AMD Ryzen 5 7600X gains 14% with CPB enabled

Initial data from reviewers on AMD’s slowest Zen4 processor.

AMD Ryzen 5 7600X is the only 6-core processor in the AMD Raphael lineup. It is also the least expensive model which retails at $299, the same price as 5600X. We received some early data on Cinebench R23 benchmark results with this processor, and kindly requested results with CPB (Core Performance Boost) enabled and disabled. This technology disables CPU boost and is often used to quickly fix high temperature issues.

Data was collected on X670E system equipped with DDR5-6000 memory and dual fan AIO kit. The system had the latest BIOS available.

According to the data, with CBP disabled, Ryzen 5 7600X scores 1681 points in single-core test and 1920 points with CBP enabled. This is an increase of 14.2%. In the multi-core test, the same CPU scores 13003 and 14767 points respectively, which is a difference of 13.5% with CBP enabled.

According to the HWINFO output, the CPU runs relatively cool at 56C and 60.2W peak, while the core clock sits somewhere in the 4.7GHz range. With CBP enabled, the power consumption reaches 110W and 92.1°C while the CPU clocks at 5.455GHz.

These are just early benchmarks, and there’s a chance that performance will improve as board makers release updated BIOS (which is said to be “ready for testing”). Reviewers are now busy testing the Ryzen 7000 processors, as AMD is expected to lift the embargo on September 26, a day before the official launch.
