i9-14900K vs Athlon II X2 260 - F1 2018 Graphics 448SP Mobile - Game Performance Benchmarks

Multi-Thread Performance

Single-Thread Performance

i9-14900K

• The i9-14900K has higher Level 2 Cache. Data/instructions which have to be processed can be loaded from the fast L2 and the CPU does not have to wait for the very slow DDR RAM
• The i9-14900K has a smaller process size. The faster a transistor can toggle on and off, the faster it can do work. And transistors that turn on and off with less energy are more efficient, reducing the operating power, or “dynamic power consumption,” required by a processor.

Athlon II X2 260

• The Athlon II X2 260 is more power efficient and generates less heat.
