Honestly you won't notice a difference.

It's also unwise to become a dedicated fanboy. Once upon a time AMD was the trash budget option and Intel reigned supreme. The fanboys were created on either side of the line

Today boh companies make great chips and between these two specific CPUs you won't notice a difference. Factor in other things instead:

Is your GPU AMD and you want to use SAM?
Is there a price disparity on their respective motherboards?
Is the a motherboard you love the aesthetic of?
Is small form factor important? (I believe those ryzen are still king for thermal efficiency)

And most importantly:
Can I find a great deal?

OP if you youtube those processors you'll find some easily digestible videos that have direct benchmarks between the two. they trade blows depending on what you're doing. I would go with Intel probably, it's ~20w more efficient and has the performance I would want when comparing the two, you can enlighten us a bit by telling us exactly what games you plan on playing right now, but really if you compare those two in a google search you should find a lot of resources with direct comparisons.

as for this reply I tend to find myself thinking that you work in superlatives too much in how you reply to these poor innocent souls :)

OP could notice a difference, I find that you tend to refer to ~10% performance differences as negligible when you should not, especially when the answer sometimes is referring to one component of a system, those 10%s add up to what we consider high-performance. the language is so "forgiving" that it's kind of inaccurate. and this part is certainly 1000% nitpicky but AMD being a trash budget option is sort of a weird assessment where absolutely every bit of relevant nuance in that is lost on OP. during the period where they had lower price:performance than Intel you wouldn't necessarily call that budget friendly.. they did have CPUs that weren't competitive for gaming and used more power.. this sounds like what a fanboy would say! /s

I don't think there's anything here that makes that dedicated fanboy line relevant :D but that's just me being a :banana:

a deal is summarized by the price compared to the performance you get right? so your final statement is asking him to determine the price, and then determine the performance for his answer.. well he has the prices presumably and now he's asking us for the performance... to which you told him there's not really a difference.
