Fragz' verdict
The Core i7-14700KF takes a commanding lead, outperforming the Ryzen 7 5700X by 62.8% in CPU score. This dominant performance is evident across the board, with the Core i7-14700KF delivering 0.9 Gop/s in single-thread performance, which often sets the FPS ceiling in games, and 14.3 Gop/s in multi-thread integer performance, beneficial for streaming or background tasks. It also pushes 14,077,855 draw calls per second compared to the Ryzen's 8,577,463, translating to 117.4 FPS in Supernova DX11 versus 71.5 FPS. While the Ryzen 7 5700X only has one verified run, suggesting a thin sample, its 8 cores and 16 threads are simply outmatched by the Core i7-14700KF's 20 cores and 28 threads at a higher peak clock. For gamers seeking top-tier CPU performance, the Core i7-14700KF is the clear choice, but for those less concerned with raw power, the Ryzen 7 5700X still offers a capable CPU experience.

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
