AMD Ryzen 5 5600X Takes The Lead in Passmark Single Thread Scores

Yet, another leak of some kind finds its way to the web; this round, the six-core AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, has been spotted in PassMark. The hexacore proc is the slowest clocked one of the four processors ...

it's been 10 or more years since AMD could say they had the fastest single threaded CPU performance...but the 5600X just took that crown on Passmark. and they didn't take it by just a hair...but by a 10%, which is nothing to sneeze at!

I hope Tiger Lake-S is really good.

This post hurts my pocket book and splaining the why's of cpu to my wife.

anything I buy now will be waaay better than my i7-6700...so I think I will coast along on Zen2 when people flood the market trying to upgrade.

Cries in Sandy-bridge ... This will quite literally be double the ST performance of a 3930k

Took long enough, geeze

Come on Intel, drop prices on the 10th gen so I can build a new Hackintosh.

There was some market fixing by Intel, in case you've forgotten. AMD always had better innovations, IMO, and were only held back by their smaller size due to Intel's immoral BS. And yet despite that, they made APUs mainstream, got their chips into two generations of consoles (or more, who knows?), invested insanely well, got the smallest and most efficient transistor size and more.

In short, they've more than earned their place at the top. I've always been a proud AMD fan, not only because of Intel's business "strategies" but because I honestly thought they innovated far more.

Now, a couple of decades later, I've been proven Right.

I hope the 5600x Passmark score translates to real world gaming performance. Be great to see AMD/Team Red take the lead.

what this is showing is how good AMD's IPC gains are because they still struggle to hit the 5.0ghz mark, which Intel doesn't seem to have any issues.

if that's stock with DDR2-3200...impressive. very impressive!
