VERDICT
Recommended Ryzen™ 9 3900X
A 1% gap is a lean, not a verdict—Ryzen™ 9 3900X leads by a nose. Narrow the lens to Gaming Index before you argue with G-SCORE alone. The largest practical gaps show up in Gaming Index, +30%, Value Index, leading ~22%—if that is your week, Ryzen™ 9 3900X pays off. Platform planning: match cooling and board tier to up to 4.6 GHz, 64 MB L3 cache, 12 / 24. Bottom line: treat “Recommended” as sort order—your main app index is still the judge.
