AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1900X

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1900X is an 8-core, 16-thread desktop processor in the 1000 series, built on the Zen architecture with a 14 nm process. It runs at 3.80 GHz base and 4.00 GHz boost, carries 32 MB of L3 cache, and uses AMD Socket SP3r2. Its average benchmark score is 3995, which places it at the 60th percentile of all CPUs in the database.

Benchmark Performance

The benchmark data for the Ryzen Threadripper 1900X shows a clear split between multicore and single-core results. In Cinebench R15, the multicore score is 1440 and the single-core score is 203. In Cinebench R20, the multicore score is 6000 and the single-core score is 846. In Cinebench R23, the multicore score is 14286 and the single-core score is 2016. Geekbench reports a multicore score of 5980 and a single-core score of 1186. These scores place the chip at the 60th percentile, meaning the aggregate result sits comfortably in the upper-middle range of the database.

The nearest-rival cluster explains that positioning well. The Intel Core i9-13900TE has an average score of 3998, with a listed delta of -0.1%. The Intel Xeon E5-2698B v3 averages 4004, with a delta of -0.2%. The Intel Xeon E-2336 averages 3985, with a delta of 0.2%. The Intel Xeon D-2733NT averages 3984, with a delta of 0.3%. The 1900X’s 3995 average therefore sits almost exactly inside that range. It trails the top of the cluster by two points in one rival comparison and leads the bottom of the cluster by eleven points in another, but the percentage gaps are all tiny. This is a part that trades blows with its closest neighbors rather than dominating them.

The Cinebench scores also reveal the shape of the performance under different benchmark generations. The R15 multicore score of 1440, R20 multicore score of 6000, and R23 multicore score of 14286 are all headline numbers when placed next to their single-core counterparts of 203, 846, and 2016. Geekbench displays the same pattern: the multicore figure of 5980 is much larger than the single-core figure of 1186. Across every listed test, the multicore result carries the part’s average, while the single-core results serve as the lighter-thread counterweight.

Who Should Consider It

The Ryzen Threadripper 1900X is best matched to workloads that can use all 16 threads. The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 14286 and Geekbench multicore score of 5980 are the strongest data points in the pack, and they indicate a processor with substantial parallel throughput for creation-oriented tasks. The 8-core, 16-thread layout, combined with 32 MB of L3 cache, gives multi-threaded rendering and processing workloads a wide execution resource. Users whose work scales with core count are the natural audience for this chip.

For lightly threaded office-style applications, the single-core scores are the relevant reference. Cinebench R23 single-core 2016, R20 single-core 846, R15 single-core 203, and Geekbench single-core 1186 define the per-core performance ceiling. These are not the type of numbers that will transform single-thread-limited workflows, but they are consistent with a desktop processor that is more about parallel throughput than raw per-core dominance.

The data does not include a dedicated gaming benchmark, so gaming conclusions can only be inferred from the available scores. Single-thread performance is the closest signal for lightly threaded game code, while the 16-thread capacity remains available for workloads that spread across cores. The market segment is Desktop, and the production status is Active, so this is a currently listed desktop part rather than a discontinued entry. No integrated graphics are listed, which means a separate graphics solution is implied for any visual workload.

Platform and Compatibility

The platform anchor is AMD Socket SP3r2. Memory support is DDR4, delivered through a quad-channel bus with a listed memory bandwidth of 85.3 GB/s. ECC memory is not supported. Expansion is PCIe Gen 3 with 60 lanes supplied by the CPU only. The multiplier is unlocked, which makes the chip open to overclocking within the limits of the platform.

The physical package is described by the 14 nm process, the GlobalFoundries foundry, 9,600 million transistors, and two 213 mm² dies. The cache hierarchy is 96 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 32 MB of L3. The architecture is listed as Zen, and the generation is identified as Ryzen Threadripper (Zen (Whitehaven)). This is a 1000-series part with an August 30, 2017 release date, and its launch MSRP is $549.

The socket and generation are the only upgrade-related details in the record. The production status is Active, so the part remains listed, but the data does not include other SP3r2 processors or a broader platform roadmap. The documented compatibility surface is therefore the socket, the DDR4 quad-channel memory controller, and the 60 PCIe Gen 3 lanes.

How It Compares

The Intel Core i9-13900TE is the closest rival by average score, with an average of 3998. The Threadripper 1900X sits 0.1% behind that mark according to the listed delta, leaving the two processors at near parity.

The Intel Xeon E5-2698B v3 leads the nearest-rival group with an average score of 4004. The 1900X trails by 0.2%, the largest negative delta in the cluster, but the absolute gap remains minimal.

The Intel Xeon E-2336 has an average score of 3985. The 1900X is 0.2% ahead in this comparison, putting the Threadripper on the positive side of the delta while staying inside the same tight performance band.

The Intel Xeon D-2733NT has an average score of 3984. The 1900X is 0.3% ahead here, the largest positive delta among all four nearest rivals, though still a slim margin in aggregate terms.

Single-Thread vs Multi-Thread Behavior

The single-thread and multi-thread scores tell a consistent story. In Cinebench R15, the single-core result is 203 and the multicore result is 1440. In R20, the single-core result is 846 and the multicore result is 6000. In R23, the single-core result is 2016 and the multicore result is 14286. Geekbench follows suit with a single-core score of 1186 and a multicore score of 5980.

The gap between single-core and multicore results is the expected shape for an 8-core, 16-thread processor. Lightly threaded workloads are limited to the one-core numbers, which are more modest. Workloads that can distribute work across threads can draw on the chip’s full 16-thread execution width, which is where the larger scores come from. The data does not show a case where the multicore strength disappears into the single-core performance; instead, the single-core scores function as the other side of the same design.

Power and Thermals

The Ryzen Threadripper 1900X carries a 180 W TDP. That is the only power classification listed in the data. The 14 nm process and the two 213 mm² dies provide the physical context for that envelope, but the record does not specify any cooler size, cooler type, or thermal solution. A platform using this processor would need to account for a 180 W TDP class when selecting cooling. The absence of an integrated graphics field means no on-chip graphics contribution is listed for the thermal or power picture.
