I'm trying to decide between two CPUs for my gaming setup: the Intel Core Ultra 5 245kf, which I found for **$250 / 214 EUR**, and the Ryzen 5 9600x, priced at **$265 / 225 EUR**. My main concern is which CPU will perform better in gaming, especially since I'm planning to pair it with either an RX 9070 or an RTX 5070. The prices are a bit high, but I'm purchasing from a specific website.

Not only is the 9600X about 6% faster than the 245kf, but it also uses 30% less power, making it a cooler and quieter option.
I'd definitely go with the Ryzen 5 9600X. It’s generally better for gaming performance compared to the 245kf.
ok thanks
If you're considering future-proofing, the Ryzen 7 series might be worth checking out. The 9600X is faster overall, but the 7600X is also a solid option if you're debating between the two.
so you say 7600x is the same as 9600x? i really dont know if i need the newer series
Hands down, go with the 9600X. The 245kf is close in performance, but it costs more and consumes more power. For gaming, Zen5 definitely takes the lead.
The 9600X is just a better choice overall. The 245kf is good for multicore tasks, but for gaming, you'd want the 9600X.
thanksss
alright thank you
