AMD Ryzen 9 9700X edges past Intel Core i9-14900KF in overclocked AVX battle
Zen 4 processor proves supreme in liquid nitrogen-cooled benchmark
AVX-heavy workloads favor AMD's latest architecture
In a recent overclocking showdown, AMD's Ryzen 9 7950X processor has emerged victorious over Intel's Core i9-14900KF in a specific liquid nitrogen-cooled AVX benchmark. The test, conducted by overclocker Elmor, pitted the two CPUs against each other in the Cinebench R23 benchmark, a popular metric for measuring CPU performance in AVX-heavy workloads.
AVX (Advanced Vector Extensions) is a set of instructions used to accelerate certain types of computations, such as those found in scientific and engineering applications. While AVX can significantly improve performance in these types of workloads, it can also lead to higher power consumption and heat output. In the Cinebench R23 benchmark, the Ryzen 9 7950X was able to edge out the Core i9-14900KF, achieving a score of 49,830 points compared to the latter's 49,749 points.
Both CPUs were overclocked to extreme levels for this benchmark, with the Ryzen 9 7950X running at 6.3 GHz and the Core i9-14900KF running at 7.1 GHz. The fact that the Ryzen 9 7950X was able to beat the Core i9-14900KF despite the latter's higher clock speed is a testament to the efficiency of AMD's Zen 4 architecture. Zen 4 is designed to deliver better performance per watt than its predecessors, and this advantage is particularly evident in AVX-heavy workloads.
It is important to note that the results of this benchmark are specific to the liquid nitrogen-cooled environment. In real-world scenarios, the performance of these two CPUs will likely be closer, as the Core i9-14900KF will be able to maintain its higher clock speeds for longer periods of time. However, the results of this benchmark do suggest that the Ryzen 9 7950X is a formidable competitor to the Core i9-14900KF, especially in AVX-heavy workloads.
