Overclocked AMD Ryzen 5 9600X ES to 5.70 GHz All-core

An AMD Ryzen 5 9600X “Zen 5” processor engineering sample has undergone a CPU-Z Benchmark and been overclocked to 5.70 GHz across all cores. In this instance, the chip scores 7096 points in the multithreaded benchmark and 871 points in the single-threaded benchmark. Since the impending Ryzen 9 9950X flagship chip has a maximum boost frequency of 5.70 GHz, the overclock to 5.70 GHz is noteworthy.

The single-thread benchmark shows that AMD’s “Zen 5” has an IPC that is comparable to the Intel Core i9-14900K processor’s “Raptor Cove” P-core. Meanwhile, AMD’s multithreaded score of 7096 points is higher than that of the Ryzen 7 5800X’s “Zen 3,” indicating that AMD is making up for the loss of two entire cores (33% of the 9600X’s core count) with only IPC and faster memory. In July 2024, AMD is anticipated to release desktop processors from the Ryzen 9000 family.
