JackCarverNice conclusion :D
In the most games Intel is clearly dominating AMD, read some Benchmarks at this stuff, and I don't think that will switch in the future, but let's see.



And here comes AMD:

MikeZTMQuick question: what's your ram latency in AIDA64 ram test? (you can do this in trail version)

Do you know that currently most games are RAM latency bounded? Intel's gaming advantage is mostly coming from better IMC that can run 4000+ rams ad have less than 40ns latency.

9900KS is not faster than 8086k in those games as less core = less latency for Intel.

MrAMDSee attached. Yes I've explained that to many AMD fanbois. Games are very latency dependent as well as raw clock speed (and IPC obviously). In my real world experience; I've seen 9900k always beat 8700k/8086k due to same IPC, clocking higher on average, more cores to help balance background programs. The very slight latency advantage 8086k has is real, but small. Ryzen has a much higher latency wall to fix and is a much better argument.

GlacierNineAMD's IF latency is much higher yes, but the latency inside a single core and a single CCX is actually slightly lower than Intel's ring bus. This being a 2700X, you can also expect that the 3000 series further improved on this.
