Let's talk Intel Core Ultra CPUs
For gaming, it's a no-brainer: 7800X3D/9800X3D dominates, easily.
Besides that, the Intel 13th and 14th gen have voltage issues that can literally brick your PC, not to mention running really hot. It performs poorer than AMD CPU anyway. It's a no-brainer not to use these unless you got these for free (but even then it's arguable).
So where do Intel Core Ultra fit in? They apparently "specialize in AI" and have a NPU. From my research, the NPU does absolutely nothing as there doesn't exist software the utilizies it.
AI tasks use the GPU anyways.
So what exactly is the point of the Intel Core Ultra? Is it just to jump on the AI bandwagon by slapping "AI" on a CPU?
