NOVEMBER 2020 PCWorld 13Ryzen exceeds Intel
in other areas, too,
according to AMD.
The company said the
new Ryzen 9 5900X is
the first consumer
desktop chip to break
the 600 mark in
Maxon’s Cinebench
R20 test in single-
threaded performance,
with a score of 631.
Intel’s best, the Core i9-10900K, scores 544.
RYZEN 9 5950X:
THE BIG KAHUNA
Although AMD is pitching the 12-core Ryzen
9 5900X as the “world’s best gaming CPU,”
it’s also piling on the cores in another chip,
the 16-core Ryzen 9 5950X.
AMD said the chip is great for both
gaming and content creation.
Compared to the 16-core
Ryzen 9 3950X, AMD said
the Ryzen 9 5900X offers
improvement benefits from 5
percent to 27 percent, with
the greatest upticks in
gaming. Again, you can see
that Ryzen gap where the Zen
3 outperforms the Zen 2 by
largely double digits.
Against the 10-core Core
i9-10900K, the benefits
depend largely on the application. Adobe
Premiere, for example, sees the Ryzen 9
5900X about 13 percent faster. In the V-Ray
rendering benchmark that taps more CPU
cores, however, it’s about 59 percent faster.
In gaming, AMD showed off the new
Ryzen 9 5900X either tied or ahead by
single-digit percentage increases in
performance against the Core i9-10900K.AMD seems to have received all the achievements a gaming and PC
enthusiast CPU needs.
