So for certain games they are better, and they are within a couple percent on single threaded FPS in games that lean that way. (Current pricing 189/ 199/ 205)

The i5 9600k is $207.00 on Amazon. No cooler included though, unlike the Ryzen.Ryzen is definitely the trending cpu right now, they've done a great of ob catching up. I looked at the CPUBenchmark and Tom's Hardware comparisons between the two cards and just don't see enough to move me off of Intel just yet. I'm one of those "stick with it if it's always worked for you" guys.

I'm going to give it a couple more years for performance data to accumulate on the Ryzen units. However, with Intel moving away from focusing solely on cpu and into building gpu I'm going to have to be more open to change going forward.

It's going to be interesting when the Intel GPUs hit the market, especially with the former AMD GPU engineering lead Raja Koduri now being one of the leads on Intel's GPU team.
