Intel says buy a 9900KS.

https://www.pcworld.com/article/3401083/intel-challenges-amds-ryzen-3000-cpus-to-take-the-core-i9-9900ks-real-world-gaming-crown.html

The Radeon 5700 series looks pretty decent based on what's been shown off. Looks like they aren't to focused on ray tracing just yet though.

Intel can say whatever it wants. lol

The i9 9900ks with only 8 CPU cores is not as tasty as AMD's 3950X with 16 CPU cores, next-gen should have 16 CPU threads to play with all told (Minus some for OS/background duties of course), so I expect games to start shining on larger core counts next gen.

Plus 8-cores really feels like mid-range stuff these days.

The RX 5700 XT seems to be a step away from what the consoles are getting, it seems closer to GCN than RDNA, hence why the consoles will have hardware Ray Tracing and Navi does not.

Figured you might get a laugh out of that. Oh Intel. 12 core Ryzen was impressive in the E3 streaming comparison.

The old AMD GPU arch slides may have been more forward and forthcoming than we thought?

If next gen consoles are on 7nm and not 7nm+, that may explain them being called Navi variants. 7nm Navi with some "Next Gen" ray tracing baked in?
