Alleged 6-Core Ryzen 7000-Series Tested in Basemark's GPU Rendering Tests

An AMD engineering sample CPU with the model name 100-000000593-20_Y has appeared in a couple of graphics rendering tests, paired with an NVIDIA RTX A4000 GPU. The CPU appears to be a 6-core Ryzen 7000-series chip that was fitted to a Gigabyte X670E Aorus Master motherboard. Based on the leaked information that was dug up by @TUM_APISAK, it has a clock speed of 4.4 GHz, but little else is known about the CPU. Basemark might not be the most widely used test out there and both the tests that were run, were GPU rendering tests. Sin embargo, courtesy of @harukaze5719, we have some graphs comparing the alleged Ryzen 7000-series CPU with a Ryzen 9 5950X which is using the same GPU.

The first test is an OpenGL test where the 6-core CPU beats the 16-core CPU by a not insignificant 9.5 percent overall, but by more than 11 percent when it comes to the minimum frame rate in the benchmark. This is a significant performance lead, although in the Vulcan test, the difference is somewhat smaller with a 7 percent lead for the 6-core CPU. It’s unclear how well these tests scale with more CPU cores, so we wouldn’t read too much into either of these benchmark results, but it seems like AMD’s Zen 4 architecture will deliver on what AMD has promised based on these early tests. We’ve independently verified that the numbers are in the ballpark of the engineering samples that AMD’s partners have today, which means that these numbers haven’t been faked in any way. Keep in mind that AMD is still working on its AM5 platform and it’s still early days. We understand that AMD has recently fixed a few platform bugs that would’ve been showstoppers if AMD had launched the AM5 platform with them still present.
