Pudget Systems has shown properly that in PugetBench for Davinci Resolve, Intel shines in all scenarios.
The best part is Intel’s every chip at each level defeats AMD Ryzen 5000 series while the Core i5 12600K totally destroys the likes of Ryzen 5 5600X, performing 17% better. Also, the 12 core Core i7-12700K much expectedly performs better than the Ryzen 7 5800X, overall, if you can bear the platform costs of 12th Gen Intel SKUs then you can expect healthy difference not just in gaming but also in productivity.
