Although the acclaimed launch date will be somewhen during the upcoming months news leaks related to Threadripper are making it through on almost a daily basis. This time Tweaktown jumped the gun and they found some leaks in the Geekbench database. The results are pretty similar to AMD's existing Ryzen CPUs.



Before looking at all these numbers a few things need to be clarified. First of all the chip tested is an engineering sample and not the final CPU, furthermore the DDR4 memory ran at pretty low speeds. According to the Geekbench database, the upcoming AMD Threadripper 1950X at stock frequencies hits 26'768 points in the multi-core and 4'074 points in the single-core routine, while the Ryzen 7 1800X with the same memory speed is able to achieve 21'513 points in multi-core and 4'176 points in single-core.

Although the SKU of this chip doesn't match with already published information, the core count suggests that what was tested could be the upcoming flagship chip. According to the information in the Geekbench database, the Threadripper 1950X processor should pack a base CPU clock of 3.4GHz and XFR boost clock of up to 3.8GHz. Furthermore it has 32MB of L3 cache, 8MB of L2 cache, bringing us to a total of 40MB of cache. The benchmark has been run on an AMD Whitehaven motherboard.

According to the Geekbench database, the Core i9-7900X processor, which features 10 cores and 20 threads, scores 29'673 points in the multi-core routine. Compared to the 26'768 points Threadripper 1950X scores in same test, this means a similar Intel chip with the same core count could be significantly faster. If these numbers are actually correct, we hope that AMD will manage to squeeze some more performance out of the cores until launch.
