Fragz' verdict
The Core Ultra 7 265K is the clear victor in this CPU showdown, leading the Ryzen 5 5600G with Radeon Graphics by a substantial 66% in overall CPU score. However, with only two verified runs for each processor, the sample size is thin, and results should be considered with some uncertainty. This performance gap is evident across all CPU benchmarks, with the Core Ultra 7 265K delivering significantly higher single-thread performance at 0.76 Gop/s compared to 0.53 Gop/s for the Ryzen, which is crucial for maximizing in-game frame rates. Its superior multi-threaded integer performance of 9.7 Gop/s versus 4.7 Gop/s, coupled with 20 cores and 20 threads, means it handles background tasks, streaming, and compiling much more efficiently. Furthermore, the Core Ultra 7 265K pushes 11,934,135 draw calls per second and achieves 99.5 FPS in the Supernova DX11 scene, against the Ryzen's 8,134,969 draw calls per second and 67.8 FPS, supported by its higher peak clock of 5316 MHz and larger 30 MB L3 cache. While the Core Ultra 7 265K offers a substantial performance uplift, the Ryzen 5 5600G with Radeon Graphics could still be a suitable choice if top-tier CPU performance isn't the absolute priority for a gamer's specific needs.

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
