Intel I5 9400F VS AMD Ryzen 2600X - $200 shootout! -- LGH

**AMD vs Intel: $200 Price Point Showdown**

We put two different processors from AMD and Intel to the test in Cinebench, a popular benchmarking tool for CPUs. We're running the CPU benchmark on both systems and comparing their scores.

So, let's get started with the Intel i5 90th Gen processor. Here are the results:

Cinebench Score: 22,273 points

Now, let's move on to the AMD Ryzen 5000 series X processor. We have two different models of this processor, but they're both using the same RX 580 graphics card and 16GB of RAM.

AMD Ryzen 5000 Series X Processor ( RX 580 Graphics Card )

Cinebench Score: 29,07 points

Note that we have a full win here on the AMD side. The Intel i5 90th Gen processor scored around 22,000 points in Cinebench, while the AMD Ryzen 5000 series X processor scored over 29,000 points.

As you can see, AMD is currently taking the lead in terms of score. However, we must consider other factors such as price point and performance per dollar.

When it comes to the $200 price point, AMD's Ryzen 5000 series X processor has a significant advantage over Intel's i5 90th Gen processor.

**Motherboard Comparison**

We also want to note that both systems have the same motherboard, Gigabyte RX 580, but with different chipset versions. This is an interesting aspect to consider when comparing these two processors.

As an AMD fan, I've been following their progress for a long time, and I'm happy to say that they're still delivering strong performance at this price point.

While Intel's i5 90th Gen processor has its strengths, it just can't compete with the Ryzen 5000 series X in terms of score. But hey, there's no denying that Intel's processors are still great performers too - we just didn't see a significant difference here.

**Temperature Comparison**

One thing that was noticeable during our testing was the temperature difference between these two processors. The Intel i5 90th Gen processor was running at around 50-55 degrees Celsius, while the AMD Ryzen 5000 series X processor was only reaching temperatures of around 40-42 degrees Celsius.

So, is AMD's processor really running hotter? Well, it depends on who you ask - but one thing's for sure: Intel's processors can get pretty hot too. This just goes to show that temperature isn't always the best indicator of performance.

**Conclusion**

In conclusion, our test results show that AMD's Ryzen 5000 series X processor has a significant advantage over Intel's i5 90th Gen processor in terms of score. And when it comes down to it, if you're looking for a strong performer at this price point, AMD is the way to go.

But hey, don't get us wrong - Intel's processors are still great performers too. It just goes to show that competition between these two big players drives innovation and improves performance for everyone in the end.
