This value shows the performance of the processors in single-threaded and multi-threaded mode. In this comparison, Core i7-9800X is 1% better than Ryzen 5 2600X. The data source is several popular tests. More detailed information of the benchmarks is below.
Gaming performance
Summary result of all game benchmarks.| Core i7-9800X | 56% |
Ryzen 5 2600X | 53% |
For the maximum in this test, the results of the most powerful processor in the site database are taken. And of course, this is a server processor, on which no one will run games. Because this processor costs several tens of thousands of dollars. And if it seems to you that the selected CPU has a small game result, look at the FPS that it produces in real games in the final table below.
List of other games in which CPU comparisons were performed: Monster Hunter World, NBA 2K20, Battlefield V, Control, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Ghostrunner, DOTA 2A, Hitman 3, Metro Exodus, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG), Microsoft Flight Simulator, Forza Horizon 4, Half-Life: Alyx, League of Legends (LOL), Horizon Zero Dawn, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Resident Evil 7 Biohazard, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS GO).
Gaming benchmark| Fortnite | 99.2 | 94.6 | | Valorant | 112.7 | 107.5 | | Cyberpunk 2077 | 63.1 | 60.2 | | Apex Legends | 106.0 | 101.1 | | Call of Duty Warzone | 84.5 | 80.6 | | Overwatch | 91.3 | 87.1 | | Red Dead Redemption 2 | 77.8 | 74.2 | | DOOM Eternal | 56.4 | 53.8 | | Warzone | 87.9 | 83.9 | | Assassin's Creed | 94.7 | 90.3 | | Valheim | 93.6 | 89.3 |
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 participating in the comparing not only were the equipped with different video cards and different amounts of RAM. But users also tested them at different screen resolutions: 2K, 4K or FullHD. So the game benchmark data is approximate. But all video cards met the average system requirements of games. To be sure exactly how much performance the processor will be in games, if you get acquainted with the benchmarks that are made with the same video card that is installed in your computer.
Power consumption
| Core i7-9800X | 28% |
Ryzen 5 2600X | 39% |
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 5 2600X is more energy efficient than the Core i7-9800X since it has less power consumption: 165W vs. 95W. Power consumption is especially important for laptops. And TDP should be taken into account when choosing a processor cooling system. 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 benchmarksLet's say you plan to use the processor not only for gaming, but also for machine learning, video rendering or video editing, streaming, programming, then the main parameter for you is its performance in multi-threaded mode. In this mode, the CPU turns on all threads and cores that it has to the maximum to achieve maximum efficiency. You will learn this data from the benchmark tables below. Before using 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 use only one core to run, and all the advantages of multi-core mode are unused.

Comparison of specifications
In the specification comparison table, the most useful will be the the possibility of overclocking it and release date of the processor. The later the processor is released, the longer it will last you. 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, thereby increasing its performance, then it will continue to maintain maximum FPS even in the newest games. The economy are obvious! Accordingly, you do not need to buy a new CPU to enjoy the games any longer.
