It’s a flagship showdown! Intel and AMD both have ridiculously expensive desktop CPUs to offer, but which is better? In the Blue corner, we’ve got the Core i9-10980XE, a creative powerhouse built on Intel’s 14nm architecture. In the Red corner, it’s the Threadripper 3970X, a monster of a chip with 32 cores and AMD’s 7nm FinFET process. Zen 2 microarchitecture makes the AMD chip more advanced in some areas, but Intel’s chip has its own benefits too.
