Processor comparisons 19-02-2022
For example you can't decide which processor to buy, you can make a decision by looking at the Intel Core i7-6850K vs AMD Ryzen 3 3300X tests and decide which is better for games or normal use for machine learning, rendering, programming, streaming, video editing. Here you can find all information from real video editing and streaming tests or several benchmarks. A careful review of all the specifications, to make it easier to read, is made by the table.
From the video comparison, you can get the results of joint testing in software tests such as Blender, Dolphin Emulator, Handbrake, GeekBench 6, 5.2, RealBench, Gears 5, Prime95, Furmark, WPrime, 7zip, Blender, AIDA64, PassMark, PCMark 10, UserBenchmark, MATLAB, 3DMark, World of Tanks enCore Benchmark, VeraCrypt, SuperPi, Cinebench 23 (20, 15), DaVinci Resolve Studio.

The maximum result in this parameter is 100 percent, which is the performance of the most powerful processor at the moment. And of course, this is a server processor, on which no one will play games. Because this processor costs several tens of thousands of dollars. Therefore, if you think that the selected CPU has a small game result, just look at the FPS that it produces in real games in the summary table below.
List of other games in which CPU comparisons were performed: Horizon Zero Dawn, Monster Hunter World, Forza Horizon 4, DOTA 2A, Battlefield V, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS GO), Resident Evil 7 Biohazard, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, NBA 2K20, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG), Half-Life: Alyx, Metro Exodus, Hitman 3, Ghostrunner, Microsoft Flight Simulator, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Control, League of Legends (LOL).
Gaming benchmark| Fortnite | 95.3 | 93.8 | | Valorant | 108.2 | 106.6 | | Cyberpunk 2077 | 60.6 | 59.7 | | Apex Legends | 101.7 | 100.2 | | Call of Duty Warzone | 81.2 | 79.9 | | Overwatch | 87.7 | 86.3 | | Red Dead Redemption 2 | 74.7 | 73.5 | | DOOM Eternal | 54.1 | 53.3 | | Warzone | 84.4 | 83.1 | | Assassin's Creed | 90.9 | 89.5 | | Valheim | 89.8 | 88.4 |
The numbers in this table indicate the maximum FPS that was received on the device with the corresponding processor. Depending on the configuration of the computer (RAM size and Video Card) and graphics quality settings (Ultra, Medium, Normal), the results may differ quite significantly. We recommend that you better study the results of the Cinebench, GeekBench and Passmark becnmarks.
The computers that were in the comparisons not only did they have different amounts of RAM and different video cards. But users also tested them at different screen resolutions: 2K, FullHD or 4K. Therefore, the game benchmark data is approximate. But all video cards met the average system requirements of games. You will get more accurate information about how powerful the processor will be in games, if you compare it in one assembly with the video card that is installed in your computer.
Power consumption
| Core i7-6850K | 28% |
Ryzen 3 3300X | 70% |
To make a finishing choice on which processor is better, you should also consider the generation of its core. The newer the processor generation, the better its performance in games and benchmarks, as well as its energy efficiency. In this case the Ryzen 3 3300X is more energy efficient than the Core i7-6850K as it consumes less power: 140W vs. 65W. Power consumption is especially important for laptops. Also, when choosing a processor cooling system, you must know its TDP. It is necessary to calculate so that the TDP data specified in the cooler specification is greater than the TDP of the compared processor.
Software benchmarksFor example you plan to use the processor not only for gaming, but also for video editing or video rendering, machine learning, programming, streaming, then the main parameter for you is its performance in multi-threaded mode. In this mode, the CPU turns on all cores and threads that it has to the maximum to achieve maximum efficiency. You will learn this data from the benchmark tables below. Before you take into account the data from these tests, be sure to make sure that the program that you are going to use on your computer can work in multi-threaded mode. Since there are still many programs that can use only one core to work, and all the benefit of multi-core mode are unused.

Comparison of specifications
In the specification comparison table, the processor release date and overclocking capability will be the most useful. The later the processor is released, the longer it will last in your computer. And the easier it will be to upgrade the system in the future. The same can be said about overclocking. When the processor can be overclocked, increasing its performance, then it will still be able to produce maximum FPS even in the newest games. It turns out that there is no longer a need to buy a new CPU to enjoy the games any longer. The economy are obvious!

Another difference is that Core i7-6850K has 2 more core than Ryzen 3 3300X. Also keep in mind that high CPU frequency affects battery life through power consumption (relevant for laptops).
Result:
The number of parameters for which Intel Core i7-6850K is better: 19
The number of parameters for which AMD Ryzen 3 3300X is better: 17
However, it should be realized that all the figures that you have looked at here do not mean that you should be guided entirely by them and trust a simple quantitative comparison. Better to watch the video tests and read the reviews of of people who bought Intel Core i7-6850K and AMD Ryzen 3 3300X before making a decision which of the processors to buy for gaming.
