The front cover of this generation of AMD Ryzen 9 7950X has changed from a square shape to a puzzle shape like the current one, and the shape is quite distinctive. But I personally think it’s a bit hard to hold, and the thermal paste is easy to get stuck in the groove when cleaning it XD.
On the back, it can be seen that this CPU has changed from the previous generation of PGA package to this generation of LGA package. The pin part is simply transferred to the motherboard, which reduces the risk of pins step caused by a CPU collision.
The number of cores is the same as the previous generation R9 5950X, which is 16C32T, but the base clock speed has been increased directly from 3.4GHz to 4.5GHz, and the maximum overclocking frequency has also to increase from 4.9GHz to 5.7GHz.
The L2 Cache is doubled to 16MB, PCIe support is upgraded to PCIe 5.0, and the memory has also changed from DDR4 to DDR5. At the same time, the entire series of this generation has also added internal graphics. I used to think the CPU’s internal display was useless, but since I started unpacking, I found Debug to be very convenient. This generation of 7000 series has more AV1 decoders than the 5000 series products with a built-in display, and the mainstream video and audio editing experience should be greatly improved in the future.
The upgraded motherboard this time uses ASUS ROG Strix X670E-E Gaming Wi-Fi, which has 18 + 2 power supplies, 2 PCIe 5.0 x16 and other rich I / O. It is really handsome in appearance and quite luxurious in terms of specifications.
We’ve unpacked this motherboard before, and it’s about the same price range as my dad’s original ASUS C8H at around $15,000, which is basically the top spec for gamers.
The memory is also the Team Team T-Force Vulcan DDR5-5200 16x2GB which has been unpacked before After all, my dad mainly does 3D graphics. The recommended RAM is 32GB. This set of memory meets the needs and the price is quite cost effective.
The graphics card part continues to use my father’s original ZOTAC GAMING GeForce RTX 3080Ti Trinity. Since the performance of the graphics card itself is quite adequate, I didn’t help my dad to upgrade it this time (of course, it’s mainly because I don’t have a budget XD
The specs before and after this upgrade are listed here:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X
Upgrade》AMD Ryzen 9 7950X
Cooler: CoolerMaster ML360L V2 ARGB
MB:ASUS ROG Crossword Hero VIII
Upgrade 》 ASUS ROG Strix X670E-E Gaming Wi-Fi
RAM: G.SKILL Trident Z Royal DDR4–4000 32Gx2
Upgrade》TEAMGROUP T-Force Vulcan DDR5–5200 16x2GB
Graphics: ZOTAC GAMING GeForce RTX 3080Ti Trinity
SSD: Samsung 980 Pro 500GB
PSU: Seasonal Focus GX1000
Chassis: CORSAIR 5000D
First look at the part from Cinebench R23. With PBO turned on, the score reaches 37,986 points for multi-core, which is significantly ahead of other products.
The single-core score is 2,032 points, compared to 28,261 / 1,587 points of the previous generation R9 5950X, it has increased by 30% regardless of single-core or multi-core, which is a great exaggeration.
The multi-core is even about to tie to the rival i9-13900K. You must know that AMD CPU is two or three thousand yuan cheaper!
Then the clock is also set at 3 GHz, we can see that R9 7950X is still first with its multi-core, but the gap with R9 5950X which is also 16C32T is not as much as from the front
It can also be seen from the single core that the performance improvement caused by this architecture upgrade is about 10%, and the rest is driven by an increase in frequency.
Multi-core 3DMark CPU Profile 16,284, the result is the same as R23, which is about 30% higher.
The single core is 1,120, which is also a significant improvement compared to the previous generation R9 5950X.
In the VRay Benchmark, R9 7950X scored 29,707 points, which stands out. Although the R9 5950X scored 21,330 points, it can be seen that the performance is almost equal to the R9 7900X.
7-Zip compressed 163,036 MIPS, decompressed 266,554 MIPS, and 214,795 MIPS overall. Compared to the previous generation R9 5950X, it is a significant improvement.
Blender Benchmark scores are R9 5950X and Xiaoying R9 7900X. The rendering clearly has more cores.
Blender: junkshop R9 7950X scored 172.69, R9 5950X 138.15.
Blender: R9 7950X scored 139.16, R9 5950X scored 101.39.
JetStream the browser does not know why the R9 7900X got the highest score.
Finally, let’s talk about buying tips From the previous run scores, we can see that the performance of the R9 5950X is roughly equivalent to this generation’s R9 7900X. So, I personally think that if the processor is originally R9 5950X, and then feel that the performance is enough, in fact, I will not recommend that you have to upgrade to R9 7950X, even if you really want, you can wait for the later X3D version.
For those about to buy a PC, the R9 5950X can be paired with a more cost-effective motherboard and cheaper DDR4 memory, but the 7000 series has updated spec support and is fully equipped with built-in graphics as a standard, so compared to most products of the 5000 series There are also more hardware audio-visual codecs. Indeed, both generations of products have their own advantages, and you can choose according to your budget.
The R9 7950X is actually a bargain at a price of around $18,000 on the current channel. The performance is almost on par with the competition, but the price is much cheaper. It is worth considering for friends who follow CP value and performance at the same time! AMD CPU perfume can be said to be quite enough now. If you want to upgrade to a more top-end friend, you can wait for AMD to launch the 7950 X3D version, and there will be more performance improvements.
