I see people constantly recommend the 7700X/7800X3D if you’re primarily gaming and an Intel chip if you’re doing both gaming and productivity tasks. Even I make that recommendation based on the benchmarks I’ve seen.
That got me thinking though. Are there any reasons to get an Intel chip if your primary use case is gaming? I’m not trying to dig at Intel, I genuinely want to know if there’s anything I’ve overlooked about Intel chips regarding their gaming performance and factors around them. Maybe more future proof thanks to the extra cores for when games inevitably start using more cores.
If your just gaming without care to maxing everything out, both chipsets are perfectly fine. People recommend 3D CPUs for more fps in games, but you need to pair it with an enthusiast grade GPU if you really want max fps. It’s all silly and realistically unnecessary, you can game with any i5 or R5 CPU and equally budget GPUs.
