The insanity that after 3 generations. Windows kernel still can't priorotise P-E core usage in games and background desktops. parking them still gives them better results. AMD cache was kinda acceptable on 7950x3d vs 7800x3d debait because games cant utilise that much cores anyway.
And its that all that bios and mobo hoops you have to go through to be compatible for 2 titles.
Intel mostly abandoned ship on any gaming competitiveness. The clock speeds and high tgp is at least has its use in workloads
These takes are insane. Like what kind of thermal paste are you eating?
Zen 4 vs 13th/14th gen, Intel wins in gaming. It's only Zen 4 x3D that edges Intel out, and only by a few percent at 720p and 1080p. Saying they abandoned gaming competitiveness is not even remotely true.

*By a few percent while sipping 100W less power.
Funny how this matters more in CPUs than GPUs
GPUs have their own cooler to compenstate for pricing msrp. And AMD this generation offers much better pricing and performance (rander) with a 50 watts power delta.Intel just has worse performance and worse thermal performance. Also GPUs usually idle and throttle close to 80 degrees.while cpus get very hot spots.
GPU's are piss easy to cool, the giant bare dies make it so much easier to extract heat from when compared to CPUs which have relatively tiny dies with awful thermal paste transferring the heat to a stupid heat spreader, which finally makes it into the cooler.
