. Igor Labs also mentioned that the Zen 3-based Ryzen 4000 ‘Vermeer’ series CPUs have reached B0 and will soon go into mass production.
Finally, what do we all think about the AMD Ryzen 9 4950X CPU?
