Objectively, this is a very limited perspective. It is unreasonable to say that you will buy a rig with a top end CPU and GPU to game at 1080p. It is true that Intel still have an edge in games, but that gap is fast getting closed. Also, I doubt the Skylake chip is more efficient when gaming at higher resolution. To achieve that kind of performance, the old Skylake architecture will need to run at very high a clockspeed. In my opinion, I went for a Ryzen because I would prefer a more all rounded PC, instead of gaming focused. I am happy to lose some FPS, but I know when I am encoding/ decoding videos, it is a superior option.

and yet you fail to see that the max boost is 100mhz (5.2 vs 5.3ghz) different.... grow up.
