Measured comparison

Fragz' verdict

The Core Ultra 7 270K Plus is the clear winner here, leading the Ryzen 7 7800X3D by a substantial 50% in overall CPU score, though it's important to note both CPUs have only one verified run. This lead is evident in its superior single-thread performance of 0.69 Gop/s, crucial for gaming, compared to the Ryzen's 0.56 Gop/s. The Core Ultra 7 also dominates the Supernova DX11 test with 113.9 FPS and 13,664,107 draw calls per second, alongside nearly double the multi-threaded integer performance at 12.7 Gop/s thanks to its 24 cores and higher 5412 MHz peak clock. While the Ryzen 7 7800X3D does feature a much larger 96 MB L3 cache, its measured performance metrics place it significantly lower in our rankings.

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
