I like Anandtech. They have some really great deep dive articles on CPUs and system architecture. Which is why this type of 'test' is just weird. None of the CPUs they compare seem to be in the same price bracket. Many aren't even from the same generation. 7700K? 8086K? 4900HS? Yes, sometimes you have to work with what you have, but c'mon - at least one somewhat comparable CPU would've been nice for reference (i3 8100 or i5 9400F).

They are comparing it against previous gen gaming CPUs to help people trying to decide if it is worth upgrading.

  Fair enough. But I would imagine the vast majority of those folks will be looking at $300-$700 CPUs in that case - going from a top-of-the-line CPU to a low/mid-grade seems like an unusual choice.

  Additionally, AMD hyped beating i7s of yore.

its usually faster than the i5 9400F

  I would expect so, but that's what benchmarks are for!

GN has a very thorough review of each of the 3100 and the 3300X. Note, the 3100 review is also positioned against a 7700K. The comparison charts are well-populated, though still have some gaps, as GN just updated their processor testing methodology, so some benchmarks are incomplete. 3100: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4nQpXVTh0g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4nQpXVTh0g 3300X: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NM2fFpzPKPg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NM2fFpzPKPg
