Cinebench and Geekbench:
Cinebench R23:
How does this version differ from its predecessors? Firstly, it’s more realistic in terms of the score obtained depending on the processor used. As a reminder, Cinebench only tests the capabilities of your processor in single or multi-thread mode. But the main difference is that the benchmark lasts 10 minutes by default! MAXON’s idea with Cinebench R23 is to offer a benchmark that provides a degree of stability in terms of temperature and boost frequencies. Here we’ll be testing the fast version in Single Core and Multi Core.
As with CPU-Z, the single-core score is identical, but our Ryzen 9 9950X3D does better than the 9950X, perhaps thanks to the latest driver and chipsetupdates.
Cinebench R24:
As you might expect, this is the latest version of MAXON’s Cinebench benchmark. It was released in September 2023 to provide more accurate testing for current and next-generation CPUs. You’ll see straight away that the scores are lower, the benchmark lasts longer and it’s also possible to evaluate your graphics card.
Our Ryzen 9 9950X3D moves up the rankings in multithreading, but still lags well behind the Intel U9 285K.
Geekbench 3.4.4 :
This is a benchmark available in several revisions, with version 5 being used more and more in recent months and often used for CPU performance leaks, although the latest version is slowly taking over. It allows you to obtain two scores: one in single core and the other in multi-core. To take full advantage of this benchmark, you will need a licence. Even if this benchmark is no longer really up to date, it is still very often used by overclockers to highlight the memoryscore .
The latest Ryzen 9000Xs are the most productive in single-core mode, although the rankings return to a more logical order when we move on to the multi-core score. The new Ryzen 9 9950X3D comes in second place, just a few points behind the Intel U9 285K.
Geekbench 5.2.5 :
Like the version above, version 5 of Geekbench allows you to test memory and processor performance. We’ve decided to add this extra benchmark, but why? The CPU benchmark uses new tests that more closely simulate the tasks faced by processors in recent applications. Geekbench 5 also increases the memory used during the benchmark to better reflect the impact of this parameter on the CPU results.
As with version 3.4.4, AMD dominates the single-core segment, although things are more complicated for our Ryzen 9 9950X3D in multi-core.
Geekbench 6.3.0 :
We recently received a key for version 6 of Geekbench. So we took advantage of the change in configuration to add this new benchmark to our test suite. This is the latest benchmark and is intended to be more representative of current configurations. Primate Labs also assures us that the scores displayed by Geekbench 6 are more accurate in relation to the various existing devices and platforms. The test is also much longer than the other two versions we use.
With this latest test, the gaps have narrowed and it’s our Ryzen 9 9950X3D that dominates the single core. No problem in multi-core, where it does almost as well as the i9 14900KS.
