The Ryzen 7 5700X is only 2% slower than the 5800X on GeekBench

The Ryzen 7 5700X it was announced by AMD two weeks ago along with other processor models, and today we can see how it performs on Geekbench 5, revealed by @Benchleaks, on Twitter. The results point to a performance of about 2% below the 5800X.

Comparatively, the Ryzen 7 5700X has 8 cores and 16 threads with a clock speed of 3.4 GHz and an introductory price of $299. The Ryzen 7 5800X also comes with eight cores and 16 threads, but it runs at a higher base frequency of 3.8GHz. In terms of TDP, the 5800X has 105W while the 5700X has 65W.

In the Geekbench 5 results, the 5700X scored 1645 points in the single-threaded tests and 10196 in the multi-threaded onewhile the 5800X achieves 1671 points for the single thread score and 10338 points for the multi-thread score.

The performance of both, therefore, is quite similar.

The AMD 5700X processor was tested in a system with an ASRock X570 Taichi motherboard and 32GB of 3200MHz RAM.

It is important to note that benchmark tests are not always an accurate indication of performance, as they use workloads that are sometimes different from actual ones. They serve to give you an idea of ​​what to expect.

If, in practice, the performance between both processors, 5700X and 5800X, are similar, it is possible that the 5800X has a strong competitor within its own family. This is because the Ryzen 7 5800X has an introductory price of $449, while the Ryzen 7 5700X, as mentioned above, is priced at $299.
