AMD Ryzen 7 3700X vs Intel Core i7-9700K: Which is the Best Gaming CPU?edit
Intel’s Core i9-9900K may be the fastest CPU for gaming, but for most of us, it comes down to the Core i7-9700K or the Ryzen 7 3700X.

The former also has a higher cache size which helps make up for the latency drop induced by the Infinity Fabric.
