Stock AMD Threadripper Pro top model wipes the floor with Intel in Cinebench, monster score with overclock

Ahead of the release of AMD’s Threadripper 7000 (Pro) series, PCMag has had the chance to try out the 96-strong flagship. The website ran some remote tests with the Threadripper Pro 7995WX in a Dell Precision 7875 system. Not only does the chip appear to be a real powerhouse in Cinebench R23 with the stock settings, Videocardz has also obtained the scores of an overclocked copy.

The Precision 7875 achieves a multicore score of 100,291 points in the benchmark. That is 55.7% more than the score of the Lenovo ThinkStation P620, which has a Threadripper Pro 5995WX with 64 cores under its hood. Compared to the Intel Xeon w9-3495X (56 cores), which is in the HP Z8 Fury G5, this is an uplift of no less than 81.3 percent.

In addition, Videocardz has shared more information about an overclocking session that recently took place at AMD. For example, the OC team has reportedly managed to boost the 7995WX’s 96 cores to 4.4 GHz, which results in a power consumption of 620 watts. The website indicates that it should be possible to set a power limit of no less than 1,000 watts via Ryzen Master. Such consumption requires an exotic solution such as liquid nitrogen or helium to control temperatures.

According to the screenshot above, this allowed the chip to achieve 148,719 points in R23, just slightly more than the current record of a system with two 96-strong Epyc 9654 CPUs (147,668). Finally, a record is also said to have been broken in Cinebench 2024: with a score of 8,052 points, the 7995WX must be almost a third faster than the current record of the Xeon w9-3495X (6,159 points).
