A benchmark test made by PCGH between Intel and Ryzen chips revealed that the former is having a much superior performance while playing AAA games.

The testing was made through various benchmark software and using the GeForce RTX 4090 EPIC-X GPU, which catered to the below results. Though the Ryzen chip came close to Intelโ€™s counterpart in application usage, it was significantly behind in gaming programs.

Benchmark Testing of Desktop CPUs

Two of the prominent desktop hardware OEMs โ€“ Intel and AMD would always be fighting over the No 1 position in this space with their respective cutting-edge technologies. But what determines their effectiveness is always the third-party testing in several conditions.

In this pursuit, the team from PC Games Hardware (PCGH) has tested about 28 Intel Core and AMD Ryzen CPUs โ€“ against six benchmark software with eleven of the recent and popular AAA games. The bunch included,

  • The Callisto Protocol
  • Doom Eternal
  • Dying Light
  • F1 22
  • Microsoft Flight Simulator
  • A Plague Tale: Requiem
  • Total War Warhammer 3
  • The Witcher 3 (Next-gen version)
  • Anno 1800
  • Hitman 3
  • Cyberpunk 2077

And for benchmark software, the team considered CineBench R23 3DMark Time Spy Extreme (CPU), Handbrake, 7-Zip, Adobe Premiere Pro (Puget), and Adobe Photoshop (Puget) for testing. Regarding the process, they noted out of 21 total tests, 6 are some of the top benchmark tests in the market.

But whatโ€™s intriguing is the resolution limits theyโ€™ve chosen โ€“ with each test running in 720p and a screen resolution size of 1280 x 720. The team reasoned this limitation citing as โ€œusualโ€ resolution one would have. Yet, they used PNY GeForce RTX 4090 EPIC-X GPU with ReBAR activated and updated drivers.

The results, as you see above, show Intel chips topping the charts against AMDs. Intelโ€™s high-end Core i9-13900KS has outperformed Ryzenโ€™s 7950X processor, although it offers similar frequency โ€“ but twelve threads less with the same memory.

Testers noted a performance rate of 19.4% and 3.2% for Intel chips against AMDs in terms of gaming and application usage. This shows how superior the Intel chips are against Ryzen in terms of gaming performance.
