Ok, very simple one here. We don't need to go in to technicalities.
The debate is, is the Ryzen 5000 series the top gaming cpu series currently?

The big power consumption difference doesn't bother you?Gaming? Either would be my answer if the 11900K wasn't massively overpriced.
Ok thanks. I knew this was the case.
But the issue is my friend keeps telling me it's not what he sees in the comparison videos he finds on YouTube. Like this one....
For the majority of people gaming with a high end GPU above 1080p in GPU bound situations then it doesn't really matter as both will perform the same.
Is ryzen 5000 better? Yes
Is it noticeably better? not really.

The power consumption makes it a no brainer really, BFV is the worst example: 170 to 110 for the same fpsOk thanks. I knew this was the case.

Tbf though if your buying a CPU then you should probably watch more than one video before making the choice else you only really have yourself to blame.
There is no difference betwen Intel 11th gen and AMD's Ryzen 5000 series, if you're running at a modern 4K, as the best GPU's are still GPU limited.
If you're an old fart stuck in the last decade on 1080P, 1440P, then CPU does matter, though Intel with the 11900k win in some titles, 5950x wins in others.
If he's willing to pay £500 for CPU, it should have performance reserve and future proof core count.I know I know. It wasn't for me but for a non technical mate.
He likes to argue a lot.
