Intel has for some years offered CPUs that are better for gaming than AMD, due to strong clock speeds and single-core performance. But with the debut of the Ryzen family of CPUs, AMD has attracted more people to its hardware.
Intel focused on the single-core performance of the Core i9-9900K and it’s proved to be really good. The processor is best for gaming, as modern games require multiple cores to run, but it also has an overwhelming single-core performance, which is something AMD has long struggled for.
Before the debut of Ryzen series, AMD was aiming to increase the number of cores and thread counts without chasing Intel with amazing results on each core. After Ryzen-9 3900X, which is likely to surpass the Intel’s Core i9-9900K as AMD has taken an epic step in matching single-core performance. What it will mean for the games is an increased frame rate, which puts both rivals on the top of comparison charts, depending on which game you want to analyze. As the 9900K is Intel’s state of art gaming CPU, it also makes the Ryzen-9 3900X, AMD’s big fish in the gaming world.
The notable difference between the Intel’s Core i9-9900K and AMD’s Ryzen-9 3900X is the number of cores and threads, with the latter CPU coming with 12 core and 24 threads, all in a 105W TDP processor, which is mind-blowing. It provides an opportunity for best gaming performance as well as immense work-loads like video editing and streaming.
If you are going to play games on the Ryzen-9 3900X, it won’t limit yourself. All you need to do is to use it with the right GPU according to your display resolution, like RTX 2060 for 1080p and 1440p gaming or an RTX 2080 Ti if you’re willing to enjoy a 4K gaming experience.
The reason why AMD’s market is so fascinating is that it is adopting tech competition with more pace than ever, showing that it is more likely to be at the front of a tech race.
