7-Zip Compressing

7-Zip compression is 32% faster on the Ryzen 5 5600X versus the Core i5-10600K. Zen 3 yet again scores very well in this test, thus allowing the six core 5600X to roughly match Zen 2 and Comet Lake 8-core parts.

7-Zip Decompressing

Decompression is where the Zen architecture comes into its own, as proven by the whopping 45% performance lead for the 5600X versus the 10600K.
