Gaming performance
CPU-bound gaming score: a 1080p rating normalized so the fastest gaming CPU we track = 100. Productivity scores are in the Benchmarks section below.
Gaming scores are normalised performance indexes derived from Tom’s Hardware’s published CPU gaming benchmarks. Performance per dollar is our own calculation on top of that data.
1080p Gaming
The Ryzen 7 3700X scores 41.5 on our 0–100 CPU gaming scale, tested at 1080p where the processor, not the graphics card, sets the frame rate. At 1440p and 4K the gap between CPUs shrinks as the GPU takes over.
