Here&#8217;s how it compares to the Ryzen 9 7950X.Starting on July 7, AnandTech forum member Igor_Kavinski began sharing Blender benchmark results for the Ryzen 9 9950X engineering sample, courtesy of an anonymous source. The benchmarks covered a range of TDPs, starting at a super-slim 60W and going up to the maximum 230W. These results give us a comprehensive idea of how power efficiency will improve with the next-gen Zen 5 AMD CPUs.Before proceeding, it\u2019s evident that the newer Ryzen 9 9950X outperforms the older chip when given a more generous power budget. While we didn\u2019t test the Ryzen 9 7950X at 230W TDP, reports from other users suggest a ~20% performance improvement in that scenario. The interesting results start at 170W and below.AMD Ryzen 9 9950X vs. Ryzen 9 7950X Blender BenchmarksTDPBlender &#8220;Monster&#8221; ScoreBlender &#8220;Junkshop&#8221; ScoreBlender &#8220;Classroom&#8221; ScoreBlender Overall ScoreRyzen 9 9950X 230W353.4226.1171.3750.8Ryzen 9 9950X 160W319.7205.8152.5678Ryzen 9 7950X 170W289.7172.8136.7599.2Ryzen 9 9950X 120W268.7177.5129.8576Ryzen 9 9950X 90W227.5150.6108.8486.9Ryzen 9 9950X 60W153.2101.872.7327.7At 170W, the Ryzen 9 7950X achieves a cumulative Blender score of 599.2. The Ryzen 9 9950X scores 678 at 160W, outperforming its predecessor by about ~11% at more standard CPU TDPs.The performance differences between the Ryzen 9 9950X and Ryzen 9 7950X start to narrow when the newer chip is set to 120W. Despite running with a 50W deficit, it is still within about ~5% of its predecessor&#8217;s performance.These engineering sample benchmarks provide more insight into AMD&#8217;s upcoming Ryzen 9000 Series CPUs. Recently, Ryzen 9 9900X Geekbench results appeared, suggesting the new architecture will take the crown in single-core performance, surpassing the last-gen Ryzen 9 7950X3D and even the Intel Core i9-14900K.Overall, these emerging benchmarks look promising for the future of AMD desktop platform users. However, some caution is necessary with pre-release benchmarks. Beyond raw performance gains, the power efficiency improvements here also bode well for the eventual arrival of Zen 5 laptop chips. The 60W TDP results are particularly notable, aligning with an Intel Core i9-10980XE according to Blender&#8217;s benchmark database."},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Gadgets","item":"https:\/\/techloot.co.uk\/gadgets\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"AMD Ryzen 9 9950X Engineering Sample Showcases Efficiency in Blender Benchmarks at Various TDPs","item":"https:\/\/techloot.co.uk\/gadgets\/amd-ryzen-9-9950x-engineering-sample-showcases-efficiency-in-blender-benchmarks-at-various-tdps\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
