Last week, AMD unveiled four Ryzen series processors 5000 that use Zen 3 architecture. the debut will take place on November 5. The manufacturer praises, above all, further improvements in the construction of processors, thanks to which we are to receive noticeably higher performance, especially in games. AMD is not afraid to even define its systems as the best also for games, which has been Intel’s bargaining chip so far. Every day, new information about the upcoming Zen 3 processors appears on the web and the new report is directly related to the popular GeekBench 5 benchmark. It tested a new version of the Apple iMac Pro with 16 – AMD Ryzen 9 core processor 5950 X. According to the information extracted from the GeekBench database, the processor during testing was overclocked to 6 GHz.

According to data from the GeekBench 5 performance test, when testing an Apple iMac Pro with an AMD processor Ryzen 9 5950 X has successfully overclocked the unit to 6 GHz.

The whole message is based on two pieces of information . The first is the mere presence of a next-generation AMD processor in the Apple iMac Pro, which means that Tim Cook is now also working on variants with AMD Vermeer processors. The second is the surprisingly high OC clock speed that was achieved in this device, provided, of course, the presented data is authentic. The entry in the benchmark itself does not reveal the actual core clock, but the information obtained from here clearly shows the timing during the test. It ranged from 5, 92 to 6, 02 GHz and probably such a high OC was possible with the use of appropriate cooling.

Looking at the single-threaded result, we can say that the clock speed was really very high. Over 2,000 points is a result unattainable for virtually any other processor, also the multithreaded result is very high (which is not surprising, after all, Ryzen 9 5950 X supports 32 threads) and is almost 18 thousand points. A really efficient unit is getting ready, which will do great not only in programming
