I ran CrystalMark Retro on an ASUS ROG Strix G713QR (Ryzen 9 5900HX, 8c/16t, Zen 3) to see how this 2021-era CPU holds up in 2025.
Specs:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX (Zen 3, 8c/16t)
GPU: Integrated Radeon Graphics (RTX disabled)
RAM: 32 GB
OS: Windows 10 Home
Results:
Multi-Core: 83,684
Single-Core: 9,847
Storage (Sequential): 8,677 read / 8,305 write
2D Graphics: ~9–10K
3D Graphics (iGPU): Wireframe 4,239 / Polygon 2,847
The CPU still delivers strong multi-core performance, and NVMe speeds are respectable. 3D performance is limited on the iGPU, as expected, but I’ll be re-running with the RTX GPU enabled for comparison.
Curious - does anyone else still benchmark their older hardware with tools like this?
