AMD Takes Gaming CPU Crown With Ryzen 7000X3D, But Intel Still Competitive for Mid-Range

  • AMD's high-end CPUs with 3D V-Cache like Ryzen 7000X3D provide the best gaming performance, beating Intel.

  • For mid-range gaming CPUs, AMD Ryzen 5000 and Intel 12th/13th gen are closely matched, with no clear winner.

  • AMD integrated graphics are far superior to Intel's, so AMD is better for budget gaming PCs without a discrete GPU.

  • Intel CPUs are generally better for productivity and content creation due to higher core counts.

  • AMD's AM5 platform supports future upgradability, while Intel sockets change more frequently.
