Nah you're the guy living in complete denial who refuses to acknowledge that any Intel chip is better than any AMD/Zen chip for any reason.
Zen 1 has never been better than *comparable* Intel chips at gaming. It wasn't at launch and it isn't now. Zen 1 was pretty crap for gaming. Yup, I said it. Zen 1 was pretty crap for gaming.
Which two... we only know that his existing CPU is a 7600k @ 5.2Ghz. No doubt you'll want to compare with an 8c/16t Zen or better.
As for being "call out on this nonsense"... you are the guy who swore blind that AMD would 100% release in September.
You called me an idiot several times for questioning this, because you were convinced September they would all drop. Said I couldn't read, lol, and posted some Tweet that said nothing of the sort.
You seem to be well versed in posting "nonsense" yourself. Better than me, in fact.
I literally showed you a review where HUB showed a 4.8GHZ Core i5 7600K not necessarily giving a 3.9GHZ Ryzen 5 1600 the thrashing you expect it would,and even Zen+ is the same core,but with some cache fixes.It actually ended up being generally a bit quicker overall,which is not what happened in 2017. In 3 of the titles,ie,BFV,SOTTR and the Division 2,the Core i5 had really poor minimums,ie,much more stutter. Sometimes it was as bad as nearly 15~20FPS lower minimums.
Compare that to a Core i7 7700K,and it doesn't have a problem in those same titles. The performance delta between a Core i5 7600K and Core i7 7700K has become enormous in a number of modern titles.
Its why I stopped recommending 4C Core i5 CPUs 5 years ago,and got most of my mates onto Core i7/Xeon E3 CPUs. Even Planetside 2,which used to be lightly threaded,got rejigged and seems to use more than 6 cores.
This means by extension something like Ryzen 5 2600X,Ryzen 5 3600/3600X,6C/12T Core i5 running at lower core clockspeeds is going to push ahead in many modern titles which use more than 4 threads,at least compared to an overclocked Core i5 7600K. So as much as he was being hyperbolic WRT to AMD,the 4C Core i5,is starting to hit limitations. Single core performance isn't the problem,as I doubt an overclocked Core i9 10900K is that much faster in single core performance than an overclocked Core i5 7600K. I would make the argument a 6C/12T is probably where it is ATM ,ie,a Ryzen 5 3600/3600X/3600XT or a Core i5 10400/Core i5 10600K. 8C/16T if you want to have some "future-proofing".
