This processor carries the same 6-core/12-thread configuration, Zen 5 architecture, 32 MB cache L3, and 65W TDP. However, the basic/boost hours are 3.8/5.2 GHz, which is lower than 3.9/5.4 GHz Ryzen 5 9600X.

We have just seen both of them compared to Geekbench, which shows that the launch is very close.
