Processor comparisons 10-01-2022
For example you can't decide which processor to buy, you can make a choice by looking at the Intel Core i9-12900KF vs AMD EPYC 75F3 tests and see which is better for games or simple use for streaming, machine learning, rendering, programming, video editing. Here you can find all information from various benchmarks or real video editing and streaming tests. A thorough review of all the technical characteristics, to make it easier to understand, is made by the table.
From the video comparison, you can get the results of parallel examination in special test applications like RealBench, Handbrake, PassMark, PCMark 10, 3DMark, Geekbench 5.2, Gears 5, Blender, UserBenchmark, SuperPi, DaVinci Resolve Studio, Cinebench 23 (20, 15), MATLAB, VeraCrypt, Prime95, WPrime, World of Tanks enCore Benchmark, Furmark, Dolphin Emulator, Blender, 7zip, AIDA64.

Summary benchmark resultsAs a percentage of the maximum value based on a sample from the entire base of all processors
Processor Benchmark
| Core i9-12900KF | 80% |
EPYC 75F3 | 88% |
This parameter shows the performance of the processors in single-threaded and multi-threaded mode. In this comparison, EPYC 75F3 is 9% better than Core i9-12900KF. The data source is several popular tests. More detailed information of the benchmarks is below.
Gaming performance
Summary result of all game benchmarks.| Core i9-12900KF | 68% |
EPYC 75F3 | 97% |
The maximum result in this parameter is 100 percent, which is the performance of the most powerful processor currently available. And it is clear that this is a server processor, on which no one will play games. Because the cost of this processor reaches several tens of thousands of dollars. Therefore, if you think that the selected CPU has a low game result, look at the FPS that it produces in real games in the final table below.
List of less popular games in which processors were compared: NBA 2K20, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Ghostrunner, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG), Metro Exodus, Monster Hunter World, DOTA 2A, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Half-Life: Alyx, Microsoft Flight Simulator, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS GO), Resident Evil 7 Biohazard, Control, Forza Horizon 4, Battlefield V, Hitman 3, Horizon Zero Dawn, League of Legends (LOL).
Gaming benchmark| Fortnite | 119.7 | 172.4 | | Valorant | 136.0 | 195.9 | | Cyberpunk 2077 | 76.2 | 109.7 | | Apex Legends | 127.9 | 184.1 | | Call of Duty Warzone | 102.0 | 146.9 | | Overwatch | 110.2 | 158.7 | | Red Dead Redemption 2 | 93.9 | 135.2 | | DOOM Eternal | 68.0 | 97.9 | | Warzone | 106.1 | 152.8 | | Assassin's Creed | 114.3 | 164.5 | | Valheim | 112.9 | 162.6 |
The numbers in this table indicate the maximum FPS that was received on the device with the corresponding processor. Depending on the configuration of the computer (RAM size and Video Card) and graphics quality settings (Ultra, Medium, Normal), the results may differ quite significantly. We recommend that you better study the results of the Cinebench, GeekBench and Passmark becnmarks.
The tested computers not only did they have different amounts of RAM and different video cards. But users also tested them at different screen resolutions: FullHD, 2K or 4K. So the game benchmark data is approximate. But all video cards met the average system requirements of games. You will get more accurate information about how powerful the processor will be in games, if you compare it in one assembly with the video card that is installed in your computer.
Power consumption
| Core i9-12900KF | 52% |
EPYC 75F3 | 17% |
To make a final decision on which processor is better, you should also consider the generation of its core. The newer the processor generation, the better its performance in games and benchmarks, as well as its energy efficiency. In this case the Core i9-12900KF is more energy efficient than the EPYC 75F3 as it consumes less power: 125W vs. 280W. Power consumption is especially important for laptops. And TDP should be taken into account when choosing a processor cooling system. It is necessary to calculate so that the TDP data specified in the cooler specification is greater than the TDP of the compared processor.
Software benchmarksIf you want to use the processor not only for gaming, but also for video editing or video rendering, streaming, machine learning, programming, then the main parameter for you is its performance in multi-threaded mode. In this mode, to reach maximum performance, the CPU includes all cores and threads that it has. You will learn this data from the benchmark tables below. Before using the data from these tests, be sure to find out whether the software that you are going to use on your computer can work in multi-threaded mode. Because there are still many programs that use only one core to run, and all the benefit of multi-core mode are unused.

Comparison of specifications
In the specification comparison table, the processor release date and overclocking capability will be the most helpful. The later the processor is released, the longer it will last you. And the easier it will be to upgrade the system in the future. The same benefits from the presence of overclocking. If the processor can be overclocked, increasing its performance, then it will continue to maintain maximum FPS in new games. Accordingly, you do not need to buy a new CPU to enjoy the games any longer. The economy are obvious!
