Fragz' verdict
The Core i7-14700KF takes the win in this CPU showdown, leading the Ryzen 7 7700 by a solid 35.9% in its overall CPU score. This substantial lead is primarily driven by its superior multi-threaded performance, hitting 14.3 Gop/s in the integer test compared to the Ryzen's 8 Gop/s, thanks in part to its significantly higher core and thread count. The Core i7-14700KF also shows a stronger single-thread performance at 0.9 Gop/s, suggesting a higher FPS ceiling in many games. However, the Ryzen 7 7700 did manage to pull ahead in our Supernova DX11 test with 121.1 FPS and handled more draw calls per second, though its data comes from just one verified run, making the results less certain. If multi-threaded heavy lifting and top-end single-thread performance are your priority, the Core i7-14700KF is the clear choice, but the Ryzen 7 7700's particular strengths in DX11 and draw calls could be a factor to watch as more data comes in.

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
