AMD Ryzen 9 9950X vs. Ryzen 9 7950X/7950X3D For Workstation Graphics


While Windows gamers seem mixed over the AMD Ryzen 9000 series processors, for creator, scientific / HPC, code development, and many other technical computing areas I remain very impressed by the Ryzen 9000 (Zen 5) series desktop processors more than one month into constant testing with these Granite Ridge chips.

One of the areas I hadn't explored until now but made me curious given the mixed messaging around gaming was how well workstation graphics workloads were performing with the new processors. The workstation graphics performance was one of the few areas I hadn't explored much yet with the AMD Ryzen 9000 series processors simply for lack of time until now and having so many other CPU/system workloads to focus on. I've been benchmarking ParaView for years and is a wonderful open-source application and used across many different fields from engineering and CFD to visualizing sensor data to medical and material sciences.
