Of the components selected for comparison, there were 18 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 1950X 16-Core had the most wins, coming in first place for 72% of the tests.

Based on the geometric mean of all complete results, the fastest (AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X 16-Core) was 1.314x the speed of the slowest (POWER9 44-Core).

The results with the greatest spread from best to worst included: OpenSSL (RSA 4096-bit Performance) at 2.325x, CacheBench (Test: Read) at 1.697x, Smallpt (Global Illumination Renderer; 128 Samples) at 1.664x, Bullet Physics Engine (Test: 1000 Stack) at 1.645x, BYTE Unix Benchmark (Computational Test: Dhrystone 2) at 1.438x, Himeno Benchmark (Poisson Pressure Solver) at -1x, AOBench (Size: 2048 x 2048 - Total Time) at -1x, Gzip Compression (Linux Source Tree Archiving To .tar.gz) at -1x, FLAC Audio Encoding (WAV To FLAC) at -1x, Stockfish (Total Time) at -1x.
