AMD’s upcoming desktop processor generation Ryzen 5000 alias Vermeer not only makes Intel look old when it comes to multithreading performance, the single-threading performance should also be the first Have been ahead of the competition since the Athlon times. The single-threading test of the PassMark benchmark underpins AMD’s announcement: Even before the market launch, the six-core Ryzen 5 5600 X can be found in the database, which can be found with 3495 Points in front of the Core i9 – 10900 K (3175 points) pushes.

In the PassMark database, the Ryzen 5 5600 X thus the processor with the highest single-threading performance – results for Ryzen 7 5800 X, Ryzen 9 5900 X and Ryzen 9 5950 X are not yet included. Due to the higher boost clock frequencies, they should be a little faster.

AMD increases IPC So far, Intel had the single threading performance of the 9th and 10. Core-i generations are placed in the foreground in marketing, as they enable high “real world performance”. With the Zen 3 architecture at Ryzen 5000, AMD is increasing the performance per cycle (Instructions per Cycle, IPC) and at the same time the boost clock frequencies, for Intel too to leave behind in this discipline.

The fastest AMD processor so far in the single-threading test by PassMark is now on place 22: the high-clocked eight-core Ryzen 7 3800 XT with 2888 points. In spring 2020 PassMark changed the scoring and therefore classified according to the website Planet3DNow all Ryzen models from the folgli
