Measured comparison

Fragz' verdict

The Ryzen 9 9900X absolutely dominates this comparison, leading the Core 7 150U by a staggering 386.9% in overall CPU score. This massive difference is evident across the board, with the Ryzen 9 9900X achieving 9.4 Gop/s in multi-threaded integer performance and 0.89 Gop/s single-thread, far surpassing the Core 7 150U's 1.6 Gop/s and 0.16 Gop/s respectively. Gamers will see this translate to vastly higher frame rates, like 126.6 FPS in Supernova DX11 compared to just 11.9 FPS, alongside significantly more draw calls per second. With 12 cores, 24 threads, and 64 MB of L3 cache, the Ryzen 9 9900X is clearly built for high-end performance, although the Core 7 150U's single verified run means its reported numbers have some uncertainty. For any serious gaming rig, the Ryzen 9 9900X is the definitive choice here.

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
