Core i7-14700K vs Ryzen 7 9800X3D

By chicksaw, independent project · FPS model checked against 1,579 measured benchmarks in 106 games · How we estimate FPS

Which processor is faster for gaming? Estimated FPS in 8 CPU-heavy games at 1080p High, once with an RTX 5090 (so the processor is the limit) and once with an RTX 4060, the more typical case.

The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is about 16% faster in games than the Core i7-14700K when the graphics card is not the limit. With a mid-range card like the RTX 4060 the difference practically disappears.
