Ryzen vs Intel

I have been using Intel for almost a decade now and want to try out Ryzen. Will it be beneficial to migrate from Intel to Ryzen?
I mostly use it for gaming and online streaming.

Use that money and buy a better GPU and monitor
If you already have a RTX 4090, save up money for the RTX 5090
If you still have too much money to spend, upgrade to the Ryzen 7950X3D
It would be better if you would type your current specs, budget and what you want to achieve exactly.
"Gaming" is both Minecraft, Age of Empires and Cyberpunk. 1080p and 4K.
As a home desktop or virtual/dedicated server?
The differences between Ryzen and Intel CPU the same as between Pepsi and Coca Cola. Whichever one you like better.
Ryzen FTW
Thanks for your suggestion
I prefer Coca Cola, so which one would be best for it?
Dedicated server
Looking for around $100 per month
I'm not much of a gamer and when I play then usually with stone-age games like C&C RA and Generals but I guess that for modern very graphics-intense games the rule is: the morer the betterer (incl. graphics cards).
For "normal" servers though including I guess 90% if not 95% of all sites my view is this: Both are more than good enough, you can do an awful lot of stuff on say 16 cores and sufficient memory. "Ryzen vs Epyc, which one to chose?" or "is a Xeon E5 v4 really good enough or should I go for the latest processor model?" are questions that IMO frankly are way oversized for 90% if not 95% of servers run by one or a few individuals. The a.m. questions are relevant for professional use cases that is cases where "15% more performance that is actually and really needed for 'only' 1k or 2k dollars more" is a way of thinking that makes sense.
For nearly all more or less private projects what one should be thinking about hard is this: What am I looking for, what shall be my guide, desire or real need?
With a VPS the difference between the two boils down to (a) a few dollars, and (b) per month, so it's probably not really a problem to give in to one's desire (as opposed to real need) but with dedis the difference likely is in the hundreds of dollar per year range.
I do happen to have experienced the full range from cheap toys ( $1 or even less) up to Ryzen dedis ( well above $100 per month) and pretty much everything in between, and I did run websites similar to or with even more traffic/visitors than LET as well as small hobby sites with way less than 1000 visits per day and I found that usually the choice of OS and software is what makes a site "fly" or "crawl" way more than this or that processor. The second most influential - and often ignored or not properly weighed - factor is memory. The third ranked factor is disk and only the fourth factor is e.g. "Epyc or Xeon v2|3|4?"
And btw always specify your need properly (as opposed to vaguely hand waiving) to get good advice for your specific situation! Quite a few people here (incl. myself) tend to click away when a vague question is detected.
It's definitely not. Perhaps you're not aware Intel has been shitting the bed the last 10+ years, especially with 13th and 14th generations of chips. Something silly like 200 stepping fixes to fix hardware issues. That's hot garbage of instabilities.
AMD also has issues, but nothing in comparison of fuckup.
More like diet Pepsi and Red Bull
It depends on the line of processors.
The inconsistancy to say Ryzen vs Intel CPU. also maybe highlights how mindshare differ between the two
but look theres quite a range between zen 1 to zen 5 and intel 4004 to Arrow Lake....
so what are you even asking? comparing two generations (or better specific cpu models) would get you useful answers.
More specifically is Ryzen 7 better than Intel i7 for gaming? - Obviously apart from the graphics card.
Ryzen is best IMHO, much affordable compare to Intel.
You still didn't mention any generation. However as long as you get a X3D Ryzen any will do and put Intel into their place.
Not to mention Intel will suck way more juice (power) than Ryzen.
