Overall, the Ryzen 9 3900X is the clear winner. Offering 90% of the gaming performance as the 9900K and being more than 50% faster in everything else, that’s not a hard conclusion. However, which chip you should opt for largely depends on your workloads. If you are building a gaming PC that will be mostly used for high frame-rate gaming, then the Core i9 is a no-brainer.

If millennials can take personal computing for granted today, it is because of 50 years of innovation that has gone into power-packing the central processing unit (CPU) chip. The power in each sleek machine today would have taken up an entire room of equipment a few decades ago. The invention of the transistor changed everything. While vacuum tubes would be several inches long, transistors were much, much smaller —they were just millimeters in size when they were initially built, enabling compact designs for the first time.
