Based on our test results, the 14th-gen chips are marginally faster. In Cinebench R23, the 14th-gen i9 is 5% faster, while for the i5 the difference wasn't significant. In games such as Cyberpunk 2077 or Marvel's Spider-Man, I didn't see that much of a difference, too. I suppose if Intel's APO gets implemented in more games, than perhaps we will see more significant gains for gaming, too. Similar to the 13th-gen chips, the 14th-gen i9 is about 12% faster than the i5 in games such as Marvel's Spider-Man.

The ROG Azoth is a real gem, if you love compact keyboards, that will allow you to express yourself at your best in your games. Equipped with a not inconsiderable weight and a fairly sturdy design, this 75% compact keyboard possesses a truly exceptional responsiveness to allow a very small reaction time. However, in long sessions the absence of a wrist rest is felt given its slightly excessive height. Despite this minor problem, our test ran smoothly, thanks largely to a battery that was nearly

The Asus ROG Azoth is a mechanical keyboard that looks to the DIY world without diving into it entirely, offering a high-level experience and especially in line with the price at which it is sold in terms of quality of materials and ease of use, but it tends to be more expensive than fully custom products of the same level. The NX Red switches are superior to those you would find on any consumer-level keyboard but certainly not up to par with the Enthusiast options
