2024 Opening Edition of Actual Performance Measurement of Top 10 Processors, AMD Ryzen 7000 Series Compared to Intel’s 14th Generation Core i | Tikenet
This time, the author brought a horizontal test that included 10 AMD and Intel processors and provided more data as a reference for purchasing computers in early 2024.
The Core i7-14700K test was late
Because when Intel previously released the 14th generation Core i processor, for some reason I was unable to conduct a full test. I only tested two new models of Core i9 and Core i5. This time I took the opportunity to test the 13th and 14th generation Core i processors i9, Core i7 and Core i5 were fully tested, and four AMD Ryzen 7000 series processors were used as the control group.
Since the 13th and 14th generation Intel Core i processors are basically rebranded, the Core i7-14700K has 4 more sets of E-Core than the previous generation, and the core configuration has been upgraded from 8P8E to 8P12E. The changes are relatively large. This is also the focus of this test. Compared to previous generation products, the main specification change of the Core i9-14900K and Core i5-14600K is that the maximum Boost clock speed is increased by 200/100 MHz respectively.
For the control group, this time a total of 4 processors, AMD’s highest-end and mainstream-level “X version” and “X3D version”, were selected to conduct single-core processor performance tests respectively and multi-core and on gaming performance.
▲ The focus of this test topic is the Core i7-14700K processor with 8P12E core configuration.
▲ GIGABYTE Z790 Aorus Master X motherboard and Aorus Waterforce II 360 water cooling radiator are the new components added for this test.
▲The motherboard paired with the Intel Camp processor is the Z790 Aorus Master
▲ Its first M.2 slot supports PCIe Gen 5×4 transmission channel and has a large heat sink. There are also 4 sets of M.2 slots.
▲ The rear I/O panel provides 13 sets of various USB terminals and 1 set of DisplayPort audio and video output terminals.
▲ An Aorus Waterforce II 360 water cooling radiator with three sets of water cooling radiators with 12cm fan was used during the test.
▲ Its feature is that each fan is connected with an EZ-Chain Mag buckle, which can greatly simplify the power cable and ARGB signal cable.
▲When installing, simply install the 3 sets of fans via EZ-Chain Mag, then connect the single power supply and ARGB modular cable to the motherboard. Wiring is simpler and ventilation can be improved.
Test environment and conditions
In terms of test platforms, the Intel camp uses the GIGABYTE Z790 Aorus Master X motherboard, while the AMD camp chooses to use the older ASRock X670E Taichi motherboard. Both platforms are equipped with GIGABYTE Aorus Waterforce II 360 water cooling radiators.
On each platform, the motherboard automatic overclocking function for EXPO is performed. Two test cycles are performed and the average is calculated after confirming that there are no extreme values.
Except for the game performance of “Absolute Force 2”, which is a manual operation practice mode and the FPS is measured via NVIDIA FrameView, the rest use the game’s built-in test mode, with 1080p, 2K and 4K resolutions at maximum image quality settings. If available When setting the template, the highest template will be applied. Otherwise, everything related to image quality will be adjusted to the highest level, settings such as VRS or dynamic resolution will be turned off, and only adjustments will be made to turn ray tracing on or off.
▲ The protagonist this time is the Core i7-14700K processor with 8P12E core configuration. All tested processors are paired with DDR5-6000 memory.
▲Processors from both Intel and AMD camps are paired with GIGABYTE Z790 Aorus Master X and ASRock X670E Taichi motherboards respectively.
10 key processors for a large car
In the first half we will first look at the performance of processor operations.
▲ In the PCMark10 Extendend comprehensive performance test project, you can see that Ryzen 9 7950X / 7950X3D, which has a larger number of physical cores, is far ahead in digital content, gaming and other projects. Although the Core i9-14900K has more E- Fundamental but still no advantage.
▲ In CrossMark, which is also a comprehensive performance test, the Intel camp leads in every project.
▲ In the Cinebench R20 processor rendering test, you can see that the Core i7-14700K has 4 more sets of E-Cores than the Core i7-13700K, so it widens the gap in multi-core designs. As with previous and subsequent generations of Core i9 and Core i5, there are only slight clock differences, so the difference isn’t that noticeable.
▲ The Cinebench R23 processor rendering test increases the computational load, and each processor shows a similar trend.
▲ In the latest Cinebench 2024 processor rendering test, the performance of each processor in single-core designs is relatively close. The Core i9-14900K won the championship in both single and multi-core designs.
▲ In the POV-Ray ray tracing rendering test, the Core i9-14900K leads the Ryzen 9 7950X by about 6.78 percent in the multi-core design, while the Core i7-14700K leads the Core i7-13700K by 14. 39%.
▲ In the V-Ray ray tracing rendering test section, the Ryzen 9 7950X outperformed the Core i9-14900K by 7.41%.
▲ In the video conversion performance tests of X264 and 7950X / 7950X3D.
▲ During the X264 test, Ryzen 9 7950X / 7950X3D only used 16 execution threads, and another 16 execution threads were idle, resulting in abnormal performance.
▲ Switching to using Handbreak for video conversion does not have this problem. The performance of the Ryzen 9 7950X and Core i9-14900K are quite close, with the other winning or losing in the two designs.
▲ The 3DMark CPU Profile processor multitasking test can show the performance of the same processor under different loads. It is worth noting that the Ryzen 9 7950X/7950X3D with 16 cores and the Core i9-14900K/13900K with 8P16E core configuration still have performance growth between 16 threads and Max threads. On the other hand, the 8P12E’s Core i7-14700K also grew slightly, while the 8P8E’s Core i7-13700K has almost no growth at all because there are only 16 sets of physical cores in total.
▲ Select a few processors for a standardized comparison (relative to their 1-thread performance multiples). For example, Ryzen 9 7950X performance in Max thread is 15.06x that of 1 thread. Note that the Core i7-14700K’s Max thread performance benefits from the extra E-Core and is better than the Core i7-13700K. As for the Core i9-14900K with 8P16E core configuration, it’s 13.45x, compared to 7.1x for 8 threads. It can be roughly estimated that 16 sets of E-Cores provide a total of approximately 6.35 times the performance contribution of a single P-Core.
▲ In the AIDA64 memory test, the performance of L1 cache memory is more outstanding in the Intel field.
▲ L2 cache memory is surpassed by the AMD camp.
▲ The performance of both sides in L3 cache memory is relatively close. It can be seen that AMD’s “version X3D” processor equipped with 3D V-Cache has worse performance than the general “version X” due to its architectural design.
▲In the main memory part the Intel camp is clearly ahead.
▲ Both sides lose in terms of cache memory latency, but in terms of main memory latency, the Intel camp has the upper hand.
▲ In the AIDA64 burn-in test it can be seen that the 14th generation Core i processor performed very enthusiastically.
▲ Regarding burn-in temperature performance, in FPU and CPU+FPU designs, the AMD and Intel groups reported burn-in temperatures of 95 and 100 degrees.
The king of gaming performance is still 3D V-Cache
Next, we continue to look at each processor’s performance in games.
▲ We first looked at the 3DMark Fire Strike Extreme test project using the Direct X 11 drawing API at 2K (2560 x 1440) resolution. There is a large gap in physical scores relative to the processor, but the Core i9-14900K/13900K scores lower in terms of imaging and completeness for unknown reasons, which in turn affects the overall score.
▲ The 3DMark Time Spy Extreme test project uses the Direct X 12 graphics API at 4K resolution. The image scores of each processor are quite close. The main difference is the processor score.
▲ Next, let’s take a look at the actual part of the game. FPS performance is very important to the gaming experience in the first-person shooting competition “Absolute Force 2”. It can be seen that with 3D V-Cache support, the Ryzen 9 7950X3D and Ryzen 7 7800X3D perform very well at 1080p resolution. The average FPS can exceed the Core i9-14900K by 6.61%, which can reflect the smoothness and fluidity of 99 The percentage FPS percentile is also relatively high.
▲ When ray tracing is turned off in “Tomb Raider: Shadow”, Ryzen 9 7950X3D and Ryzen 7 7800X3D stand out. But when it comes to 4K resolution, the performance bottleneck shifts from the processor to the graphics card (GPU Bond), resulting in similar performance of each processor.
▲ After enabling ray tracing in “Tomb Raider: Shadow”, the processor of the “X3D version” still has some advantages. Regardless of whether ray tracing is enabled or not, each processor’s 4K resolution performance is quite similar.
▲ Without ray tracing in “Creepy Tunnel: Exile”, the gap between processors will not be too large, and most of them are within the test error range.
▲ After enabling ray tracing in “Thriller Tunnel: Exile”, only the performance of 1080p resolution experienced noticeable fluctuations.
▲ When ray tracing is disabled in “Watch Dogs: Legion of Liberty,” the Ryzen 9 7950X3D and Ryzen 7 7800X3D lead the Core i9-14900K by 13.41 percent and 9.5 percent, respectively, at 1080p resolution.
▲ After enabling ray tracing in “Watch Dogs: Liberty Legion”, the processor of the “X3D version” still has a clear advantage in 1080p resolution.
▲ “Far Cry 6” is a game that is relatively sensitive to processor performance. Although the “X3D version” processor performs better than the two corresponding “X versions”, it is still outperformed by the Core i9-14900K.
▲ After activating ray tracing in “Far Cry 6”, the processor of the “X3D version” was the best at every resolution.
▲ The Dubai (Dubai) test project of “Assassin’s Mission III” includes a variety of scenes and NPC characters. The overall load is low. Performance is better with Core i9-14900K, Core i9-13900K, Ryzen 7 7800X3D and other processors.
▲ After Dubai enabled ray tracing in “Assassin’s Mission III”, the gap between processors narrowed, but overall the AMD camp was better.
▲ The Dartmoor test project of “Assassin’s Mission III” includes many shooting and explosion effects, is full of particle physics and simulation, and is a more severe test for the processor and graphics card. The processor of the “X3D version” can still offer higher FPS performance even at 4K resolution.
▲ After Dartmoor enabled ray tracing in “Assassin’s Mission III”, the Core i9-14900K / 13900K performed better at 1080p resolution, while the AMD camp was slightly ahead in 2K and 4K.
▲ In “Dynasty 2077”, when ray tracing is turned off, the Core i9-14900K has the best performance. At 1080p resolution, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D is only 1.2% behind, and performance isn’t bad.
▲ After enabling ray tracing in “Dian Yu Rebel 2077”, the performance of each processor tends to be constant, and the performance is about the same at 4K resolution.
From the test data, we can see that the Core i7-14700K adds 4 more E-Cores than the previous generation, which actually leads to higher multitasking performance. The other tested processors also have their own characteristics. I will talk about it in the next article. The article analyzes purchasing suggestions for different usage needs.
