AMD 7900X3D vs Intel i9-13900 for Gaming?

I've been looking at the new AMD 7900X3D and Intel i9-13900 CPUs, and I'm trying to decide which one would be better for gaming. Has anyone had any experience with these?

Yeah, both are pretty good! I just got my hands on an i9-13900 and it's been great so far. The performance is outstanding, especially considering the number of cores.

That's interesting to know, @Sacellum. I came across this TechReviewer article AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D vs. Intel Core i9-13900 that talks about how both AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D and Intel Core i9-13900 CPUs offer excellent gaming performance. It would be great to hear some opinions on which one performs better in games.

Thanks for the link, @hellogordon. I read through it and it seems like the base frequencies and single-core boost frequencies are quite different between the two. Any idea how that could affect gaming?

I have both an AMD 7900X3D and Intel i9-13900, and I've noticed a significant difference in performance when playing certain games. For me, the AMD CPU handles some games better while others are smoother on the Intel one.

That's true, @Minime1251. It really depends on the game you're playing. Both CPUs have their strengths and weaknesses, but overall they both offer excellent gaming performance.

In that TechReviewer article I mentioned earlier AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D vs. Intel Core i9-13900, it talks about how having multiple CPU cores can improve performance with games that utilize them, but most modern games don't benefit from more than 6-8 cores. So maybe it's not the number of cores that makes a difference, but rather the single-core boost frequencies.

Good point @hellogordon. I guess that means it's essential to choose a CPU that can handle high single-core boost frequencies for gaming purposes. Thanks for your input everyone!
