The test system with a 16-core AMD Ryzen 9 9950X was built on the new Asus ROG Crosshair X870E Hero motherboard, which was equipped with a liquid nitrogen cooling system – it allowed us to achieve a temperature of -189 °C. In addition to record processor frequencies and scores in Cinebench R23, world records were set in Geekbench 3 Multi-Core (170,646 points), 7-Zip (321,970 MIPS), Cinebench R20 (23,550 points) and HWBot x265 4K (77.57 frames per second). The frequency record was set by the Elmor overclocker, and the test records were recorded by the Safedisk overclocker. The record for clock frequency was recorded among all Ryzen series chips – the previous one at 7.45 GHz was set on the same Ryzen 9 9950X model.

Records in the 7-Zip, R20, R23, Geekbench 3 and HWBot tests were recorded for the category of 16-core chips. The previous record in 7-Zip was broken by 450 points at 6.8 GHz (was 6.725 GHz, also on AMD Ryzen 9 9950X); the record in Cinebench R20 was broken by 274 points at a frequency of 6.925 GHz (was 6.895 GHz, AMD Ryzen 9 9950X); the record on Cinebench R23 was 545 points higher than the previous achievement (6.925 GHz); multi-core Geekbench 3 was 3579 points higher than the previous record; and in HWBot X265 4K it was possible to increase the frequency by 0.982 frames per second.
