General Explanation of Benchmark Percentages

When you see two FPS numbers, there are two common but different ways to show the difference:

"X% of the performance"

This compares the slower card to the faster card.

Formula: (Core 5 245K FPS ÷ Ryzen 7 5800X3D FPS) × 100
Example: (180.2 ÷ 194) × 100 = 93%
"X% faster"

This shows how much more the faster card performs compared to the slower one.

Formula: ((Ryzen 7 5800X3D FPS - Core 5 245K FPS) ÷ Core 5 245K FPS) × 100
Example: ((194 - 180.2) ÷ 180.2) × 100 = 8%
Why Someone Might Get Confused:

You naturally think: "If Core 5 245K is only 93% as fast, then Ryzen 7 5800X3D should be 7% faster" — but that's incorrect.

The "8% faster" is measured against the slower card, not against the faster one. So both numbers (93% of and 8% faster) are mathematically correct at the same time.
