HEXUS Bang4Buck and Bang4Watt
The performance benchmarks on the previous pages tell part of the story, but it is always fun to add some Bang4Buck metrics into the mix. Do be aware that there are many methods of calculating such results - different benchmarks will skew the outcome, and prices can both fluctuate daily and vary wildly depending on region.
We've chosen to use the multi-threaded Cinebench R20 test as a basis for our results, and pricing was taken from Newegg.com, or SRP pricing, as on May 6, 2020.
These scores simply divide the Cinebench R20 score by the dollar price or SRP. When you're charging barely $100 for processors that hit over 2,000 marks in the multi-threaded test it's no wonder they top the charts.
This graph divides the same Cinebench result with the system-wide power consumption we observe during evaluation.
As decent as they are, competition against higher-core models is understandably stiff. It's sobering that, ignoring price, the Ryzen 9 3950X fits in 4x the compute capability into a solution that, as a system, pulls less than double the watts.
Of more importance is how the Ryzen 3s compare against price-equivalent Core processors. To that end, they put up a solid showing.
This metric takes 23.82 as the ceiling for Bang4Buck, and 46.71 for Bang4Watt, and combines them into a weighted score where a maximum of 2 is possible.
Decent performance all around, wouldn't you say?
