The leak was first shared on Twitter, with the tweet arriving with a CPU-Z screenshot of a 12 core CPU. This image also revealed the single and multi threaded tests of the processors that received some impressive scores. According to a TechRadar report, Team Red’s Ryzen 9 5900X scored 653 points in single threaded tests and 9,482 in the multi threaded tests. This marks a notable gain of 15 to 25 percent in comparison to the Ryzen 9 3900X, which is the current gen’s high end 12 core CPU.

Unfortunately, no further details were revealed in the post and the finer details regarding the upcoming AMD CPU are also unknown. The screenshot of the tests didn’t reveal the clock speeds of the chip either, so we have very little information to go on here. But if this is valid, then we can observe a noticeable gain in performance with new Zen 3 architecture.
Keep in mind, that this is still an unconfirmed leak, so take this report with a pinch of salt for now. The AMD Ryzen 5000 series launch is just around the corner, and we can expect further leaks and reports to surface online as well. So stay tuned for more updates that should arrive soon.
