Fragz' verdict
The Core i7-14700KF is the clear winner in this comparison, leading the Core Ultra X7 358H by a significant 38.5% in overall CPU score. This performance gap is evident across critical gaming metrics, with the Core i7-14700KF delivering a higher single-thread performance at 0.9 Gop/s compared to the Ultra X7's 0.78 Gop/s, directly translating to a higher FPS ceiling in games. It also boasts a massive lead in draw calls per second (14,077,855 vs 3,294,083) and Supernova DX11 FPS (117.4 vs 27.5), showcasing its superior capability in handling game engines. With 20 cores and 28 threads, plus 33 MB of L3 cache, the Core i7-14700KF significantly outperforms the Core Ultra X7 358H's 16 cores, 16 threads, and 18 MB L3 cache in multi-threaded tasks, scoring 14.3 Gop/s in integer MT compared to 6.4 Gop/s. However, it's important to note that the Core Ultra X7 358H's results are based on only one verified run, making its performance less certain than the Core i7-14700KF, which has five.

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
