3DMark CPU Profile It is a test designed for the processor. It mainly tests the physical operation and custom simulation of the CPU, and tests the performance of the processor at 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and the maximum thread. Different thread tests, because the number of threads used by different applications and games is different.

For example, the Max threads test can show the maximum performance of the CPU, but this does not mean that the game can also play the same performance, but only movie-level rendering, simulation or scientific analysis applications will use the performance of full threads; in the same way 16 threads also has a good performance for computing and digital content creation, and has little impact on games.

7950X Max threads can reach a score of 16292, which meets the needs of film-level rendering, simulation or scientific analysis applications, while the main game is 7779 points in 8 threads and 4221 points in 4 threads.
