AMD Ryzen 7 9700X & Ryzen 5 9600X “Zen 5” CPUs Tested At Both Default & PBO Configs, 2% Uplift in Cyberpunk

AMD's Ryzen 7 9700X & Ryzen 5 9600X "Zen 5" CPUs have been tested in newly leaked benchmarks at both default & PBO configurations.

AMD's Ryzen 7 9700X "Zen 5" 8-Core CPU Appears With "Ryzen 9 9700X" Labeled on IHS, Tested Along With 6-Core Ryzen 5 9600X In Both Default & PBO Configurations

AMD's first Ryzen 9000 "Zen 5" Desktop CPUs, the Ryzen 7 9700X and Ryzen 5 9600X, are just a few days weeks away from launch. We have seen several benchmarks but now we have new ones that cover both default and PBO configurations of these chips. The Ryzen 7 9700X is an 8-core chip and the Ryzen 5 9600X is a 6-core chip. These chips target mainstream audiences & should carry price points similar to the existing family (if not higher/lower).
