should i wait for upcoming intel cpu for gaming pc or go with 9th generation when they are on discount? i play mainly games only like battlefield series and metro series
If you like Battlefield, you will probably want to go with Ryzen 3000 series, they are already nicely discounted and they will be even more discounted, as the launch of 4000 series desktop Ryzen draws near later this year.should i wait for upcoming intel cpu for gaming pc or go with 9th generation when they are on discount? i play mainly games only like battlefield series and metro series
While what you say is ultimately true, it's also a bit out of context in this topic. I don't think it's sound advice to steer someone towards buying any current gen. Intel when building a new computer.Comet Lake-S won't offer much for gaming over CoffeeLake.
I don't see that. All I see is the 1600 at $101Yeah AMD smacking Intel around a good bit right down to the legendary cheap 1600af ,good luck competing with that one Intel. Not even a discounted 9400f is interesting to me, ok sorta if its a CSGO/LOL/BF4 build perhaps it would deliver the most fps there for sure but Newegg is smoking something quite good and not sharing it with its $159 price tag. I assume thats inflatation for lack of stock?

Thats what I see at $101Its in the model number but this one should be it. Looks to be inflated currently? Model number is YD1600BBAFBOX

Well let's face it, OP is only talking Intel. He never mentioned any of the other products coming out this year. On desktop, Intel has nothing for sure excerpt Comet Lake-S, which is probably going to be less than 3% improved for gaming over 9900KS/overclocked 9900K. Rumours of some quasi-desktop TigerLake part are still floating around, but they're just that: rumours. Rocket Lake-S isn't until next year, and Alder Lake-S isn't until late next year, assuming all goes well.
I completely disagree with you on recommending CFL or any current new Intel buys, but that's why it's beautiful (though sometimes also nervewrecking) that people are differentWell let's face it, OP is only talking Intel.

Rocket Lake-S isn't until next year, and Alder Lake-S isn't until late next year, assuming all goes well. The landscape for future Intel products is pretty bleak. I wouldn't expect any improvements to their gaming lineup until next year. And it's not clear how well Rocket Lake-S is really going to do if Intel suffers the inevitable reduction in core count vs. Comet Lake. It'll probably be some faster per clock, but we haven't seen clockspeeds yet, and games that are starting to use more cores may not like it either.
Unless people are just holding out for discounts that may never emerge, I can't really recommend any Intel product but CoffeeLake for gaming at this point.
Round and round we go on the rumor mill, i can be perfectly content if the 4000 series demolishes Intel at competitive prices. I was hoping for some sort of fight no matter how unlikely Comet is to compete. I doubt it will to be honest but i do love a good surprise.

I just meant nothing on a 300 series platform, that's it.Hey, keep your fingers crossed. Intel is basically signaling that they won't compete though.
Remember, the OP is asking about Intel products. What else would you have him buy? A 10900k for gaming? Realistically-speaking, they have nothing else coming until Rocket Lake-S. And there is a non-trivial chance of that getting cancelled if the market window for that product is too short. Comet Lake-S is already heavily delayed.

This is the problem. There is no good Intel solution, but thats what he asked about. So AMD suggestions are coming.What benefit would a gamer get from going LGA1200?

Worst case 3700x/mobo/ram upgrade for Cyberpunk2077 and be set 3 years end of this year?

If you want to stick with Team Blue, your next best bet is Alder Lake, whenever that actually shows up. I'm not too optimistic about anything else from them. A 3700x is already going down in price, and should get pretty cheap soon.
All i care about is maximum performance without having to go to extremes, i care about bang for buck in some cases too, so i would certainly pay 50% less for a cpu that is 20% slower then another one.
