AMD’s Dominance Continues in Desktop Gaming
Desktop gaming has set a new bar with Ryzen 7 9800X3D, outpacing Intel‘s Core Ultra 9 285K.
Intel’s displeasing Core Ultra 9 has disappointed gamers with performing fewer than the older models, for example, Core i9-14900K.
AMD holds on to its lead while Intel promises performance patches.
