The entries show a single score of 2022/2024, and a multi-core score of 17877/17448. Compared to the Geekbench entry of an overclocked Ryzen 9 3900X, clocked at 5.88GHz also running on an iMacPro, there's a ≈20% uplift in single-core performance. For comparison, @harukaze5719 made a chart showing these scores compared to a stock Ryzen 9 3950X, Core i9-10900K, Core i9-10910, and a Core i7-1165G7, showing the Ryzen 9 5950X leading the pack.

AMD has scheduled the launch of the Ryzen 5000 series for November 5th, pricing the Ryzen 9 5950X at $799.

KitGuru says: Are you hoping to grab a Ryzen 5000 processor at launch? Are you expecting to see better overclocking results with this latest generation?
