Likewise when looking at the Python language performance via PyBench, Numenta, Numpy, Mlpack, and PyPerformance, the 5900X/5950X jumped ahead of the Core i9 10900K former lead.

Similarly for a broad look at the scientific computing possibilities with NEAT, MT-DGEMM, NAMD, GROMACS, Dolfyn, CloverLeaf, LAMMPS, MrBayes, MAFFT, and others, the Ryzen 9 5900 series see nice uplift as well.

For speech language processing with eSpeak-NG, DeepSpeech, and RNNoise, there is around a 16% generational uplift.

Texture compression with Basis and Arm's astcenc lead to even greater gains for AMD.
