The Ryzen 9 7950X was tested on an ASUS ROG Crosshair X670E Extreme motherboard paired with 32GB DDR5-6000 RAM. As part of the test, the processor automatically overclocked to a frequency of 5759 MHz, which is slightly higher than the 5.7 GHz declared by the manufacturer. The Ryzen 9 7950X has 16 physical cores with 32 virtual threads. The current flagship AMD Ryzen 9 5950X and Intel Core i9-12900K processors still have the same number of cores. At the same time, the new AMD chip has fewer cores than the upcoming flagship Core i9-13900K processor. The latter will be equipped with 24 physical cores, but 16 of them are energy efficient and do not support Hyper-Threading.
