I just noticed that the I9 9900k on Newegg.ca is on sale and slightly less than the Ryzen 9 3900x. I was pretty much sold on the 3900x but from all my reading the I9 performs better in single core performance which from my understanding is important in gaming and the I9 is $115 off. Since this will be a gaming pc only, does it make sense to take advantage of this and get the i9? Or does it make more sense to go AMD anyway since it may be more upgradeable down the road?
My concerns are mostly with developers developing for Intel and leaving their games poorly optimized for AMD.
Thank you.
