AMD's current Ryzen 5000 processors beat Intel's lineup, offering more cores, threads and cache for less money. Plus, Ryzen 5000 CPUs run cooler and more efficiently versus Intel's 14nm desktop chips. AMD has certainly regained the performance crown with their Ryzen 5000 series. However, Intel still leads for those prioritizing single-core speed. With new architectures coming, expect the AMD vs Intel battle to heat up further. But for now, AMD reigns supreme in terms of multi-threaded performance, process technology and overall value.
