[SOLVED] CPU-Z benchmark result

Just trying to get my head around 'bench' results. So on average, does this mean the 3600x has a better single core performance than the 3900x,3800x,3700x?

You will note they list a 3600x in the example scores and it's quite a bit lower than yours, however all results are within 10% of each other....

The thing is, benchmark scores can be changed due to many factors - for example you can get a nice boost on Ryzen chips if you manually tune your memory timings. If your cpu is running overclocked (or even with PBO turned on) that can also boost the score vs the example results which were probably done at stock.

It may even be that the cooling solution you are...

It may even be that the cooling solution you are using is better than the example cpu's - stronger cooling on Ryzen cpu's allows them to boost a little higher, or it might be that you are using a different motherboard which is helping boost the scores a bit.

The TL, DR is that benchmarks show the performance of the whole system, not just one component - so you would need to know the full specs of the example test systems in order to compare. I would say your result shows you are getting really good performance compared to similar machines so looks like you've got a really good setup there. I would say that if you dropped a 3800X or 3900X into your machine those cpu's would also score higher than their example scores. On paper I believe the 3900X has the highest rated single core frequency, so when all things are equal it should be the fastest in single thread.

Thanks for explaining, really helpful!
