While these numbers give somewhat of a picture to you for your system, they, on their own, don't really say much for others because when it comes down to percentages, they're different for every single user depending on their hardware.

For example:

  • with CPUs, 50% CPU of a 16-core chip is going to be eight cores, a 10-core chip is going to be five cores, and an 8-core chip is going to be four cores (this doesn't take into effect CPU generation, IPC, overclocks, etc.)
  • with RAM (or VRAM), if you have 64GB then 50% is 32GB, but if you only have 32GB, then 50% is 16GB
  • with GPUs, 50% overall usage of a GTX 1060 is going to be much when measured on a GTX 2080 Ti because the newer GPU is more powerful and can do more with less effort


In terms of measuring performance, having actual numbers along with hardware specifications is going to help people more accurately establish how their setup aligns with yours. However, in Rocknard's case, an AMD FX-9370 was released in July of 2013, so it's going to be incredibly difficult to compare your setup to theirs, unless you: A) have similar hardware (unlikely), or B) want to go back through the several generations of benchmarks/reviews trying to figure out how the two CPUs might compare today in terms of overall horsepower, because most (if not, all) review sites aren't going back 5+ years to see how those chips perform in today's workloads.
