They are very, very close IMO. I just bought my first desktop computer in a decade, in part for gaming, and bought all AMD. CPU was a no-brainer: unless you really really care about top of the line single core performance AMD is much cheaper. GPU was a bit trickier: again unless you really really care about top of the line GPUs the 5700(XT) are better value. RTX is an interesting sticking point.In the end since we're confident AMD is doing something here (because they are providing the hardware for the next console generation that is going to support RT) and we should know about it in about a year, and first rev tech isn't always a good buy I'm happy to delay getting on the RT train until the specs and support evens out a bit. tl;dr; unless you want and can afford to overpay for the best of the best AMD is incredibly competitive in gaming
