AMD® Ryzen™ 7 9700X

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700X is a desktop processor with 8 cores and 16 threads, built on the Zen 5 architecture (4 nm process). It launched in Jun 2024. Clocks run from 3.8 GHz base to 5.5 GHz boost. A 32-MB L3 cache backs the cores (5.1 MB per core). It addresses DDR5 memory up to 256 GB across 2 channels. The chip drops into the AM5 socket and exposes PCIe 5.0 (28 lanes). Rated TDP is 65 W. Notable platform capabilities: AVX-512, AVX-VNNI, AMD-V (Hardware Virtualization), AMD SEV.

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700X scores 4,649 in single-core performance and 37,062 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 13,126 for overall performance, 30,599 for productivity performance, 28,752 for creator performance, 37,989 for engineering performance and 23,213 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 4,633 per core, 2,316 per thread and 570 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 1,628. Its performance index is 163, so its overall performance is 63% above the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.

Scores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.

In the individual workload tests the AMD Ryzen 7 9700X scores 119,844 in integer math, 78,802 in floating-point math, 434,973 in compression, 21,739 in cryptography, 2,217 in physics simulation, 35,156 in vector SIMD, 190 in the prime sieve and 46,491 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 103% above in integer math, 72% above in floating-point math, 91% above in compression, 89% above in cryptography, 103% above in physics simulation, 127% above in vector SIMD, 184% above in the prime sieve and 105% above in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700X has 8 physical cores and runs 16 logical threads. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 3.80 GHz and boosts up to 5.50 GHz. Its clock multiplier is unlocked for overclocking.
