While the Intel 14th Gen Core CPUs were delivering great performance for this benchmark that heavily exercises the system memory bandwidth, the new parts did poorly when looking at the recorded CPU power consumption and ultimately the performance per Watt.

NAS Parallel Benchmarks benchmark with settings of Test / Class: BT.C. Ryzen 9 7950X3D was the fastest.
NAS Parallel Benchmarks benchmark with settings of Test / Class: EP.C. Core i9 14900K was the fastest.
NAS Parallel Benchmarks benchmark with settings of Test / Class: FT.C. Ryzen 9 7950X3D was the fastest.
NAS Parallel Benchmarks benchmark with settings of Test / Class: LU.C. Ryzen 9 7950X3D was the fastest.
NAS Parallel Benchmarks benchmark with settings of Test / Class: SP.C. Ryzen 9 7950X3D was the fastest.

With other HPC benchmarks like NPB, the new Intel processors did deliver better performance than their predecessors but were still behind the top-end Ryzen 7000 series processors with 16 Zen 4 cores. AMD's 3D V-Cache also helps out in some of these tests.

Rodinia benchmark with settings of Test: OpenMP Leukocyte. Core i9 14900K was the fastest.
Rodinia benchmark with settings of Test: OpenMP CFD Solver. Core i9 14900K was the fastest.
NAMD benchmark with settings of ATPase Simulation, 327,506 Atoms. Core i9 14900K was the fastest.

The higher clock speeds of the new Intel CPUs were of help in some HPC workloads like NAMD and Rodinia.

In NAMD, the peak CPU power consumption of the Core i9 14900K ended up being much higher than with the Core i9 13900K on the same system.

OpenFOAM benchmark with settings of Input: drivaerFastback, Medium Mesh Size, Mesh Time. Ryzen 9 7950X3D was the fastest.
OpenFOAM benchmark with settings of Input: drivaerFastback, Medium Mesh Size, Execution Time. Core i9 13900K was the fastest.
OpenRadioss benchmark with settings of Model: Bumper Beam. Ryzen 9 7950X was the fastest.
OpenRadioss benchmark with settings of Model: Cell Phone Drop Test. Ryzen 9 7950X3D was the fastest.
OpenRadioss benchmark with settings of Model: Bird Strike on Windshield. Ryzen 9 7950X3D was the fastest.
SPECFEM3D benchmark with settings of Model: Layered Halfspace. Ryzen 9 7950X3D was the fastest.
SPECFEM3D benchmark with settings of Model: Tomographic Model. Ryzen 9 7950X was the fastest.

The higher clock speeds were showing generational improvements in other interesting HPC workloads like OpenRadioss, OpenFOAM, and SPECFEM3D but still not outperforming the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X and 7950X3D processors.
