Fragz' verdict
The Core i7-14700KF definitively outperforms the Ryzen 5 1600 Six-Core Processor, taking the lead by a massive 147.4% in overall CPU score, though it's worth noting the Ryzen 5's data is based on a single verified run. This significant gap is evident across all CPU-specific tests, with the Core i7-14700KF delivering more than double the single-thread performance at 0.9 Gop/s compared to the Ryzen's 0.41 Gop/s, and nearly three times the draw calls per second, reaching 14,077,855. For gamers, this translates to a much higher FPS ceiling and smoother frame delivery, as shown by its 117.4 FPS in Supernova DX11 versus the Ryzen's 48.7 FPS. Given its superior performance in multi-threaded tasks, single-thread operations, and game-specific metrics, the Core i7-14700KF is the overwhelmingly better choice for any modern gaming system. The Ryzen 5 1600 Six-Core Processor, with its CPU score of 5922 and rank of 42 out of 57, would only be suitable for very basic systems where performance is not a priority.

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
