Cinebench R20

Blender Benchmark

ASRock’s B550 Phantom Gaming-ITX/AX motherboard delivers strong performance for our CPU focussed tests. The board is consistently at or near the top of our multi-threaded and single-threaded test charts.

The primary reason as to why ASRock scores so well is because its voltage levels and power draw are higher than competitors and its sensor readings driving the Precision Boost 2 algorithm are erroneous. This makes the Ryzen 9 3950X run at elevated frequencies compared to the other motherboards.
