I like how Intel removed iGPU to lower the price, it is useless for most people and the CPU is 20% more affordable. I wish they did it sooner when I bought their CPU. But I thought 8400/9400F was much faster than 2600X in games, turns out they're pretty much the same. Since AMD has a quieter cooler and it's better in tasks other than gaming, has overclocking and has an upgradable, more future proof platform I'd say AMD is the winner here.
They paired the Ryzen chip with 3400 CL14 Ram that costs 220€ at least here in Europe. Hardware Unboxed being AMD biased as usual. If you drop that ram to 3000, wich most people will buy as it costs 100-120€, you will automatically loose 10% to 20% performance, specially on the 1% lows.
Biased, that´s all I can say.
