Why do more cores mean slower performance?

Solved by Crunchy Dragon,
Higher core count at slower speeds is better for rendering and other similar tasks.
Higher clock speed is better for gaming, but clock speed isn't everything.
People say Intel for gaming because their CPUs currently have the highest single-threaded performance, which usually dictates how well games will run. Ryzen is recommended for streaming because it's just better value; you get more cores for the price, but still good enough performance for gaming.
Although Intel isn't always better for gaming, as shown by this: https://www.techspot.com/review/1655-core-i7-8700k-vs-ryzen-7-2700x/
The performance difference isn't nearly as high as most people like to make it out to be.
