Thanks - and wow! I had heard that they are good, but not this good. Since price per performance is pretty much what I always look at then AMD looks like a clear winner.
Some time ago I had just had a discussion on CPU choice with a friend and I think he went with Intel (citing something vague about "less problems"), and unfortunately I didn't look anything up then. It is sad in how little the general public knows about what is the best choice at any given moment and how long it takes for this knowledge to spread.
Only slightly, like 5% between the 3900x and 9900k. And if you're not gaming with a 2080ti you're likely to not even notice the difference between a similarly priced Intel/AMD chips. If you do anything else other than gaming though the Ryzen chips blow Intel out of the water.
But are they really better? I.e if the CPU can have any cost then maybe, but if looking at any performance level where both AMD and Intel are present, then AMD is always cheaper?
