If that’s the game we want to play, there’s always POWER to show what you can pull off with an unlimited power (no pun intended) budget.
not really. for whatever reason, ryzen cpus have very little headroom for overclocking. no matter how much you increase the voltage, you're not gonna get much more performance. intel has increasingly pushed the limits of their designs over the last few generations, but you can usually get more performance with aggressive voltage settings and beefy cooling.
Ryzen CPUs are limited when it comes to overclocking due to the infinity fabric as that needs to be stable and in sync with RAM.
Some people care about performance per dollar, and Intel can compete with AMD on that front with Alder Lake.
