Fragz' verdict
The Core i7-14700KF is the undisputed champion in this matchup, leading the Ryzen 9 5900HX with Radeon Graphics by a substantial 83.7% in overall CPU score. This dominant performance is evident across all CPU-focused metrics. The Core i7-14700KF delivers significantly higher single-thread performance at 0.9 Gop/s, boosting the FPS ceiling in games, and pushes a massive 14,077,855 draw calls per second, ensuring the GPU is always fed. Its superior 14.3 Gop/s in multi-threaded integer operations, along with more cores, threads, L3 cache, and a higher peak clock of 5165 MHz, translates to a much smoother experience, especially with background tasks or streaming. In the Supernova DX11 scene, the Core i7-14700KF achieves 117.4 FPS compared to the Ryzen 9's 71.8 FPS, clearly demonstrating its gaming prowess. For gamers seeking top-tier CPU performance, the Core i7-14700KF is the clear choice.

What the numbers mean
The headline score is the part's best measured run, and the measurements under it come from that same run. It shows what the part has been proven to do — not what an average rig gets out of it. 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
