@PfizersaurusRex: I
Intel is still better performance wise, thanks to higher clocks, IPC is the about the same now and AMD wins in performance per watt. But despite that Intel still locks HT for cheaper CPU's and they give you inadequate coolers. It's like they don't care about being competitive. So yeah, screw them. XD
It depends. The 9900ks is still the king of gaming but the i5 lack of threads is a problem is some newer more threads friendly titles where it suffers from stuttering when there's lot of action. Also when it comes to workstation duty Intel doesn't have any advantage. It depends on the workload but there's many case where AMD wins. If you got the money as a workstation the Threadripper 3770x is a no-brainer. As the best value overall (as a wannabe consumer workstation + casual gaming) the Ryzen 3950x wins. Outside of the 9900k(s) in a purely gaming oriented use-case Intel doesn't have much to offer right now honestly.
