Notes

We're comparing the two baby Ryzens against Intel Core i3-9100F and Core i5-9400F. The Core i5-9600K is also included for reference, even though it is a much more expensive processor.

Everything has been tested afresh for this comparison across a range of benchmarks designed to test each facet of the processor's attributes.
