Question: is amd catching up with intel?
Answer: So no, AMD has not 'caught up' to Intel. AMD makes good budget processors. ... The chip tested there seems to be a Ryzen 5 model (i.e. 8 cores with AMD's equivalent to hyperthreading giving 16 effective cores) and was around 1% faster than an Intel i9–9900, while using only 50% of the power.
