I won't be buying Intel CPUs for years to come. Haven't upgraded since 2016. Years of "incremental" improvements while still advertising $1000+ CPU prices has deterred me for quite some time. Intel fanboys might eat it up though. Given their history of significant delays in the current roadmap, how does this compare to their competition who is quickly advancing on 10nm? Also what is this internal naming schema? > The…
Intel's CPUs today are still king when it comes to single-thread workloads, like gaming. The main difference in the past two years has been that AMD has taken the lead in multi-thread performance, and that's scared Intel so much that they've significantly improved multi-thread performance and price across the board. The difference is quite stark, in both directions [1]: AMD destroys Intel in anything that benefits fr…
The current guidance for "good" gaming CPUs is in the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 and Intel i5 10600 range (+/- "X" or "K"). The 3900X and 10900K mentioned above will outperform these two, but it is unlikely to be a significant limiting factor for most gamers. At this level, Intel still beats AMD for gaming performance.
Finally, if you're looking to go for a more budget build, the AMD Ryzen 3 3300X is a very solid entry-level gaming CPU. Based on my observations, most guidance suggests this CPU for lower-cost builds than can support an i5 or Ryzen 5.
If you're looking to make some educated decisions between CPUs, always look for benchmarks. Gamers Nexus [0] does very good CPU reviews, with a mix of gaming and productivity workloads. If you're leaning more production workloads, Phoronix [1] has one of the most comprehensive test suites out there.
