Fragz' verdict
The Core i7-14700KF takes a commanding lead over the 11th Gen Core i7-11700 @ 2.50GHz, with a 67.1% higher CPU score. This performance gap is driven by a significant boost across the board: the Core i7-14700KF features substantially more cores and threads, higher peak clock speeds, and nearly double the L3 cache. It delivers almost twice the integer multi-thread Gop/s and a notable improvement in single-thread Gop/s, translating to a much higher frame rate in our Supernova DX11 test and significantly more draw calls per second. For gamers, this means a higher FPS ceiling and smoother performance, especially when managing background tasks or streaming. While the Core i7-14700KF is the clear choice for high-end gaming, the 11th Gen Core i7-11700 @ 2.50GHz, despite having only one verified run in our database and thus a thin sample, could still be a reasonable option for less demanding gaming if you're working with an existing setup or are on a tighter budget.

What the numbers mean
The CPU score is the processor's own performance — that is what we rank on. GAMING is the whole rig's score in the best PC we measured the processor in, and leans heavily on the graphics card. A strong processor in a weak PC gets a low GAMING score without being worse. We show both and never mix them.
All numbers come from our benchmark suite: four hand-built 3D scenes written directly against the graphics APIs in Rust, the same load on every PC. The methodology is open at https://whatfps.com/metodik
