UserBenchmark suggests you buy the i5-13600K over the Ryzen 7 9800X3D — says AMD drives sales with 'aggressive marketing' rather than 'real-world performance'

Summary

Nutrition label

70% Informative

AMD 's AMD 's Ryzen 7 9800X3D has dethroned Intel 's fastest gaming CPU , the i9-14900K, by almost 33% per our testing.

UserBenchmark asserts that the X3D design results in a 6% deduction in clock speeds but fails to address AMD 's redesign of the stacking hierarchy, which helps reduce the impact of this clock speed deficit, even in single-core scenarios.

The site then suggests users choose the i5-13600K/14600 K since spending more than $200 on gaming CPUs is "pointless".
