Which processor is best among Intel vs AMD Ryzen : Best Processor for Gaming

Since earlier days it has always been a competition between Intel and Ryzen

.Most of the users were  complaining about the heating issues  they face in AMD Ryzen processors.But nowadays in 2020 things are changed a lot,both these processors are great processors and performs excellent at different tasks.When building a system we check out different parameters such as GPU,CPU,Ram,

Motherboard and Disk storage.It is important to choose a correct processor for your system to get the best performance,just stick to the end of this blog to find out the which processor is best among Intel vs AMD  and decide which one suits best for your system.

 

Few weeks back Intel has launched 10 generation processors and AMD Ryzen has launched 3000 series processors.Take a look at all of these models. 

All Intel 10th Generation Processors

Intel has launched variety of processors in 10 generation segment scroll down

to view all these processors one by one.I have picked one from each one of the segment for comparison between  Intel and Ryzen processors.

Core i3 Processors

Core i5 Processors

Core i7 Processors

Core i9 Processors

Core i9 X-Series Processors

AMD Ryzen 3000 Series Processors

Intel brings core i3,i5,i7 and i9 series whereas AMD Ryzen has Ryzen 3, Ryzen 5,Ryzen 7,Ryzen 9 and Ryzen Thread Ripper.I have compared  these processors based on series segment.

Gaming Benchmarks

CONCLUSION

Well if you see this you might think that intel wins the battle but wait a second i just showed you the gaming performance which is based on single the intel processor performs 5.63% better than the AMD Ryzen 3600X but if you take the case of multi core performance the AMD ryzen is 8% faster in handling Adobe products,

Compression,Decompression and video production.So finally taking price into consideration if you needs 5.63% better fps then you can definitely go for intel and you need a multi tasking CPU then you cam go with AMD Ryzen processor.The total cost will rise up for intel as the cooler is not included with intel processor.

Gaming Benchmarks

CONCLUSION

Well the Intel processors is on an average 7.84% faster than the Ryzen processor in gaming but in multi core performance the AMD Ryzen out performs Intel Both the processors are great processors no one is a clear among these two if you need a multi tasking CPU go for AMD Ryzen and if you need a game centric CPU go for Intel.Remember if used GTX 2080 Super the results will  be higher in gaming if the graphic card is 2080 Ti in the Intel processor.

AMD Ryzen™ Threadripper™ 3990X Processor is the world's strongest desktop processor and world's most expensive desktop processor.The Intel has it's Intel core i9-10980 XE is the Intel's most expensive processor.Both these processors are designed for Photo,Video editing,Motion effects,game development and 3D animation.There is no much significant difference in gaming benchmarks but there is lot difference in video production,software handing.If you purchase Intel you have to compromise slightly in gaming but lot in multi core parameters.Again if your have tons of go straight for Threadripper.
