I don't see how you can say this. From the actual specs of the chips, they both look about equivalent with Intel stock speeds being higher but AMD having more cores. Overclocking clearly puts Intel in the lead over AMD with the 6700k at 4.5ghz being very common versus 1600x only going up to 4ghz.I'm going to scream.
RYZEN. IS. BETTER.
Ugh...
Almost all of the benchmarking websites place them about equal. Until you can prove me wrong and give me definitive evidence that AMD's 1600x is better than the 6700k, I'm going to call you out on this bullshit and claim it as delusional fanboyism instead.
I'm not going to argue that if you are doing multi-cpu heavy things like rendering images (read streaming) that the 1600x is better, but for a focus on gaming, Intel clearly seems to either be on par, or wins this competition.
My tip to the OP is go for whichever setup lets you spend the least money. Nowadays an SSD and 16 GB of ram is more important than the debate between chips.
