AMD Ryzen 7 4800H Cinebench R15 Score Surfaces; Faster than the Core i7-9700K, R5 3600X and R7 2700Xedit

The 4800H is considerably faster than both the Core i7-9700K and the Ryzen 5 3600. It’s a bit glaring to see the delta between the 3600 and 3600X. Looks like, in addition to the core count, the operating frequencies also have a notable impact on the final scores. So, yeah, Cinebench doesn’t inherently “favor” AMD CPUs. The game tested is League of legends. In this test, the Vega 7 is around ~20% slower than the NVIDIA MX250.
