Processor comparisons 10-01-2022
For example you can't decide which processor to buy, you can make a decision after reading the comprehensive tests Intel Core i9-12900KF vs AMD EPYC 7713 and understand which is better for games or normal use for video editing, rendering, streaming, machine learning, programming. Here you can find useful information from real streaming and video editing tests or several benchmarks. A thorough review of all the specifications, to make it easier to understand, is made by the table.
From the video comparison, you can get the results of joint testing in software tests like Gears 5, Cinebench 23 (20, 15), RealBench, MATLAB, SuperPi, WPrime, World of Tanks enCore Benchmark, Blender, AIDA64, DaVinci Resolve Studio, VeraCrypt, Dolphin Emulator, UserBenchmark, Handbrake, PassMark, 7zip, Prime95, Blender, Furmark, 3DMark, PCMark 10, Geekbench 5.2.

For the maximum in this test, the results of the most powerful processor in the site database are taken. And of course, 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. And if it seems to you that the selected CPU has a low game result, just look at the FPS that it produces in real games in the final table below.
List of other games in which CPU comparisons were performed: Forza Horizon 4, Metro Exodus, Resident Evil 7 Biohazard, NBA 2K20, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Microsoft Flight Simulator, Battlefield V, DOTA 2A, Ghostrunner, Control, League of Legends (LOL), PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG), Half-Life: Alyx, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS GO), Hitman 3, Monster Hunter World, Horizon Zero Dawn.

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 computers that were in the comparisons not only did they have different amounts of RAM and different video cards. But users also tested them at different screen resolutions: 2K, 4K or FullHD. Therefore, the game benchmark data is approximate. But all video cards met the average system requirements of games. To be sure exactly how much performance 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 7713 | 20% |
To make a finishing 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 7713 since it has less power consumption: 125W vs. 225W. Power consumption is particularly important for laptops. Also, when choosing a processor cooling system, it will be useful to know its TDP. 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 benchmarksLet's say you want to use the processor not only for gaming, but also for streaming, machine learning, programming, video editing or video rendering, then the main parameter for you is its performance in multi-threaded mode. In this mode, to reach maximum performance, the processor uses all threads and cores that it has. You will find out this data from the benchmark tables below. Before you take into account 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. Since there are still many programs that can use only one core to work, 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 useful. The newer the processor, the longer it will last in your computer. And the easier it will be to upgrade the system in the future. The same benefits from the presence of overclocking. When the processor can be overclocked, thereby increasing its performance, then it will continue to maintain maximum FPS in new games. The economy are obvious! Accordingly, you do not need to buy a new CPU to enjoy the games any longer.
