3DMark
Diving into our 3DMark scores, here we have compared the Ultra 9 RTX Super with the PCSpecialist Ignite X1 which uses the same Ryzen 9 3900 CPU, but with an AMD RX 5700 XT graphics card. Despite this, the Fire Strike and Fire Strike Ultra tests do seem to favour AMD hardware in the graphics department, as the scores are marginally higher for the PCSpecialist system. However, there is much more of a noticeable difference in Time Spy, where the Cyberpower's overall score is 15% higher than the PCSpecialist.
Cinebench
In terms of Cinebench scores, we can also observe a small difference between the two systems, with the Cyberpower producing multi-core scores which are 4 and 5% slower than the PCSpecialist system, for Cinebench R15 and R20, respectively. This isn't a huge difference by any means, but it is something.
Unfortunately we no longer have the PCSpecialist in the office to do further testing, but it would seem the 3900 in the Cyberpower was just operating at slightly slower clock speeds compared to its rival. Based on my observations over multiple runs, the 3900 starts out at 4.35GHz across all cores but only stays there for a split second, before dropping down to 3.5GHz across all cores.
In any case, even this 65W 12-core part is posting significantly higher scores than the 8-core 3800X used in the Box Cube Dragon Army One (+31% in Cinebench R20) so there is still a very clear benefit to upping the core-count in multi-threaded applications.
