Hey, I have now the i7 4790k that is considered a beast even now but, I am giving this pc to my little brother and buying a new one and I don’t wanna buy a new pc that its cpu will be weaker.
What are the equivalent for i7 4790k or stronger than i7 4790k (for intel and AMD)?
Thanks :)

No less than a 9700k or 9900k. 8600k/9600k would end up being more of a side grade.

2700x would be an improvement but minimum fps would probably remain similar to your 4790k albeit 2700x fps minimums would be more stable due to more cores/threads in games today with the processor not working as hard.

Zen2 is out soon, wait for reviews and see how it stacks vs 9900k.
