When AMD came out with the Ryzen CPU, Intel still had a performance per core advantage, and decent PPW compared to Ryzen.
In gaming, maybe. In most workloads Ryzen was beating Intel. Shit, their $300-500 8 core models were matching or beating Intel’s $1,700 10 core.
Comparing 8 core to 8 core, the 1700X/1800X were faster than the 6900K, and used a lot less power. The 1700 was a bit slower but used a huge amount less power.
