According to Geekbench a 9900K also beats a Ryzen 3700X in Clang. However when those two CPUs actually face head to head in an actual compilation benchmark (such as compiling LLVM), the 3700X easily & consistently beats the 9900K: https://openbenchmarking.org/embed.php?i=1907064-HV-CPUBENCHM63&sha=95c11ae&p=2 https://openbenchmarking.org/embed.php?i=1907064-HV-CPUBENCH... Or from another source, this time compiling Chromium (which also uses Clang): https://www.gamersnexus.net/images/media/2020/cpu-methods/1_cpu-methods_chromium-compile-benchmark.png https://www.gamersnexus.net/images/media/2020/cpu-methods/1_... And these are both 8-core / 16-thread CPUs, no multi-thread brute force shenanigans. And the 3700X is even the lower TDP & lower measured power consumption part, so no sketchy turbo games either. So don't put too much faith in Geekbench numbers. They seem to have a very weak relationship to reality.
