Fragz' verdict
The Core i7-14700KF decisively wins this comparison, leading the Ryzen 7 7800X3D by a substantial 62.7% in overall CPU score. This performance gap is evident across CPU-focused tests, with the i7-14700KF delivering significantly higher integer multi-thread performance at 14.3 Gop/s compared to 6.7 Gop/s, alongside a much stronger single-thread score of 0.9 Gop/s. Its higher draw calls per second and Supernova DX11 FPS of 117.4 further highlight its lead in raw CPU throughput, crucial for maintaining high frame rates and handling background tasks in games. However, it must be noted that the Ryzen 7 7800X3D data is based on only one verified run, making the sample size thin and introducing uncertainty. While the Ryzen 7 7800X3D boasts a larger L3 cache at 96 MB, the Core i7-14700KF's higher peak clock speed of 5165 MHz, greater core count of 20, and superior single-thread performance are key factors in its dominant lead in these CPU benchmarks.

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
