Overview
When I started to build a PC for myself, one thing popped in my head. AMD vs Intel Processors.
And I know whoever starts building their own PC, this is a very obvious thing to worry upon! What to choose or who’s the best or something like is Intel losing and falling behind?
But, there are certain features or specs that make both the processors unique. Most likely, you will get to know about them here!
AMD Ryzen 3 vs Intel Core i3

Both Ryzen 3 3300X and the Intel i3 10100 have 4 cores and 8 threads inside them. The features do not vary much and remain on a similar level.
However, Ryzen 3 3300X has a much greater cache size than Intel i3 10100 which is enough to make a difference at low budget CPU benchmark tests.

Ryzen 5 vs i5: what to choose?
This entirely depends on your budget and requirements!
If you want just to play games, Intel i5 10600 is the go-to option currently in 2021.
If you are involved in gaming and heavy CPU requirements, Ryzen 5 is the best option.
Tell me what you think in comments as this is highly subjective. I want to know your opinions.
AMD RYZEN 5 3600X VS INTEL CORE i5 10600k
The Intel i5 10600k offers a very high clock speed making it a better option for pushing game settings as much as possible.
Also, this makes i5 handle relatively heavy tasks, edit high-quality videos and whatnot.
But, the place where i5 falls back of Ryzen 5 is its smaller cache size. This can hinder the performance for heavy multitasking and 4K video editing.
On the other hand, Ryzen 5, with increased cache size, delivers a much better overall performance. Increased cache makes 3600X better choice for multitasking and heavy-duty tasks.
