AMD’s 12-Core ‘Ryzen Threadripper 1920X’ Surfaces In Sisoft Sandra Database, Benchmarked on ASUS Zenith Extreme

 

Since launch is just a few hours away, and the benchmark is fairly recent (and most importantly the performance is actually up to the standard we would expect from such a chip) this benchmark can be thought of as fairly indicative of real world performance. The processor is clocked at an all-core speed of 4.0 GHz, which is fairly decent for a 12-core part. The motherboard in question is the ASUS Zenith Extreme.  The three areas that the Threadripper 1920X was tested in are Arithmetic, Multi-Media and Cryptography.

As you can see in all three areas, the Threadripper 1920X shines. In processor Arithmetic, the 1920X scores a score of 318.58 GOPs which is the 12th best score of all time. To put this into perspective, up till last generation the only processor capable of achieving this was the enterprise level Intel Xeon E5-2690 v4; a 14 Core / 28 Threads $2099 chip! For less than half the price (the 1920X is has an MSRP of $799) you are getting similar performance on a commercial platform.

In the multi-media department, we see that the Threadripper 1920X scores 670.91 MPix/s, which once again is a higher score than the E5-2690 v4. This type of consistent performance is what leads me to believe that AMD is done polishing the performance of their Thread-ripping platform and disrupt the consumer HEDT market and also force Intel to respond in kind. The 1920X ranks 23 in the entire Sisoft Sandra database with this score.

Finally, we have the cryptography department. This is one place where the Ryzen Threadripper 1920X performs much better than expected. Not only does it blow away all Intel competition, but it actually scores higher than the Intel 7900X, something it was not able to do in the other benchmarks. With a score of 30.11 GB/s, it takes home the 4th place in the entire world in the Sisoft Ranker. This is truly exceptional performance from the CPU. Keep in mind however, that while Sisoft is an excellent test of maximum theoretical performance, at the end of the day, developers will need to learn take advantage of AMD’s brand new platform for it to truly shine

Nice, hope the 16 core can keep the same clocks

@Mr_Troll Your opinion is valuable, ya know

 

For the benchmarks, I don't know whether to say that they're good or they're not representative of the actual performance in the things we enthusiasts use these products for, but that's for tomorrow where all the reviewers are then allowed to show performance numbers in games, content creation workloads, and synthetic benchmarks.

12 core CPUs are for poor people, you need 16 cores these days.

[Doobeedoo]

So I wonder 12 and 14 down the line maybe. More SKUs and all. 

[RawLobster]

I still want them to yolo drop a 20 core.

I won't rest until I have 1kc/2kt.

There's always that tiny 1000 core research project CPU. If you invest a couple of million into them they might give you a node shrink from 32nm to 14nm so you can add a bunch more cores  

On a SINGLE AA battery btw
