Its faster 30 to 50% based on a game in 1080p. Keep in mind this contains ram as well, once you add ram to Intel, you saved maybe 130$, but you got a significantly slower cpu. Nothing touches 9800X3D from Intel

16 percent with a 4090
Not everyone just games and not everyone has a top of the line gpu lol

Intel is better fps per dollar

Ram kit I would use for the 265k
265k comes with better mobo as well(but no WiFi)
But Intel has no upgrade path. AMD will continue to support AM5 into the future.

This video shows the difference between the two. Mind you.. it depends on the game too. But especially the GPU. In all honesty, if your pairing this with an RTX 3060. You have your priorities wrong. And the difference between the two CPUs will be negligible. But I will say, having upgraded to a ryzen 7 5700X3D from a Ryzen 5 3600 with a messily RTX 3050 I experienced way better gaming in fps and texture quality regardless of the weak GPU, because the 3D v cache performs miracles even with low end GPUs

So…. It depends on the game and of course the GPU. But 3D v cache does some wild stuff and can even make an under performing GPU perform better than expected just because of the v cache. I experienced this on Beam NG drive despite having an rtx 3050, upgrading from a ryzen 3600 to the 5700X3D, shouldn't have made much a difference but it made a drastic huge difference. Graphics settings went from low / medium to high, and gained 30fps.
I was actually in a BeamMP server with 10-15 cars (the game basically is one car per thread, and E cores don't count) so once you go above 10 cars, the frames will plummet in the server. So you need at least an 8 core cpu. And one with 3D v cache performs above typical Ryzen 8 cores. But I was in a server with someone who had a 13th gen i5 and a rtx 4090 and I was getting better frames and picture quality, they were struggling to get 30fps and I was doing 80.
Moral of the story; it depends on the game, and sometimes the cpu can actually lift up the GPU because of the 3D v cache, and no matter how good your GPU is, the cpu could be holding it back.

This is such a goofy argument.

The 13600k is better than the 5800x3d by a decent margin.
Ofc the 5700x3d will be better in certain games but that doesn't mean it is somehow magically the better cpu lol.
The reason you noticed such a big difference is bc the 3600 is a very bad chip and more reliant on memory timings so I assume u had it paired with slow memory

Overall the 200s ultra intel is better since you get a better igpu and encoders and multitasking workload (microcenter bundle is better IMO)
1080p gaming the AMD 1440p ish ehhh its a toss up game use and this is all considering your not CPU bound and have a beefy gpu if not then its a mixed bag depending rez and settings.
Also a lot of people dont know 200s just got a bunch of updates from intel in the last month but no reviewers are updating testing.
And they just announced 2 days ago new chips coming and performance updates for current gen. ( who knows what that looks like tho)
For the $$$ Intel it a better buy and could pan out even better in the long run however it future isnt hear yet.
