Curious if anyone can give me a firm idea of how the lower end Ryzen 5 or the Ryzen 3 chips are sitting against Intel for mid level gaming and other consumer tasks, light streaming. Thanks!

If you're doing a lot of stuff at the sametime as gaming Zen is generally smoother.

But just gaming is where the 8th gen kills it.

Ryzen 5 1600 is better than the cheaper Ryzen 5s because the 1400 and 1500x just arent as good value as wont last as long (in terms of performance). It's also cheaper than it's 8th gen rivals and better at handling streaming. The only downside is pure gaming, in which 8th gen still wins by a small margin

Your question is far too vague

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

Depends on budget too. 8th gen Intel has expensive motherboards. Only reason I would buy intel is if I was just purely going to game at higher fps. With the exception of the 8700k which I would buy to last me a couple of generations. 

 

Light streaming and recording I would go with a r5 1600x. Heavy streaming I would consider a r7 1700. Gaming at 1080p I would pick up an r3 1300x (with upgradabilty in mind if I wanted to do more than gaming down the road). 144hz gaming I would pick up a i3

you can youtube "ryzen _____ + GTX _______" to see how a certain combination of cpu and gpu performs.

 

ex: "ryzen 5 1600 + gtx 1060" = https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=ryzen+5+1600+gtx+1060

 

"core i5 8400 + gtx 1060" = https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=core+i5+8400+gtx+1060
