I believe that many friends will have this question when buying a CPU. Should I choose AMD or Intel for CPU? Should I buy i5 or i7 if I choose Intel, will I lose performance if I buy i9? Should I buy R5 or R7 if I buy AMD?...... In order to answer these questions, some time ago, we at ZOL Zhongguancun Online brought you the 2023 CPU review, by selecting 12 mid-to-high-end 13th/14th generation Core processors and AMD Ryzen 7000 processors for horizontal evaluation tests. The specific test platform is as follows:
Friends who are interested in the test results and the test process can click the link at the end of the article to jump to view, and will not repeat it. However, considering that most of my friends' time is more precious,Here is a brief summary of the results after this horizontal evaluation,If you pay more attention to cost performance,Usually more about playing games,AMD processor's cost performance is still very high,At the same time, the current AM5 platform can also be used until 2025,Subsequent upgrades are more convenient,Of course, Intel benefits from still supporting DDR4 platform,The cost performance of the whole machine is also very good,Comprehensive productivity test and game test here I recommend 14700K、 13600KF and 7800X3D.
Of course, the above recommendations are more about cost performance, if you want to get the best experience, then 13900K, 14900K and 7950X3D are still the most suitable choices for geek gamers. Here we use 14900K with 4090 to form a current luxury DIY console, and then we will show you what level the current flagship console is from the theoretical test and game test.
1/ Theory test
Let's take a look at CPU performance first, in CPU-Z, 14900K ran out of single-threaded 902.4 and multi-threaded 16524.2 scores, and in the latest CINEBENCHR24, 14900K ran out of single-threaded 136 points, multi-threaded 2223 points, and other scores are as shown in the figure, it can be said that in the theoretical test, 14900K dominates.
In addition to CPU performance, its GPU performance is also very strong. We chose 3DMark for testing, and the graphics card scored 37202, 19649, and 47318 in the TimeSpy, TSE, and FSE tests, respectively.
2/ Gaming testing
The theoretical test is more of a reference for everyone, and the real performance still needs to be judged according to the game experience, and then we selected two popular games for experience testing.
The first game is the author's favorite recent APEX hero,Tested at the highest resolution of 2560x1440,You can see that the gun practice in the training ground has almost always been maintained at 300 frames,Through the training ground simulation game actual combat,The frame rate has dropped to about 270 frames,And the frame rate in the case of the simulation limit is still about 220 frames,There is no big problem with smooth operation。
The second game, Borderlands 3, with its unique art style, was tested in the built-in BenchMark, the same 2560x1440 resolution, and the image quality was set to the highest settings, and the final test result came to 239 fps.
The test results of these two games are somewhat representative, and it can be said that they basically show the actual gaming capabilities of this top-of-the-line flagship. But as the saying goes, "good birds choose trees to perch, and virtuous ministers choose their masters". In addition to the need for a superior computer configuration, a matching gaming monitor is also very important, and considering the configuration of this top-of-the-line computer and the actual gaming performance, we think the AGON AG276QZD may be the most suitable choice.
This year, various brands have launched new OLED display products, and AGON AG276QZD is one of them, so why do we think it is the best choice?
Test with the SpyderXElite calibrator as well as live shots and in-game experiences. Test items include color gamut, grayscale, color temperature consistency, color/brightness uniformity, and use DisplayCAL to assist in testing the color accuracy of the display. The monitor was factory reset and warmed up for one hour before the test.
According to the test results of SpyderX Elite software, the coverage of the sRGB color gamut of the AGON AG276QZD display is 100%, the coverage of the Adobe RGB color gamut is 91%, and the coverage of the P3 color gamut is 96%.
In terms of color temperature consistency, the white point color temperature of this display is between 5700K~6800K, the color temperature is normal, and the contrast ratio has also reached 10430:1.
In the color uniformity test, the 3rd quadrant of the AGON AG276QZD display is closest to the standard of D65, and the 4th quadrant on the left side of the display has the largest difference with the standard color temperature, but it is only 2.4, and the overall color uniformity performance is very good.
In the brightness uniformity test, the AGON AG276QZD display also performed well overall, with the 6th and 9th quadrants both 0, and the biggest difference was in the 1st and 2nd quadrants, reaching 6%.
The SpyderX Elite software can't test the color accuracy of OLED panels, so we used DisplayCAL to test the color accuracy, and we tested the color accuracy of the display in this mode AG276QZD the AGON monitor.
In this color accuracy test, the AGON AG276QZD display results are less than 0.88, and the color reproduction is very accurate, and the difference in color is not visible to the naked eye.
AGON AG276QZD monitor supportHDR10,We also used Display HDR to test the brightness of this display in HDR mode,Its HDR performance is about 579.16,At present, most of the HDR is applied to pictures and videos,Many games have begun to support HDR,As a professional e-sports monitor,AGON AG276QZD monitor can naturally meet the brightness needs of these gamers。
As the flagship monitor in the sixth generation of AGON, AG276QZD uses a 27-inch OLED panel, 2560x1440 ultra-high resolution, so that the picture content is clearly visible, 240Hz gaming-grade frame rate and as low as 0.01ms response time, whether it is MOBA or FPS games, you can enjoy smooth pictures. Thanks to the characteristics of the OLED panel, the thinnest part of the AG276QZD body is only 5.4mm, and the visual performance far exceeds that of traditional LCD displays. It supports native 10-bit color depth, and the professional-grade color accuracy color rendering effect is more outstanding.
