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.
Yes.
They handle specific scenarios better, usually handling open world games, where resource packs saturate memory
If you look up “AMDip” you’ll see the results of that
It also overclocks higher if you’re into dabbling and investing into that
Their software tends to be more refined and mature and integrated on launch as well, so if we’re talking the very newest hardware, expect Intel to work bette - less emergency updates, less bios fixes, etc for the first ~2 years or so
That’s my experience with them both so far
