AMD Ryzen 9 9950x CPU Review: Performance, Thermals & Power Analysis

Productivity and Microsoft Office

I use the PCMark10 benchmark suite to evaluate all CPUs under several productivity tasks. I also use the Applications Benchmark, which uses all Microsoft Office apps.

Web Browser Performance

The Google Octane 2.0 tests show the performance of the JavaScript engine. The Mozilla Kraken is similar to the Octane, measuring the execution time of the JavaScript code.

Something looks different here since the new Ryzen’s performance is way ahead in both benchmarks.

Data Compression

I use two popular compression apps, WinRar and 7-zip. Both have embedded benchmarks, and I also compress a large file folder with WinRar.
