OpenFOAM benchmark with settings of Input: drivaerFastback, Small Mesh Size, Execution Time. Ryzen 9 7950X3D was the fastest.

For some workloads like the OpenFOAM CFD, the AMD 3D V-Cache parts maintain an upper-hand and will be interesting to see how the Ryzen 9000 series X3D parts perform in the months ahead.

OpenRadioss benchmark with settings of Model: Bird Strike on Windshield. Ryzen 9 9950X was the fastest.
OpenRadioss benchmark with settings of Model: Rubber O-Ring Seal Installation. Ryzen 9 9950X was the fastest.
OpenRadioss benchmark with settings of Model: Bumper Beam. Ryzen 9 9950X was the fastest.

For those running HPC workloads on their desktop either during development/testing or working from budget hardware, the Ryzen 9 9900 series performance was great in workloads like Altair's OpenRadioss.

GPAW benchmark with settings of Input: Carbon Nanotube. Ryzen 9 9950X was the fastest.
NAS Parallel Benchmarks benchmark with settings of Test / Class: BT.C. Ryzen 9 9950X was the fastest.
