Question Intel 10700K vs Ryzen Whatever

Good afternoon all. Looking to see if anyone has any input on this proc, with a z490 mobo and its ability vs something like a Ryzen 7600x? This specifically will be used for gaming. Will I see better performance or will it be negligible? Already on a Nvidia RTX 4070. TIA.

7600X is about 35% better in games.
But not sure if it'll matter for a RTX 4070.

That is also at 720p, so not a very realistic scenario for gaming for most people. The difference would be less at 1080p, or higher resolution. It is a strange comparison though: the latest generation AMD vs a 2 or 3 generation old intel model. That said, unless you could get a used one cheap, I dont know why anybody would go with the 10700k for a gaming build now.
 
Not a gaming build today. Im contemplating the upgrade if its actually worth it or not. My son plays ESports at college, and he has the 10700 that he has been running. Trying to see if providing him a better CPU/Mobo/Mem would be worth it in games or if its negligible. Esp with the 4070. Thanks all.

He's good, don't waste money upgrading now. If it has performance issues it'll likely be something simple like needing new thermal compound or a fresh OS install. A 10700k is very capable gaming CPU.
 
The 7600X is decently faster even at 1080p gaming than a 10700k, and it'd be a no brainer if you were talking about a new build. If he already has the 10700k though, I'm not sure it's worth the cost and hassle of a full platform upgrade.
If you were talking about moving to something like a 7800X3D, that would be a different story. It's more expensive but in the context of CPU+MB+RAM it's less of a % increase, and for things like Counterstrike the increase in FPS is massive.

Definitely not worth it today. OP can stay with the current system for one more year, upgrade next year. This means both new gen products from Intel or AMD will have time to launch this year, then stabilize in terms of firmware and pricing in the next 6-9 months. The OP will buy into mature platforms, at decent prices, and will probably get a very strong boost in performance for both games and apps.
 
I tend to agree, that what you have now sounds fine, and it is best to wait a bit, with new generations coming soon. I also agree that you shouldn't downgrade on core count, 8 core or better seems like the way going forward.
