Price: prices can change over time. For technical reasons, they are not updated in real time. This is only an
average of the results on the first page of each product, whether new or used. Shipping costs have not been
integrated. To know the final price of the product, please go to the form of the shop. If no price is indicated, it
means that we did not find any offers during the last update.

We can better compare what are the technical differences between the two processors. The processor AMD
Ryzen 9 3900X has more cores, the turbo frequency of Intel Core i7-10700K is bigger, that the PDT of AMD
Ryzen 9 3900X is lower. The Intel Core i7-10700K was started more recently.

Ratios: we first consider the average for the new price if available, the average for the used price otherwise.
Performance / global cost ratio: This is the ratio of performance on Geekbench 4, divided by the cost of the
product + the cost of electricity over 5 years for a duration of use of 13 hours per day.

Performances :

Performance comparison between the two processors, for this we consider the results generated on benchmark
software such as Geekbench 4.

Cinebench R15 - Multi-thread & single thread score

3,160
AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 205

2,030
Intel Core i7-10700K 220

In single core, the difference is -7%. In multi-core, the differential gap is 56%.

Cinebench R15 evaluates the performance of CPU calculations by restoring a photorealistic 3D scene. The scene
has 2,000 objects, 300,000 polygons, uses sharp and fuzzy reflections, bright areas, shadows, procedural
shaders, antialiasing, and so on. The faster the rendering of the scene is created, the more powerful the PC is,
with a high number of points.

Cinebench R20 - Multi-thread & single thread score

9,170
AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 520

4,970
Intel Core i7-10700K 520

In a single core, there is no noticeable difference. In multi-core, the differential gap is 85%.

Cinebench R20 is a multi-platform test software which allows to evaluate the hardware capacities of a device such
as a computer, a tablet, a server. This version of Cinebench takes into account recent developments in
processors with multiple cores and the latest improvements in rendering techniques. The evaluation is ultimately
even more relevant.

PassMark - CPU Mark & single thread

32,890
AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 2,730

19,800
Intel Core i7-10700K 3,080

In single core, the difference is -11%. In multi-core, the differential gap is 66%.

PassMark is a benchmarking software that performs several performance tests including prime numbers, integers,
floating point, compression, physics, extended instructions, encoding, sorting. The higher the score is, the higher
is the device capacity.

Geekbench 4 is a complete benchmark platform with several types of tests, including data compression, images,
AES encryption, SQL encoding, HTML, PDF file rendering, matrix computation, Fast Fourier Transform, 3D object
simulation, photo editing, memory testing. This allows us to better visualize the respective power of these devices.
For each result, we took an average of 250 values on the famous benchmark software.

Geekbench 5 is a software for measuring the performance of a computer system, for fixed devices, mobile
devices, servers. This platform makes it possible to better compare the power of the CPU, the computing power
and to compare it with similar or totally different systems. Geekbench 5 includes new workloads that represent
work tasks and applications that we can find in reality.
