Blender Classroom

Looking at Blender Classroom, performance from the Ryzen 9 7900X is very strong. Intel’s Core i7 and Core i9 competitors are tough to ignore, though, particularly with the much cheaper but very power-hungry 13700K almost matching AMD’s 24-thread processor.

Cinebench R23 nT

Cinebench multi-threaded testing actually sees the Core i7-13700K outgunning the Ryzen 9 7900X. That’s not a good showing from AMD. Yes, the Intel chip commands more energy but it also costs £90 less.

Cinebench R23 1T

Single-threaded performance on Zen 4 is outstanding, and the Ryzen 9 7900X is no different here. We see a Cinebench 1T score that is only comfortably beaten by the high-clocked Core i9s and AMD’s own Ryzen 9 7950X.
