HOW THIS IS CALCULATED

The per-game frame rates are the ceiling each processor sustains on its own, with no graphics card limiting it. That is the only honest way to compare two CPUs: fixing a specific card would turn the comparison into a review of that card.

Native resolution, no upscaling and no frame generation. Measured model error · Methodology
