Last year’s comparison, which was presented by AMD, of course, concerned the mobile variants of both products, but as the editors of the Chinese website MyDrivers have now found out, it also applies to the desktop. There was a comparison of a Core i9-14900K combined with a GeForce GTX 1650. The original model with GDDR5 was chosen (the later version with GDDR6 brought practically no performance shift) and the performance was compared in 12 games:
If the titles of the games are difficult to read, know that they are (in this order, omitting 3DMarks): GTA V, Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla, Horizon: Zero Dawn, Far Cry 5, Far Cry 6, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Forza Horizon 5, PUBG, Cyberpunk 2077, The Witcher 3, Borderlands 3 and Gears 5.
The integrated Ryzen 7 8700G with DDR5-8000 graphics is 30% faster in gaming (not counting 3DMarks) than the combination of Core i9-14900K + GeForce GTX 1650. The Ryzen 7 8700G with DDR5-6400 is also 15% faster with 3DMarks, and the mainstream Ryzen 5 8600G it offers the same performance as the aforementioned combination of Core and GeForce. However, the Ryzen 5 8600G still offers a more balanced performance, which did not go below 30 FPS in any of the tested games, while on the GeForce GTX 1650 it went below 30 FPS in three titles.

The Ryzen 7 8700G (with both faster and slower memories) outperformed even the standalone Radeon RX 6400. It is therefore no wonder that AMD is preparing a GPU in this year’s generation of graphics cards Navi 44which former Navi 24 used on Radeon RX 6400/6500 within the new series will formally replace.
GeForce GTX 1650, although its production has officially ended, is still sold and is basically the most powerful product in Nvidia’s offer in the price range for 4,000 CZK (you can also find models with a price of over 5,000 CZK, but probably no sane person would buy them of their own free will , for a similar price, the much faster Radeon RX 6600 is available).
The GeForce GTX 1650 has a TDP of 75 watts, but most available models have a factory OC and a TDP of ~90 watts (power is increased more than power due to OC, as is usually the case). The TDP of the Core i9-14900K is 125 watts (real consumption can exceed 300 watts), but even if we take into account that a potential buyer of the GeForce GTX 1650 will buy a more affordable 65W Intel model, the maximum consumption of such a combo will still be many times higher than Ryzen 7 8700G / Ryzen 5 8600G.
