AMD Ryzen 9 7900X leak suggests an impressive 12-core CPU

AMD’s Ryzen 9 7900X processor has been sighted in a benchmark where it shows a clean pair of heels to the model it will soon succeed.

The 12-core CPU which will debut in just over a week replaces the 5900X and it has turned up in a Geekbench 5 result as flagged by @BenchLeaks on Twitter (via Tom’s Hardware).

The Ryzen 7900X recorded scores of 2,167 for single-thread and 18,446 for multi-thread, which in both cases is roughly 30% faster than the 5900X, going by typical Geekbench results for the latter (actually around 32% quicker for multi-core). As ever with any leak, be skeptical and remember there’s a possibility that it could be faked.

That said, the observed 30% generational increase is what was touted by AMD for the single-thread uplift from next-gen chips, although the prediction was higher for multi-threaded workloads at 45%.

Analysis: Caution first, and let’s not forget the real battle here

In these leak scenarios, we must not just keep caution at the forefront of our minds regarding authenticity, but also remember that even if it is genuine, this is just a single benchmark – so a pretty limited perspective of the (purported) performance of the Ryzen 7900X.

The fact that it lines up with AMD’s pre-release marketing figures for single-thread is reassuring, though, even if the multi-thread result isn’t quite as impressive a jump from the current-gen 5900X; albeit it’s still a substantial increase. We could well see better results for multi-core in other benchmarks, and it’s too early to start judging these next-gen processors before they’re even released.

The Ryzen 9 7900X will be the model under the flagship 7950X when Zen 4 processors debut on September 27, and it’ll be pitched at the same price point as the 5900X, namely $399 (around £345, AU$590).

Intel’s Raptor Lake is also inbound, of course, albeit rumored to be lagging behind Ryzen 7000 processors in terms of actually going on sale, with Intel’s 13th-gen CPUs not expected to be on shelves until mid-October or slightly thereafter.

The real battle, of course, won’t be Ryzen 7000 versus 5000, but Ryzen 7000 versus Raptor Lake – and from what we can glean from rumors, it’s going to be a close-run battle. Pricing will be a key factor, obviously enough, and hints dropped from the grapevine suggest that Intel is not likely to want to go easy on the price tags. Even so, we can’t imagine Team Blue pitching its next-gen chips to look a poor value proposition compared to AMD’s Zen 4 offerings.

Android 12 will bring the end of third-party share menus

Apps like Sharedr will no longer be able to replace the default share dialog. What you need to know Third-party apps will not be allowed to replace the Android share menu in Android 12. You will no longer be able to set apps like Sharedr as the default. Google says it never intended to allow third-party apps to replace the official Sharesheet. One of Android 12 's biggest highlights is the new Material You design language, which brings major changes to nearly every key UI component. Android 12 will also introduce a major change to the way users share links and photos, according to a report from XDA Developers . On Android 11 , Google allows third-party apps and OEMs to fully customize the Android Sharesheet, which is the reason why the share dialog differs from one app to another. It is even possible to completely bypass the official Android Sharesheet by setting an app like Sharedr as the default Sharesheet. In addition to providing a more consistent experience, Sharedr

The new Amazon Fire HD 10 is growing into a viable productivity tablet

An already good entertainment device finally gets productive. Amazon has been busy churning out a whole host of new devices and upgrades to existing devices over the past several months. Earlier this year, I reviewed the excellent Echo Buds (2nd Gen) , and even the fantastic Echo Frames (2nd Gen), have since been updated to include options with sunglass and blue light filtering lenses . In early May, we also learned that Amazon was refreshing the Echo Show 5 and Echo Show 8 and that it was even rolling out its first Echo Show for kids . While newer and more novel products like the ones mentioned above often see a faster update cycle, more mature devices like Kindle e-readers and Fire tablets go longer between new versions. In fact, the last update to the Fire HD 10 line was back in 2019, so, understandably, Amazon was ready to reinvigorate its flagship tablet. Not only did it update the specs and colors on the Fire HD 10, but it also gave us a second version in the Fire HD 10 Plu
