Of the components selected for comparison, there were 186 benchmarks in common (matching test profile, test version and any configurable test options) and where that data was statistically significant and at least three independent data points for each component of the public test results on OpenBenchmarking.org.

AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3990X 64-Core had the most wins, coming in first place for 50% of the tests.

Based on the geometric mean of all complete results, the fastest (AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3990X 64-Core) was 2.089x the speed of the slowest (Intel Core i7-5960X). Intel Core i9-9900K was 0.687x the speed of AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3990X 64-Core and Intel Core i7-5960X was 0.697x the speed of Intel Core i9-9900K.

The results with the greatest spread from best to worst included: Stress-NG (Test: Vector Math) at 14.16x, ASKAP (Test: tConvolve MPI - Degridding) at 12.684x, Primesieve (1e12 Prime Number Generation) at 12.342x, toyBrot Fractal Generator (Implementation: C++ Threads) at 11.673x, toyBrot Fractal Generator (Implementation: TBB) at 11.666x, toyBrot Fractal Generator (Implementation: C++ Tasks) at 11.194x, toyBrot Fractal Generator (Implementation: OpenMP) at 11.167x, Stockfish (Total Time) at 9.481x, Stress-NG (Test: SENDFILE) at 9.263x, Tachyon (Total Time) at 8.998x.
