I've been researching a new build based around dx12. Mostly looking at high-end AMD processors vs comparably priced Intel. I found this article and the results seem to be rather interesting. AMD on dx12 seems to be getting up there.
I'm not in one camp or the other when it comes to processors, although I have had Intel for the past 7 years. After reading this, I'm not sure I would dismiss AMD for basic gaming. My biggest concerns would be power draw. The rated power on the AMD is like 125w were the i7 is like 85ish watts.
At idle and basic computing(non gaming) usage, does power consumption matter? Or is it more of a max load type thing?
Can we have a discussion on dx12 amd vs intel logically without a heavy dose of bias on this forum?
