Intel Readies Core i9-10850K 10-core/20-thread Processor

AMD's entire Zen 2 lineup is slower than 8700k in gaming that was released in 2017...
And calm down on the fanboying. The actual power consumption is about the same during gaming. Nobody is buying these CPUs to play Prime95 and Cinebench.

Skylake nets you way more FPS at similar power. Skylake is actually more power efficient during gaming.

Objectively, this is a very limited perspective. It is unreasonable to say that you will buy a rig with a top end CPU and GPU to game at 1080p. It is true that Intel still have an edge in games, but that gap is fast getting closed. Also, I doubt the Skylake chip is more efficient when gaming at higher resolution. To achieve that kind of performance, the old Skylake architecture will need to run at very high a clockspeed. In my opinion, I went for a Ryzen because I would prefer a more all rounded PC, instead of gaming focused. I am happy to lose some FPS, but I know when I am encoding/ decoding videos, it is a superior option.
 
Someone can't take criticism so launches a personal attack casting aspersions on my ability to read.
The chart posted shows 201MHz difference, which I pointed out.

and yet you fail to see that the max boost is 100mhz (5.2 vs 5.3ghz) different.... grow up.
