Apologies for my ignorance but I have not been keeping up with the latest CPU trends. As far as I can remember, AMD Ryzen series was the outperforming Intel series in the past few years but it seems that Intel is not offering similar performance at lower prices. I really need to decide which platform to choose. I want to save as much as possible in other components so that I can but a decent GPU. I am planning to build a PC in Jan 2022, also I am in Germany so I will check out the local prices as per the recommendations provided here.
