Though you can't dispute with the figures from this table, however, you need to know that in fact some processors and video cards will not be able to work with each other. In such cases, FPS is calculated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the AMD Ryzen 7 4700G and the GeForce RTX 3060 separately.
