Fragz' verdict
The Ryzen 7 9800X3D takes a commanding lead in this CPU showdown, outperforming the Ryzen 5 6600H with Radeon Graphics by an impressive 223.2% in overall CPU score. This significant difference is evident across the board, with the Ryzen 7 9800X3D hitting 0.86 Gop/s in single-thread performance compared to the Ryzen 5's 0.28 Gop/s, which directly impacts gaming frame rates. It also boasts considerably higher multi-threaded integer performance at 9.3 Gop/s versus 2.6 Gop/s, alongside a much higher peak clock of 5433 MHz, more cores, and a massive 96 MB of L3 cache, leading to 94 FPS in the Supernova DX11 test compared to 36.5 FPS. The Ryzen 5 6600H with Radeon Graphics, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, comes in at a much lower tier, and it's important to note that its data is based on only one verified run, making the results less conclusive. While the Ryzen 7 9800X3D is clearly the superior choice for high-performance gaming and demanding tasks, the Ryzen 5 could still suffice for lighter workloads or if you're working with an existing system where significant upgrades aren't an option.

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
