7-Zip Compressing

Here, the eight-core Zen 3 chip beats the 10850K by 3% and the 10700K by 22%. The 12-core Ryzens yet again prove tough competitors, though, especially with the £510 Ryzen 9 5900X offering 30% faster performance.

7-Zip Decompressing

The Ryzen 7 5800X is 4% quicker than the Core i9-10850K and 33% better than the 10700K. The trend continues whereby the 12-core Ryzens are notably faster than the 5800X and the Ryzen 9 5900X’s 48% performance uplift looks to be excellent value for the £90 higher price.
