AMD Puts its Sights on Intel's i5-8400

AMD is taking a direct shot at Intel's i5-8400 ($200), putting it up against its own Ryzen 5 2600 CPU ($166). Both systems are using a GTX 1070, run at 1080p with Ultra settings. Frametimes are tight together but Intel gets clobbered when you move to a streaming situation and transcoding. If you are a serious streamer and are looking to do it all off one box, instead of having a dedicated streaming rig, the 2700X ($325) is the way to go...at least today. Intel's new 9000 series with 8C will likely bring that back into parity, but we do not know the 9000 series pricing yet. Game. Stream. Create. The AMD Ryzen 5 2600 processor games like the competition, but when you start streaming and encoding videos, the advantage is clear.
