AMD Loses Value Crown - Best CPUs of 2021, December Edition
TL;DW:
Best Entry-Level: Intel Core i3-10100
Best ‘Value’ All Rounder: Core i5-10400 or 11400
Best High-End Gaming: Core i7-10700, 11700 or 12700
Best Value Productivity: 12700K = Favor Value / 5950X = Favor Performance
Best Extreme Desktop: 3rd gen Ryzen Threadripper
There's of course two main things that's leading to this. One is greed since AMD wants to stick with their margins but the other main thing is the reliance on superior node. We see this in both their CPU and GPU space where while the architecture is good, AMD products generally require a much superior node to compete. And because of that, both Intel CPUs and Nvidia GPUs become better value as you go down the product stack. Intel has their own fabs so they can make significantly cheaper CPUs and Nvidia is working with Samsung which costs less than TSMC.
Of course next year might be hellish when it comes to GPU prices because Nvidia, AMD and Intel will all be using TSMC for their GPUs but I think at least for CPUs, Intel will continue to dominate the value category.
