Fragz' verdict
The Core i7-14700KF dominates this comparison, leading the Core i7-10700 by a substantial 99.2% in overall CPU score, securing a rank of 3 out of 57 compared to the Core i7-10700 at 31st. This performance gap is driven by superior single-thread performance, hitting 0.9 Gop/s compared to 0.49 Gop/s, which directly translates to higher FPS ceilings in games, alongside a massive jump in multi-threaded integer performance, reaching 14.3 Gop/s versus 5.5 Gop/s, crucial for streaming and background tasks. The Core i7-14700KF also processes significantly more draw calls per second at 14,077,855 compared to 6,902,462, and delivers 117.4 FPS in our Supernova DX11 test versus 57.6 FPS, backed by its higher core/thread count (20 cores, 28 threads vs 8 cores, 16 threads) and L3 cache. For gamers, the Core i7-14700KF offers a much more powerful and future-proof experience, handling demanding titles and multitasking with ease. While the Core i7-10700's data is from a single verified run, making the sample thin, it still provides adequate performance for less intensive gaming, though it's clearly outclassed by the newer chip.

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
