For instance, comparing Ryzen 3 1200 and Intel Core i5 2500K shows noticeable differences in performance based on the source. Regarding your question about Windows versions, the age of the CPU and operating system definitely matter. Upgrading from Windows 7 to 8.1 (or downgrading) can impact results. Your experience with an A8 6600K achieving around 87 FPS in CSGO after upgrading suggests that newer hardware and OS updates do play a significant role.

You've found that both the 2500K OC'd to 4.2 GHz and the Ryzen 3 1200 offer similar performance. There was no noticeable difference in your experience. However, if the game you're playing uses AVX2 or other advanced features, the Ryzen 3 1200 may provide a slight advantage.
