Background information about the processors being compared, series, generation and market segment.
Core counts, threads, cache and clock modes describe the CPU configuration. Performance depends on the workload and comparable measured results.
Internal Graphics does not affect the performance of the CPU, performs the work of the graphics card in its absence or on mobile devices.
Built-in codecs used to encode and decode content. Significantly speeds up the required operations.
Types, channel quantity of RAM supported by AMD Ryzen 9 3900X and AMD Ryzen 5 7600. Depending on the motherboards, higher or lower memory frequencies may be supported.
Compare the TDP requirements of TDP AMD Ryzen 5 7600 and AMD Ryzen 9 3900X Power specifications describe different manufacturer limits. TDP, base power and maximum turbo power are separate values; they do not establish measured system consumption.

¹ Difference of the second result relative to the first in that row. No percentage is calculated for different upscaling algorithms. This compares published results, not a universal performance index.
These results have no shared test of both models with the same version and settings. They are shown separately without a percentage difference.
Results were obtained on the reported systems. Test versions and settings remain separate; incomplete conditions do not support calculated model performance differences.
