Intel Challenges AMD to Beat it in "Real World Gaming"
AMD is on the verge of launching its 3rd generation Ryzen "Matisse" processors that are widely expected to take the performance crown from Intel. At its Computex 2019 reveal, AMD CEO Dr Lisa Su claimed that these processors beat the competition in all areas, including gaming. Motherboard manufacturers threw their weight behind AMD by pulling out their most premium brands for the AMD "Valhalla" desktop platform that consists of these processors, mated with an AMD X570 chipset motherboard. Ahead of its E3 2019 keynote Monday afternoon, Intel has come out with a challenge. Chipzilla dares AMD to beat it in "real-world gaming."
At its "gaming performance for the real world" address in Los Angeles Jon Carvill, VP of marketing, challenged AMD to beat it in real world gaming with its upcoming processors. "So you're going to hear a lot about gaming CPUs this week," he began. "They may or may not come from certain three letter acronyms. That said, here's what I want to challenge you. I want to challenge you to challenge them. If they want this crown come beat us in in real world gaming, real world gaming should be the defining criteria that we use to assess the world's best gaming CPU. I challenge you to challenge anyone that wants to compete for this crown to come meet us in real world gaming. That's the measure that we're going to stand by."
AMD's latest stab at Intel is the "Zen 2" microarchitecture at the heart of the new Ryzen 9 3900X 12-core/24-thread processor, leading a gaming-focused processor lineup that also includes the Ryzen 7 8-core/16-thread, and Ryzen 5 3600X 6-core/12-thread. These processors feature a 10% increase in clock-speeds, and a whopping 15 percent increase in IPC over the current "Zen+" The processors, when combined with motherboards based on the AMD X570 chipset, also put out a total of 40 PCI-Express gen 4.0 lanes. Unlike previous generations, much of AMD's engineering effort has been focused on shoring up gaming performance. The company is explicitly marketing these processors as "Gaming CPUs." The processors launch on the 7th of July.

Stay classy, Intel! :rolleyes:
Funny, back in 2006, amd wanted to overshadow intel's conroe by buying ati. This time Intel is doing the same in a different way.
That was the worst mistake amd ever did to some extent, amd bought ati for 6 billion and few years later amd itself was worth less than that hehe
"On July 24, 2006, a joint announcement revealed that Advanced Micro Devices would acquire ATI in a deal valued at $5.6 billion.[8] The acquisition consideration closed on October 25, 2006,[9] and included over $2 billion financed from a loan and 56 million shares of AMD stock.[10] ATI's operations became part of the AMD Graphics Product Group (GPG),[11] and ATI's CEO Dave Orton became the Executive Vice President of Visual and Media Businesses at AMD until his resignation in 2007.[12] The top-level management was reorganized with the Senior Vice President and General Manager, and the Senior Vice President and General Manager of Consumer Electronics Group, both of whom would report to the CEO of AMD.[13] On 30 August 2010, John Trikola announced that AMD would retire the ATI brand for its graphics chipsets in favor of the AMD name.[14] "

At that time nvidia ceo was afraid of intel, few years later we see that was a failed assumption intel would compete x the gpu market and amd was thinking about their amazing fusion gpu hehe which came as an apu that we know today. Anyway, mistake or not, amd survived somehow because of the gpu market, some mistakes come to be good or maybe if amd had not done that then it could have used the money to build a worthy cpu successor of their fx line. Leading a company when all the cows are fat is easy, i want to see leading a company when the cows are starving hehe, lisa has my respect.
Build both PC's for the same budget (within say $40 difference between intel system and AMD system).
who wins Then...................
This game, set with no FPS limit, can still overheat most of today's CPUs and GPUs.
Has to be high FPS and game specific.
LS: "So, there was a bit of talk about our Ryzen 3000 series gaming performance -
hold my beer,sorry, I mean't to say, Robert, I think you have some game demos for us? ...".Seriously, get your $#!t together before talking smack like that.
I'm glad they caught up, but at a high level, I dont see bringing more cores to a market which doesnt needed it, innovation. I call it moving the goal posts and watching the unadorned and ill advised get giddy. ;)No.
Read the steam stats. A full 78% are using 720p and 1080p. 4.6% is on 2560x1440.
