Measuring the 7zip for both compression and decompression. Relatively speaking Intel is worse for decompression (48644 vs. 71980) than compression (63103 vs. 77088). Also interesting that none tests of different compression tools use the same metrics and workload so not easy to compare between tools.

AMD metrics show the frontend time is higher than average. This is an integer code with little floating point.
