As a prominent sponsor of numerous esports tournaments, Intel's hardware has come under fire from several professional gamers due to subpar performance. Ropz, a seasoned competitor in "Counter-Strike 2," voiced his dissatisfaction, asserting that the game attains the requisite smoothness for competitive esports solely on the Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor. He highlighted that not all tournaments are outfitted with this specific CPU. Hardware Unboxed has rounded up these pertinent grievances, emphasizing that Intel chips exhibit a marked performance deficit in high-pressure scenarios. Some players have reported frame rate discrepancies surpassing 100 frames, further underscoring the issue.
