You see a trend here? Its almost no performance hit....
So yes im fairly confident to say win10 gaming a intel will win....
Whatever floats your boat is cool with me... As you said performance per dollar is what it comes out to...
OK, then lets not forget how the i5-8400 got the award of being the best cpu in gaming.

And yes we are all not gamers, however a lot of us are.

In a majority of the help me build a new system threads, it states gamer.
So a lot of people looking though this forum section are gamers and overclockers as well.
So that dollar to performance average can go either way for either CPU and is not only dominated by Ryzen even AFTER patch.
Honestly i wont care if your a AMD / INTEL / ARM user. I try hard to keep a neutrality possition, infact i like playing for the underdog in many occasions to help keep things neutral.
However spreading false information is not something i will tolerate.
Everyone is going off about how this patch will kill performance on said machine.
Yes that is true, but will it outrank the current standards?
Possibly on one system it may on another it might not.
We dont fully know what the full extent of what these "performance hits" are yet people are trying to make it seem like Intel has hit dirt bottom and has become a useless piece of Silicon.
If you honestly feel that way, then fine, im not judging you, however blindy telling the masses this is better then that and this is better then that without knowing the exact purpose of said machine is flat out wrong.
If your that worried about this hijack, then ok, get an AMD if that will make you feel better, but dont even try to pass info that the said AMD system will be faster then a 8700K in gaming or single threaded apps.
Also most people get a 8700K to overclock... if not why bother with the K version to begin with, so when that 8700k is hitting 5ghz... and yes most of them are hitting 5ghz + on all 6 cores, that single threaded application that some of do happen use, the gap is still large even multi threaded apps and even after all the patchs.
Those of you guys who feel like you need to change your system to a Ryzen, im not criticizing you at all, seriously, im cool with that, however those of you guys forcing others to change to ryzen because of scare tatics, that i am not down with.
