Intel Core i5 14400F CPU Review

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020

The Microsoft Flight Simulator Game of the Year (GOTY) Edition celebrates all the positive feedback, reviews and awards garnered, but it is also a “Thank You” to our fans – new and old – that have made Microsoft Flight Simulator such a phenomenon. Best of all, the Microsoft Flight Simulator Game of the Year Edition will be available as a free update for existing players on PC.

Available now on Steam.

Microsoft Flight Simulator is well known for having pretty severe bottleneck issues and we can certainly see some of that going on here with a handful of CPUs unable to even break the 60 FPS mark at 1080p. The 14400F from Intel sees a pretty healthy 9% increase in performance from the older 13400F, but when we look at the next CPU up from the 14th gen line-up we actually see quite a large jump in performance, along with the 7600 from AMD out performing Intel by a whopping 32%. With gains like this in certain titles, the argument for AMD is only going to get stronger and just makes Intel look worse.
