Hi Everyone,
It's been a really long time but I'm back with some questions. I am looking to do a new build and I really don't know what to do CPU wise. For years AMD had been absent from the high-end CPU world, there really wasn't much reason to go with AMD when building a high end gaming computer. That all changed with Ryzen and AMD now has Intel on it's heels. Does one company really have an advantage at this point when comparing Alder Lake to Zen 3? Intel is supporting DDR5 and PCIE 5.0 with Alder Lake that isn't going to happen till next Gen with AMD. Intel is having that CPU Digital Rights Management problem which is causing some problems with games and I don't know if Intel is still taking a performance hit from the patches done to fix the spectre vulnerability. So for me it was always an easy choice of going with Intel for gaming but now I really don't know what to do.
