Haven't watched the video yet but the ryzen 5 5600x is selling for 10-20 bucks less than a 10700k so I'm really wondering if it will live up to thay price tag. Like I suppose it does better in some games but at that price it is really not good. I suppose I'll see what intel 10 nm will be like or if the prices will come down again after the huge price hike.

Basically clock speeds matter more for games, as long as there are more than 4 cores. And it's pretty much clear that Ry5000 series/Zen 3 has a massively better design, which helps it gain better performance "Instructions Per Cycle/IPC" even in a way lower clock speed than what's possible for Intel's 5+GHz [lmao, Intel, catch up please].

[@doctorthee]

True, but also the one that makes the least sense in pricing. It's in a weird position Edit 1: okay guys, imma reconsider. Tho i should add that i'm not in the US hence why the price makes less sense. The reasoning is that at its pricepoint its when people usually go 1440p anyways and thats where the gap is less than at 1080p. Over here, u can almost get a 3900x for the same price, or just get a 3700x for a lot cheaper and even the former (or still?) budget king 3600 is worth considering, especially when these all go on sale now the zen 3 is here. Imo it seems waiting for the non-x 5600 or 5700x will be worth it for a lot of people. Edit 2: stop replying useless comments

We as users get the best possibile experience when the companies fight against each other in every field. And since we are gamers and those CPUs are mainly made for us (especially till the ~400 range), the best possibile scenario for us is when Intel and AMD fight back to each other.

And then I got an intel i7 3770k with an actual air-gap under the IHS and didn't realise until it was too late to swap. And I STILL got an i5 10th gen this summer... At the time, it was sort of 'better' for games, I told myself. But these numbers on the new AMD chips... they're not just competitive, they're incredible.

Not that they can't catch up but just finally AMD has the upper lead in performance this time. Also since this 5600X is rated 65W by AMD I wonder just how cut down would the regular 5600 be, if it turns out there are going to be no 5600, then, I guess Imma snag for 5600X some time later, not sure as well if SAM is going to be in my consideration tho prolly just going to hunt for used GTX 1070 and a X470 motherboard

Kuntal Ghosh, Intel's ageing architecture from 2014 is based on Haswell from 2013. Haswell is based on Ivy Bridge from 2012. Ivy Bridge is based on Sandy Bridge from 2011. Sandy Bridge is based on Westmere from 2010. Westmere is based on Lynnfield from 2009. Lynnfield is based on Nehalem from 2008. Nehalem is based on Core from 2006. Yonah is based on Pentium M from 2003. Pentium M is based on Pentium III from 1999. Pentium III is based on Pentium II from 1997. Pentium II is based on Pentium Pro from 1995. Pentium Pro was a new architecture, built from the ground up, and wasn't based on anything. Intel hasn't successfully built a NEW architecture since 1995! (Pentium 4 and Itanium were new but they were a failure.) Why won't Intel build a new architecture? AMD built a new architecture in 2017 with very little money for R&D.
