Zen 5 was approaching the Intel Raptor Lake Refresh processors in their Apache HTTPD web server performance.

OpenSSL benchmark with settings of Algorithm: RSA4096. Ryzen 9 7950X was the fastest.
OpenSSL benchmark with settings of Algorithm: AES-256-GCM. Ryzen 9 7950X was the fastest.
OpenSSL benchmark with settings of Algorithm: ChaCha20. Ryzen 9 7950X was the fastest.
OpenSSL benchmark with settings of Algorithm: ChaCha20-Poly1305. Ryzen 9 7950X was the fastest.

Great OpenSSL performance out of these new Zen 5 processors.
