Fragz' verdict
The Core i7-14700KF emerges as the stronger CPU in this head-to-head, posting an 8.5% higher component score than the Core Ultra 7 270K Plus. This lead is largely driven by its superior single-thread performance, hitting 0.9 Gop/s compared to 0.69 Gop/s, and a higher 14077855 draw calls per second, both crucial for setting the FPS ceiling in games. Additionally, the Core i7-14700KF shows stronger multi-threaded integer performance at 14.3 Gop/s and slightly better Supernova DX11 FPS at 117.4, indicating better handling of background tasks and game engine demands. While the Core Ultra 7 270K Plus boasts a higher peak clock of 5412 MHz and more L3 cache at 36 MB, these don't currently translate to a performance advantage. It's also important to note that the Core Ultra 7 270K Plus only has one verified run, making its current performance data a thin sample and subject to more uncertainty than the Core i7-14700KF's five runs.

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
