Measured comparison

Fragz' verdict

The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is the undisputed champion here, leading the Core 7 150U by an incredible 395.5% in component score. This massive performance gap is clear across all CPU benchmarks, with the Ryzen delivering 9.3 Gop/s in multi-threaded integer operations compared to the Core's 1.6 Gop/s, and a single-thread performance of 0.86 Gop/s versus 0.16 Gop/s. For gamers, this means the Ryzen’s significantly higher draw calls per second (10.8 million vs 1.4 million) and a colossal 96 MB of L3 cache directly translate to vastly superior in-game framerates, as demonstrated by its 90.4 FPS in Supernova DX11 compared to the Core's 11.9 FPS. While the Core 7 150U's performance is based on only one verified run, making its numbers less certain, it is clear that for any serious gaming rig, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D is the overwhelmingly better choice.

What the numbers mean

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
