AMD 2920X 12-Core 24-Thread Processor Review

Synthetic Benchmarks


  • 3DMark: 21554
  • Unigine: 5300
  • PCMark 10 (Express): 5100
  • WPrime: 4.2/64.221
  • CineBench R15: 175/2666
  • Handbrake: 92 New Record!

Threadripper CPUs have a few traits in common, and it’s clear their single core performance just isn’t on par with the Intel CPUs, which often have a higher clock speed overall. This puts AMD at a disadvantage in tests that favour the GPU, such as 3DMark, Unigine, and even PCMark 10, where more traditional quad-core solutions often come out best. Despite this, the 3DMark score was pretty impressive, keeping pace with the i7-8700K. It’s also a million miles ahead of the 32-core 2990 WX which only scored 17068.

Number Crunching

Threadripper lives up to its name in tasks that can use all 12-cores and 24-threads though. In tests like WPrime, it scored a mighty fast time of 64.221 seconds, which was enough to thrash the i9-9909K’s time of 83.564 seconds. It then went for the i9’s throat in CineBench too, scoring 2666 points, vs the i9’s 2071 points. However, the i9 still holds one on to the highest single core performance scores ever. Remarkably the 2920 set a new record for Handbrake though, seems 12 Cores and these clockspeeds are the perfect combination for faster 4K video rendering times, and you won’t hear me complaining about that performance!

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
