Intel vs AMD Ryzen: Best CPUs for Gaming in 2020 [September Update] (PROACTIVE)edit
AMD’s Ryzen 7 3700X was hands down the best consumer processor of 2019, period. Hell, it might as well have been the best CPU of the decade. With a package power draw of just about 65W, it matches the Core i7-10700K (a 250W CPU) in non-gaming workloads while trailing the Core i5-10600K by around ~10% in gaming all the while costing much less. It just doesn’t get better than that!

Why Tiger Lake CPUs Are Important For Intel? Chance To Redeem The Glory?edit
Intel was once the undisputed leader of computer CPUs. However, it has changed over the last few years and AMD’s newly announced Zen 2 architecture-based Ryzen 4000 CPUs now offer better performance when compared to Intel’s counterpart. When AMD has completely moved to 7nm based CPUs, Intel is still stuck with 14nm fabrication for the high-performance CPUs that are found on laptops made for content creation and gaming.

The Asus TUF A15 comes in hard with its gaming style, latest AMD Ryzen processor, Nvidia graphics card, and RGB keyboard lighting. It’s a deal that is hard to ignore, especially with that price tag. So, what are we missing out on? The laptop is comfortable to use during long work sessions—it doesn’t heat up. This all changes when you start gaming. It gets very loud and, at the same time, starts throwing out a lot of hot air. I found the heat too much to comfortably use the laptop on my lap while gaming.

Xiaomi Mi Notebook 14 Review: This Proves Affordable Windows 10 Laptops Need Not Be A Compromiseedit

When you get Intel 10th-gen Ice Lake processor running the show from behind the curtain, along with ample 8GB RAM or more, the performance, for the most part, stays well-tuned, powerful and as smooth as it can be.
