I play graphic intensive PC games on two different computer - one has the Ryzen and the another one has Intel. High CPU usage is more prominent on Intel, but I can't say that it is non-existent on the Ryzen one.

High CPU usage during games isn’t just an Intel thing—Ryzen CPUs can experience it too. It depends more on the game’s optimization, background apps, and GPU bottlenecks. That said, Intel CPUs tend to boost clock speeds aggressively, while Ryzen relies more on core efficiency, so how each handles load may look different, but both can hit high usage if the game is CPU-heavy.
