We can better compare what are the technical differences between the two processors. The processor AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3960X has a larger number of cores, the maximum frequency of AMD Ryzen 9 5950X is greater, that the PDT of AMD Ryzen 9 5950X is lower. The AMD Ryzen 9 5950X was designed earlier.
Performances :
Performance comparison between the two processors, for this we consider the results generated on benchmark software such as Geekbench 4.
In single core, the difference is 26%. In multi-core, the difference in terms of gap is 33%.
Note: Commissions may be earned from the links above. These scores are only an
average of the performances got with these processors, you may get different results.
Cinebench R15 evaluates the performance of CPU calculations by restoring a photorealistic 3D scene. The scene has 2,000 objects, 300,000 polygons, uses sharp and fuzzy reflections, bright areas, shadows, procedural shaders, antialiasing, and so on. The faster the rendering of the scene is created, the more powerful the PC is, with a high number of points.
In single core, the difference is 22%. In multi-core, the difference in terms of gap is 30%.

average of the performances got with these processors, you may get different results.
Cinebench R20 is a multi-platform test software which allows to evaluate the hardware capacities of a device such as a computer, a tablet, a server. This version of Cinebench takes into account recent developments in processors with multiple cores and the latest improvements in rendering techniques. The evaluation is ultimately even more relevant.
In single core, the difference is 37%. In multi-core, the difference in terms of gap is 23%.

PassMark is a benchmarking software that performs several performance tests including prime numbers, integers, floating point, compression, physics, extended instructions, encoding, sorting. The higher the score is, the higher is the device capacity.
On Windows 64-bit:
In single core, the difference is 35%. In multi-core, the difference in terms of gap is 6%.
On Linux 64-bit:
In single core, the difference is 27%. In multi-core, the difference in terms of gap is 25%.

average of the performances got with these processors, you may get different results.
Geekbench 4 is a complete benchmark platform with several types of tests, including data compression, images, AES encryption, SQL encoding, HTML, PDF file rendering, matrix computation, Fast Fourier Transform, 3D object simulation, photo editing, memory testing. This allows us to better visualize the respective power of these devices. For each result, we took an average of 250 values on the famous benchmark software.
On Windows:
In single core, the difference is 31%. In multi-core, the difference in terms of gap is 20%.
On macOS:
In single core, the difference is 58%. In multi-core, the difference in terms of gap is 16%.

Geekbench 5 is a software for measuring the performance of a computer system, for fixed devices, mobile devices, servers. This platform makes it possible to better compare the power of the CPU, the computing power and to compare it with similar or totally different systems. Geekbench 5 includes new workloads that represent work tasks and applications that we can find in reality.
