AMD Ryzen 9 9950x tested with unlimited power settings and outperformed Intel Core i9-14900K

At the end of this month, it is said that AMD will put on sale The new processors for desktop computers Grain Ridgeprocessors that continue with the AM5 socket and that come with Zen 5 cores. From its top-of-the-range configuration, the Ryzen 9 9950Xwe have already seen some leaks with data from this new generation, this time we have been able to see in the Anandtech forums to a user With this processor running at a unlimited power settings as can also be seen in Intel’s top-of-the-range models.

The user has made different tests with different energy values, including modes of 253W and unlimited that unlocked Intel Core can access. With an unlimited power configuration, this new AMD Ryzen 9 9950X, outperforming by up to 20% in performance compared to the more powerful AM4s like the Ryzen 9 7950X. However, what is surprising is that works very well with low consumptionbeing able to surpass the Intel Core i9-12900K with only 60W, and also the Ryzen 9 5950X with 90W consumption.

Compared to the Intel Core i9-14900K, this AMD Ryzen 9 9950X is faster by up to 39% with the same power settingsalthough these tests They are not made in a laboratory with similar hardware that can give a significant advantage to the AMD solution. In a similar consumption configuration of 120W in both processors, the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X almost managed to reach to Intel’s current top of the range, the Core i9-14900K.

Another advantage of this new AMD is its temperaturewhich has been maintained below 80 degrees Even with an unlimited power setting, if we limit its consumption to 253W, this processor runs at speeds of 5.5 GHz without barely exceeding 61ºeven in a configuration standard of 120W manages to maintain a temperature of 55º.

But these initial tests only serve to have a first look of what this upcoming AMD Ryzen 9 9950X with 16 cores and 32 threads can do. For more reliable results we must expect that AMD opens round of official reviews with the final samples sent, since the processor used for these tests is still a engineering sample which does not have to show the same result as the final version.
