Starfield CPU Benchmarks & Bottlenecks: Intel vs. AMD Comparison

This benchmark looks at #Starfield for isolated CPU performance to compare the best CPUs for Starfield, including both Intel and AMD options. We stretch back to the AMD R7 2700 and go forward to the AMD 7800X3D, and for Intel, we’re testing the 13900K down to lower-end CPUs, like the 13100F, with some 12th Gen benchmarks as well. Additional comparisons include memory benchmarking / RAM bottlenecks, overclocking scalability for frequency limitations, and more. This follows-up our prior Starfield GPU benchmark comparison, which is already published on the channel.
