Frequencies achieved:
As with every new processor test, our first idea is to check whether the advertised frequencies are actually achieved. To do this, we’re going to use the Cinebench R23 benchmark. Two scenarios will be used: a single-core benchmark and a multi-core benchmark. The idea is to be able to judge the frequency achieved and compare it with what Intel has announced in its slides.
Remember that the Boost frequency in the bench differs according to the processor. As Intel points out, when we talk about Max Turbo frequency, we are talking about the maximum frequency achievable by one of the processor cores running a single-core(mono-threaded ) workload. This frequency varies according to several factors: the load, the cooling system and therefore the temperature of your processor. It’s important to keep this in mind.
The first step is to activate only the XMP I profile in the BIOS before running the tests under Cinebench R23. As with all other processors, the power management mode under Windows 11 is high performance.
Test with the Ryzen 7 9800X3D :
As we begin this first series of tests, we can’t do without thinking about the Ryzen 7 7800X3D and its operating frequencies. It reached a frequency of 5045 MHz on single-core tasks. With our Ryzen 7 9800X3D, a frequency of 5225 MHz is reached on core #2, which works alternately with core #4.
As far as multi-core tasks are concerned, when the 8 cores of the Ryzen 7 7800X3D were used, the frequency varied between 4850 and 4875 MHz. Here, the 8 cores of our Ryzen 7 9800X3D reach frequencies of 5225 MHz!
So we can actually see that frequencies have improved, whether on single-core or multi-core tasks. Now that we know that our Ryzen 7 9800X3D is fully operational, it’s time for our various tests!
