Intel Core i5 14400F CPU Review

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart

With all new graphical and technical enhancements for deeper immersion, Red Dead Redemption 2 for PC takes full advantage of the power of the PC to bring every corner of this massive, rich and detailed world to life including increased draw distances; higher quality global illumination and ambient occlusion for improved day and night lighting; improved reflections and deeper, higher resolution shadows at all distances; tessellated tree textures and improved grass and fur textures for added realism in every plant and animal.

Available now on Steam.

In Ratchet & Clank, we again see a gain, but this time of only 3%, which don’t get me wrong, is nice to see any uplift in performance, but at such a small amount, it doesn’t give a reason to upgrade, though I doubt anyone would be moving from a 13th gen CPU to a 14th gen equivalent, though more importantly, the Ryzen 5 7600 is flying here and overtaking the likes of the more expensive 5800X3D and i5 14600K.

With Ray Tracing enabled, we drop to now just a single FPS difference between both i5 processors, though it’s clear to see based on how close the 14600K is that we are quite limited with performance across the board showing that most CPUs will net similar performance in the scene we tested and a stronger CPU won’t necessarily give much more performance over another.
