> There's a very slight advantage of Intel CPUs in non-GPU constrained games (which means more or less 1080p only...). Very slight. Price/performance falls on Ryzen 3 so hard it's foolish to get an Intel for sure.
it's not a huge advantage, but I'm not sure I would go so far as to call it foolish to buy intel at this point. if your only serious workload is gaming, intel seems like the obvious choice to me. you can actually get a decent all-core overclock on the intel parts, which leads to a significant performance lead in esports titles.
Thats a 10% gain which might help you in some games to stay above the 144Hz or even 200Hz refresh rate of your monitor.
Does not matter for most of us, but some hardcore esports gamers might care. I guess that's a very small minority though.
if you think a 10% fps gain is silly, why buy a high-end cpu for gaming at all?
also the "only at 1080p" meme is not really true for some esports titles. counterstrike is so cpu bound that it really doesn't matter what resolution you play at.
