Cpu is crappy
Cpu is excellent. But better for productivity than games. You'd be surprised to know that not everybody who buys a PC uses it exclusively for games. That said, a 270k+ would be marginally better.

AMD is crappy as it's only good for video games. Some of us use PCs for work and not nintendo games.
Well this is a GAMING PC so...???

Which one is better?

For gaming Ryzen 7 9800x3d is much better, for Productivity & Multitasking the Intel is better.
Amd is also $100 more expensive.

how many times has this been posted? they've had these 25+ in stock at multiple Microcenters since at least September 2025, and price has increased from 1999 then to 2399 now. you can snag an open box to save $200 or so, but it's still overpriced imo.

Every time the price increases by 100 bucks it will continue to get reposted because sadly it's still the best deal out there
