In the world of CPUs, Intel and AMD are in heated competition, but the question remains: which is the best for PC gaming? We take a look at both options.
The very best are the AMD X3D ones at the moment, for sure - but if you are on a budget always compare prices. The days where AMD always is cheaper are over.
Also I think most people are best of buying a midrange CPU like a i5 or Ryzen 5 and putting the money saved towards the next Tier in GPU.

These are not mutually exclusive. An X3D Ryzen 5 model exists. I think it’s exclusive to a certain brick & mortar chain, but there are also a couple of X3D models in the Ryzen 5000 line that fit last generation’s socket AM4.

You just made me realise they released the 5700 and 5600 in X3D version, interesting!
My 5800X3D is a bitch to cool let me tell you that!
