We got to play around with AMD's brand-new Ryzen 9 7950X a bit and it was immediately clear that this CPU was something special. With boot times that left us stunned and lightning-fast daily use, we knew we had to benchmark it.
Buckle up, it's fast.

Our choice of an RX 6600 XT might seem like an odd inclusion for this build, as it would ostensibly bottleneck the power of the Ryzen 9 7950X CPU. However, as we focused on CPU-intensive testing, we didn't notice any bottlenecking from the 6600 XT. Trust us, the benchmarks speak for themselves.
Cinebench tests processors for responsiveness and power in both intensive tasks (multi-core) and general daily usage tasks (single-core). The higher the points the better, and these scores sit squarely at the top of the Cinebench records, both in single- and multi-core processing. For comparison, Cinebench has the Threadripper 2990WX 32-Core Processor, a high-end workstation CPU, with a score of 30054, over four thousand points lower in multi-core processing tests.
We've included our AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D benchmarks for comparison
3DMark's CPU Profile tests single- and multi-thread performance. Again, we have an incredible leap in performance, approximately 2-3X better performance over the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D, AMD's last-gen flagship gaming CPU.
PassMark's CPU Mark test puts the processor through a number of different tests, including maths, physics, and compressions tests. The AMD Ryzen 9 7950X scored 61,561.3, again showing up the Ryzen 7 5800X3D by a magnitude of 3, absolutely driving home the raw power of this CPU.
ah.... and how much does all of that fast goodness cost today?
This was probably the biggest most anticipated launch for a CPU
Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
