Synthetic Benchmarks


  • 3DMark: 18019
  • Unigine: 5296
  • PCMark 10 (Express): 4440
  • WPrime: 40.578
  • CineBench R15: 172/4452
  • Handbrake: 89

It’s immediately clear how far this CPU is from a standard consumer CPU here. In all of our graphics benchmarks, it’s pretty darn slow. It gave a 3DMark score on-par with the more affordable Ryzen 5 1500X, and it gave us our slowest Unigine score to date too. This isn’t a gaming CPU in its stock state, only by disabling most of the cores in the software will you get that performance up. Is it slow, no, but most things are faster none the less. Even PCMark 10 was rubbish, although it did outperform one CPU; the Threadripper 2990WX.

Turn The Tables

Putting the CPU into serious number crunching tasks, however, and that performance ratio really shows. It scored the second fastest WPrime score we’ve ever had, with only the 32-core Threadripper beating it. Then it scored the second highest Cinebench score to date, with only the 32-core Threadripper beating that. Finally, it scored a whopping 89 FPS in Handbrake, our second highest score to date, beating out the 2990WX, and just 3 FPS behind the 2920X. If you’re less interested in 3DMark, and more interested in Premiere, Handbrake, and other transcoding software, it’s an absolute monster.
