Fragz' verdict
The Ryzen 9 5900HX with Radeon Graphics is the stronger CPU here, leading by 9.9% in overall score. This performance edge is clear in multi-threaded tasks, where the 5900HX achieved 5.5 Gop/s in the integer test compared to the 5600G's 4.7 Gop/s, and it also shows a slight advantage in single-thread performance at 0.54 Gop/s. With 8 cores and 16 threads, the 5900HX also pushes more draw calls per second and delivers 71.8 FPS in Supernova DX11. For gamers, this means better handling of background processes, faster loading, and a higher potential framerate ceiling in CPU-intensive scenarios. While the Ryzen 5 5600G, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, still offers solid performance and a higher peak clock of 4478 MHz, its sample size of just 2 verified runs is thin, introducing some uncertainty.

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
