Benchmarks

Per-game FPS, creator & compute scores, power and thermals, and test methodology

🔬 Tested on the same bench — Ryzen 7 9800X3D, 32GB DDR5-6000 CL30, Windows 11 24H2 — so differences reflect CPU performance in the normalized dataset.
★ marks the fastest CPU per game. All results use the common normalized 1080p suite.

Data last updated: August 2026. FPS values use the common 10-game CPU dataset; normalized estimates are identified in the source workbook.

Cinebench, Geekbench, Blender, 7-Zip, HandBrake, power-draw and thermal results. ★ marks the winner. On power and temperature, lower is better.

Data last updated: August 2026. Creator/compute fields reflect normalized CPU render and compute throughput; power and thermals are measured under load.

Simple bar comparison — average gaming FPS and a combined creator/compute index at a glance.

Creator/compute index = normalized composite of Cinebench, Geekbench, Blender, 7-Zip and HandBrake results.

CPU results are standardized across the same database methodology to provide a fair comparison.

A flagship CPU (Ryzen 7 9800X3D) eliminates the processor as a bottleneck, so frame-rate differences reflect the selected CPU dataset. Gaming results use the same 10-game 1080p suite / Smart Access Memory enabled. Each card is re-seated and the test rerun three times, with the median reported.

About Our CPU Comparison Tool How our CPU comparisons work

At Tech4Gamers, we designed this CPU comparison experience to make processor research easier for gaming, productivity and PC building. We bring together gaming performance, creator benchmarks, temperatures, power consumption, core specifications and normalized performance indicators so you can compare processors without piecing the information together manually. Where platform requirements differ, the tool can also show the relevant test-bench context for each CPU. Our goal is to keep the comparison consistent, readable and useful whether you are choosing a new processor, planning an upgrade or deciding between two CPUs from different generations.
