AMD Ryzen 7000 6-core processor with 4.4 GHz clock speed with Gigabyte X670E motherboard spotted
A Ryzen 7000 CPU engineering sample turns up in the BaseMark database for the first time. The data miner @TUM APISAK found the result that had an AMD processor with the OPN code "100-000000593-20 Y, a 6-core SKU and that it was tested with a Gigabyte X670 AORUS Master motherboard.
Since this motherboard only works with the next-gen AM5 socket, this CPU is presumably an AMD Ryzen 7000, as videocardz noticed. A workstation RTX A4000 GPU based on the NVIDIA GA104 architecture was used to test this CPU. Such leaked tests aren't as common as they used to be, but @harukaze5719 didn't have to do much work to find a pretty similar test for the Zen3-based Ryzen 9 5950X SKU. Even though it seems to run at 4.4 GHz in engineering mode, the supposed Ryzen 7 7600X CPU is ~10% faster. The AMD Ryzen 7000 series processors will be released later this year.

ES sample usualy runs slower than retail chip i expect another 10% increase over zen3.

Where are you getting 5% from? 4.4Ghz to 5.5Ghz is a 25% increase in instructions executed.

yeah but what I'm talking about is the % increase in performance which almost certainly does not equate to a 1 to 1 per clock. so if a Zen 4 chip is 10% better than the best Zen 3 chip at 4.9 maybe 5.0 as the 5950x usually hits no problem we can expect maybe 5-10% more with a Zen 4 chip running at 5.5.
of course we'd expect retail to be better i'm just worried about the gains on clock speed when we take into account the architecture is generally worked out as it's just a port of Zen 3.

So long as you're doing a CPU-intensive workload and don't have any other bottlenecks, there is a 1:1 increase. Seeing as this is a 6-core on DDR5, RAM is unlikely to be a bottleneck. I know nothing about Basemark so perhaps the CPU might not be fully utilized (where an increase in clock speed wouldn't help).
However, 5.5GHz isn't sustainable, so, there could still potentially only be a 5% increase overall if it doesn't boost to 5.5 for very long.
Perhaps you were confusing CPU frequency with one of the following:
Power consumption doesn't change 1:1 with frequency
Increasing RAM frequency doesn't cause a 1:1 improvement, at least not until it meets the bandwidth demands of the CPU
Additional cores doesn't yield a 1:1 improvement in most scenarios

I wonder what the gains would be if it reaches the rumored 5.5ghz on a live sample my guess is another 5% which won't really put Zen 4 in all that great of a spot to win over Raptor Lake.
