AMD’s Ryzen 7 9700X and Ryzen 5 9600X “Zen 5” processors have been tested in recently leaked benchmarks in both default and PBO configurations.
AMD’s 8-core Ryzen 7 9700X “Zen 5” CPU appears with “Ryzen 9 9700X” labeled on IHS, tested with 6-core Ryzen 5 9600X in default and PBO configurations
AMD’s first Ryzen 9000 “Zen 5” desktop processors, the Ryzen 7 9700X and Ryzen 5 9600X, are just days or weeks away from launching. We’ve seen several benchmarks, but now we have new ones that cover both the default and PBO configurations of these chips. The Ryzen 7 9700X is an 8-core chip, and the Ryzen 5 9600X is a 6-core chip. These chips are aimed at the mainstream and are expected to be priced similarly to (or higher/lower) than the existing family.
In terms of performance, the 8-core AMD Ryzen 7 9700X processor scored 863 points in CPU-z single-core tests and 8,237 points in multi-core tests. In Cinebench, the chip scored 2,218 points in single-core tests and 20,125 points in multi-core tests. These tests were conducted with the default power profile.
With PBO enabled, scores jumped to 887 points in CPU-z single-core tests and 8,748 points in multi-core tests while Cinebench scores jumped to 2,280 points in single-core tests and 21,533 points in multi-core tests. Here’s the breakdown of default performance versus PBO:
Ryzen 7 9700X Performance (Default and PBO)
CPU-z Single-Core Processor: +2.78%
CPU-z Multi-Core Processor: +6.20%
Cinebench R23 single-core: +2.79%
Cinebench R23 Multi-Core: +6.99%
The 6-core AMD Ryzen 5 9600X CPU scored 849 points in single-core and 6,179 points in multi-core in CPUz and in Cinebench R23, the chip scored 2,160 points in single-core and 16,205 points in multi-core tests with the default power configuration. With PBO enabled, the CPU scored 875.2 points in single-core and 6,595 points in multi-core tests in CPU-z while in Cinebench R23, it scored 2,244 points in single-core and 17,037 points in the multi-core test. Here is the breakdown of performance in default versus PBO:
Ryzen 5 9600X Performance (Default and PBO)
CPU-z Single-Core Processor: +3.06%
CPU-z Multi-Core Processor: +6.73%
Cinebench R23 single-core: +3.88%
Cinebench R23 Multi-Core: +5.13%
As you can see, the AMD Ryzen 7 9700X sees an average improvement of 3% in single-core performance and 6.5% in multi-core performance with PBO enabled, while the Ryzen 5 9600X sees a 3.5% improvement in single-core scores and 5.5% in multi-core scores with PBO enabled. Here’s how the performance of both chips compares to current-gen offerings.

Additionally, a single gaming performance measurement of the 8-core AMD Ryzen 7 9700X CPU was also shared. The CPU was running alongside the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 GPU in Cyberpunk 2077 with both default and PBO configurations. The game was running at 720p to assess CPU-side performance. By default, the chip averaged 251.05 FPS, and with PBO enabled, the FPS increased to 256.26, a 2% improvement. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the Cyberpunk 2077 test:
Ryzen 7 9700X in Cyberpunk 2077:
AVG FPS: 251.05 (default) vs. 256.26 (PBO) = +2.07%
MAX FPS: 335.99 (default) vs. 343.17 (PBO) = +2.13%
MIN FPS: 144.31 (default) vs. 129.97 (PBO) = -9.93%
Temperatures and power figures are also shared for the AMD Ryzen 7 9700X “Zen 5” processor which peaks at 66°C and 87.8W in the AIDA64 stress test.

It was also revealed that the processor was shipped with a wrong IHS that labels the chip as the Ryzen 9 9700X when the real naming convention should be Ryzen 7 9700X. It is believed that a wrong label on a certain batch could be the reason for the delay of the Ryzen 9000 “Zen 5” desktop processor, but AMD revealed to us that the issue stems from poor quality during testing.

AMD’s Ryzen 9000 “Zen 5” desktop processors will hit stores in August, with the Ryzen 7 9700X and Ryzen 5 9600X being the first to hit the market on August 8, so stay tuned for more on the upcoming AM5 family.
