There are never too many leaks about new processors, especially when it comes to 7nm AMD Ryzen 3000 desktop processors. The source of another leak was the UserBenchmark performance test database, which found a fresh entry about testing an engineering sample of the future 12-core Ryzen 3000 processor th series. About this chip we have already , but now I would like to consider the test results themselves.
So, an engineering sample codenamed 2D3212BGMCWH2_37/34_N was tested on a Qogir-MTS motherboard (most likely an AMD X570 engineering motherboard) along with 16 GB of DDR4-3200 RAM, a Radeon RX 550 video card and a 500 GB hard drive . The frequency of this engineering sample is only 3,4 / 3,7 GHz. The final version of the chip will have a clearly higher frequency, and according to rumors, the 12-core Ryzen 3000 will even be able to overclock up to 5,0 GHz.
As for the test results, they are not at all admirable. If we compare the results of an engineering sample with the results of AMD's current generation 12-core processor, the Ryzen Threadripper 2920X, it turns out that the new product loses up to 15%. Of course, there is a very significant difference in clock frequencies - for the Ryzen Threadripper 2920X they are 3,5 / 4,3 GHz. The final version of the 12-core Ryzen 3000 should be faster and clocked, so it should outperform the Ryzen Threadripper 2920X. But at the moment it is not necessary to count on a big difference.
To justify the results of the Ryzen 3000, we note once again that this is only an engineering sample with a rather low frequency. In addition, it was tested, most likely, with drivers that have not yet been optimized. Finally, UserBenchmark can hardly be called a reliable source of information about the performance of a particular processor. And it's obviously not worth judging a chip by one test.
But, apparently, the performance gain due to the increase in IPC will be lower than expected. Note that this indicator will in any case be higher than that of Zen +, but the largest increase will be felt only in some tasks. The good news is that the Ryzen 3000 announcement is less than two weeks away, and at the presentation, AMD will clearly share information about the performance of their new products.
