I found this question in another group (misc.rural)...
Which is stronger, a round post or square post? Assume the posts
are
both made from the same wood and are both equivalent in width.

Under what conditions?

Compression loading as in a column?

The bending loading on a post at ground level that is buried a
couple of feet in the ground?

You have to define the problem first.

We're talking about fence posts.
