It looks like those who received their AMD Ryzen 9000 samples early are continuing to test them, as an interesting new benchmark result has been shared online. Twitter’s HXL, an Asus system packing an AMD Ryzen 9 9950X engineering sample (ES), was checked in Geekbench 6. Moreover, this Zen 5 16C/32T consumer flagship was overclocked to 5.95 GHz. That’s a modest 300 MHz faster than the stock maximum clock.
The overclocked Zen 5 desktop chip achieved a 3,706-point single-core score and 26,047 in the multi-core tests built into Geekbench 6. The system included 32GB of DDR5 memory, and as we see, the test run was completed yesterday.
