Starting with the specifications, the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X "100-000001277" CPU is the flagship offering with two Zen 5 CCDs and a single IOD. The CPU offers 16 cores, 32 threads, a base clock of 4.3 GHz, and a max boost clock of up to 5.7 GHz. It comes with 80 MB of cache (64 MB L3 + 16 MB L2) and has a TDP of 170W. Now in terms of clock speed, while the boost clock is identical to the Ryzen 9 7950X, the base clock is slightly dialed down by -200 MHz but we can expect a lot of efficiency coming out of this flagship product, especially in terms of multi-threaded performance.

The 6-Core "Zen 5" CPU appears to have been tested within the CInebench R23 benchmark. There are two scores with one possibly running at the default configuration and the other using a PBO profile. At stock, the CPU scores 16205 points in the multi-core & 2160 points in the single-core tests. This marks a 5% increase in multi-threaded performance and a 10% uplift in single-core performance. With PBO, the chip scores 17,037 points in multi-core and 2244 points in the single-core tests. These mark a 10% improvement in multi-core & a 14% uplift in single-core scores.
