I don't need a heater in my living room right now.

That's what I thought at 1st as well, until I actually got it. But I can without a doubt says this runs much cooler than I had expected. Even my i7-3770k was hotter!

There's a whole series of benchmark gaming videos of 10600K vs 3700X. They perform basically the same with maybe 2% difference in FPS depending on the game. Then the 10900K would be maybe another 5% on top of that if you're gaming at 1440p or above. I don't really see it as an Intel vs AMD thing with the 10600K/3700X chips - they both do an extremely similar job at gaming a similar price point and both are good value choices in my eyes. The 10900K, for me, is a fair bit extra to pay for a relatively small real world bump in 1440p or above gaming performance though. But if the budget is there for it and absolute max FPS over "value" (which is subjective for everyone) is the desired outcome then go for it.

Mainly it is the job of the GPU to generate fps so that would figure. The Intels use a different memory control architecture so the memory timing is less important than AMD which would need more strict timing. In tests the memory bandwidth of the Intel is around 1.2x the AMD at the same frequency.

I had an idea to buy a slightly lower end AMD CPU and then when Ryzen 3 comes out, upgrade to that...though, I'd have to go through the hassle of trying to sell the AMD CPU.

The fact that it is at a lower temperature doesn't mean it's producing less heat - just that your cooling solution is better at transferring away that heat to your room.

Well whatever, my room is much more cooler now cause of my new build and I'm happy. That's all that matters.
