Numerical computing
The top model of the 14th generation of Intel Core (Raptor Lake Refresh-S) processors has outperformed everything that has come out for desktop computers so far. In speed, but also in power draw. On the one hand, the 6 GHz metric for single-threaded applications has been reached and the clock speeds are very high even under all-core boost, the side effect is that the Core i9-14900K’s power draw can sometimes spike up to 400 W.
Disclaimer: For big.LITTLE-based processors, there is a missing result in some tests. This is because they didn’t scale properly with P cores and the achieved performance was too low. In such cases it is indeed possible to force performance on all cores, but this does not happen by default at the user level. To avoid creating the illusion in some cases that measured results such as those presented in the graphs are normally achieved, we omit these. However, these are a negligible fraction of the total set of test results.

Stockfish 13
Test environment: Host for the Stockfish 13 engine is a chess app Arena 2.0.1, build 2399.
Aida64, FPU tests
Please note: The very low, inadequate to hardware capabilities performance in Aida64 in FPU tests is achieved by Intel Core i3-13100F and Intel Core i5-13400F due to probably unoptimized application code for these processors.
