Even for gaming, the advantage is marginal though, and it comes with a price increase that is often better put into a better GPU.

Even formerly die-hard intel gaming shops (Linus Tech Tips and similar) are recommending AMD for most gaming rigs nowadays.

i9 9900K: $484 on Newegg

Ryzen 9 3900x: $499 and sold out

And here’s gaming performance. Far Cry 5 has a 25fps advantage. And yes, I have an RTX 2080 Ti

So for a large group of people, Intel still makes sense.

And my reply was in response to “literally no reason to buy an Intel“ which is clearly just not true.
