Fragz' verdict
The Ryzen 7 260 w Radeon 780M Graphics takes a narrow lead with a 1.9% higher CPU score over the Ryzen 7 5800XT, though both processors have a thin sample size of only two verified runs. This winner shows stronger single-thread performance at 0.65 Gop/s compared to 0.59 Gop/s, alongside significantly more draw calls per second (10.1 million versus 7.37 million). These factors translate to a noticeable difference in the Supernova DX11 scene, where it achieves 84.2 FPS against the Ryzen 7 5800XT's 61.5 FPS. While the Ryzen 7 5800XT offers a larger L3 cache at 32 MB and a slightly higher peak clock, the measured gaming-relevant metrics clearly favor the Ryzen 7 260 w Radeon 780M Graphics for overall CPU performance. Gamers looking for an edge in CPU-bound titles, especially those relying on single-thread speed, will find the Ryzen 7 260 w Radeon 780M Graphics more appealing, but keep the limited data in mind.

What the numbers mean
The headline score is the part's best measured run, and the measurements under it come from that same run. It shows what the part has been proven to do — not what an average rig gets out of it. The CPU score is the processor's own performance — that is what we rank on. GAMING is the whole rig's score in the best PC we measured the processor in, and leans heavily on the graphics card. A strong processor in a weak PC gets a low GAMING score without being worse. We show both and never mix them.
All numbers come from our benchmark suite: four hand-built 3D scenes written directly against the graphics APIs in Rust, the same load on every PC. The methodology is open at https://whatfps.com/metodik
