The Ryzen 7 7800X3D continues to demonstrate why it is one of the finest gaming CPUs. According to German news outlet Computerbase, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D outperformed the forthcoming Core i9-14900K by a whopping 64% on the Factorio gaming benchmark.
Factorio, as the name suggests, is a 2D simulation game in which you build and operate factories. It includes a built-in benchmark with various maps for measuring CPU performance. Factorio is one of the few games that does not require a graphics card, hence its popularity is growing. Factorio loves cache, which offers the Ryzen 7 7800X3D and other CPUs with AMD’s 3D V-cache a significant advantage over Intel’s parts.
Factorio results are expressed in updates per second (UPS), as opposed to frames per second (FPS) in other games. The higher the number, the better, because it signifies that the CPU can complete the computations faster, allowing the game to run more quickly. The Core i9-19400K was benchmarked using the flame_Sla 10k – 10x1000spm Belt Module map, which is one of Factorio’s most popular maps for testing processor performance.
The Ryzen 7 7800X3D was 64% faster than the Core i9-14900K in the rankings
Even the Ryzen 7 5800X3D from the previous generation outscored the Core i9-14900K by 23%. The vanilla Ryzen versions cannot compete with the Core i9-14900K. The Raptor Lake Refresh flagship outperformed the Ryzen 7 7700X, the fastest Ryzen CPU without 3D V-Cache on the Factorio leaderboard, by up to 12%.
The unreleased Raptor Lake Refresh chip in the database wasn’t the only one. Someone else tested the Core i7-14700K with the similar settings. The Core i9-14900K was only 3% quicker than the Core i7-14700K, which is not surprising given that the latter is the only Raptor Lake Refresh chip with a small E-core increase.
The Core i9-14900K was only 5% quicker than the current Core i9-13900K. Again, this is to be expected given that Raptor Lake Refresh boasts somewhat higher clock speeds than its regular counterparts. The Core i5-14600K, on the other hand, performed comparable to AMD’s previous iteration of Ryzen 5000 series powered by Zen 3 cores, the Ryzen 5 5600X.
