Are their any differences between AMD or Intel CPU offerings when it comes to gaming?

They are equal clock for clock. However lets not forget Intel can boost/overclock higher. I typically recommend Intel if the budget is high end at 1080p resolution only, at 144hz refresh rate or higher. Then recommend third gen Ryzen for basically everything else.They Ryzen 3000 series and Intel 9th Gen are basically equal at 1080p with a 2080Ti, with the 9th Gen being up ~5% faster. Obviously with lower end GPUs or higher resolutions the difference will be lower.
I agree that's why I said only high end.Also depends on level of gaming build. At i5 budget or below I would always pick AMD. At i7/i9 in setups aimed at the best FPS sacrificing resolution/game settings then i7/i9 wins otherwise again AMD.
At equal clock speeds the Ryzen is faster, however, stock clock vs stock clock they are equal.They are equal clock for clock. However lets not forget Intel can boost/overclock higher.

Not when intel can boost to 5ghz or higher.At equal clock speeds the Ryzen is faster, however, stock clock vs stock clock they are equal.

If this is purely for gaming and you want the very best experience at a high refresh rate then Intel still just holds the lead with the 9700K and the 9900K. the 9900K can boost to 5GHz and with a bit of overclocking both will hit 5GHz across all cores. Matched to a good GPU they will drive about as good as it gets FPS.
Ryzen has come a long, long way and yes across multiple different workloads especially pro workloads they come into there own and provide serious competition both in terms of price and performance. Ultimately it is very hard to make a bad choice these days for the top end mainstream CPU's on either side. Intel's platform has a lot of stability as it has been going for quiet a while so no issues on RAM etc and Ryzen as fairly new still can be a bit finicky but they have more than done a great job...
Bottom line if only gaming then Intel still is a great choice. These are just my own thoughts.

What is your budget and country you live in?I’m planning on high end gaming/general use system.

What is your budget and country you live in?
Do you have any current equipment that you plan to use?
That is, do already have any of the following?
- keyboard
- mouse
- monitor
- case
- PSU
- etc etc

The 5700/XT are good cards. The 5700 is about 10% faster than the 2060 at the same price and the 5700XT is about 10% faster than the 2060 Super or 2070 at the same price. The Ryzen 5 2600 is basically the best budget CPU you can get. You get a 6c/12t CPU that can be overclocked if you want, and a platform that can let you go to a Ryzen 3900X with a BIOS update.Cool. Is the RX 5700 a good card also does it have any bottlenecking issues with a Ryzen 5 just like a Intel I5?

Intel is typically better for gaming but only by a tiny bit. If i were you, I would use intel.Are their any differences between AMD or Intel CPU offerings when it comes to gaming?
