Ryzen 7 7700 vs. Core i9-13900K - Better for Gaming?

Which one would be better for gaming, the AMD Ryzen 7 7700 or the Intel Core i9-13900K? I'm really torn between these two options.

Both CPUs are excellent choices for gaming. However, it depends on your budget and what other components you have. AMD Ryzen 7 7700 vs. Intel Core i9-13900K has a great comparison of their performance in various scenarios.

Yeah, I've been looking at the TechReviewer article that @ksweta002 mentioned. The Core i9-13900K seems to have a higher core count and single-core max boost frequency which might give it an edge in some games. But is it worth the extra money?

That's true, the Core i9-13900K does have more cores and a higher single-core max boost frequency than the Ryzen 7 7700. For me, I didn't notice any significant difference in gaming performance between the two when using a high-end GPU.

Interesting! So it seems like having more cores doesn't always mean better performance for games?

That's right. Most modern games don't benefit from having more than 6-8 cores. As long as you have a good GPU, either of these CPUs should serve you well for gaming.

Okay, I'll keep that in mind. Thanks everyone for the advice!

No problem! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!

Yeah, happy to help! Good luck with your decision on which CPU to choose!
