Does CPU brand matter for input latency in gaming? Nope.

Still comes down to other hardware in the system, and most importantly, your monitor and settings.

Wait... I can't tell if this is a problem someone made up to make a video. Or if this is a bit of nonsense people manufactured and convinced themselves exists and now needs to be addressed.

Is the next video going to need to debunk IT healing crystals?

No, but people care about CPU brand for value and for performance.

AMD is better value, Intel has the fastest gaming performance.

It's a 'genuine' problem that people in the FPS community worry about, I can't see why it would be an issue.
Then again, I've seen people that claim they can feel the difference between a 1ms and 2ms delay on a button. (Obviously complete ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, so people just make issues up, or because of lack of education mindlessly believe what they've been told.)

Clearly more people cared than you think, if GN (a channel with nearly 1 million subs) made a video on the topic.

And, if you actually watched the video, acording to these tests, the Ryzen 3700x, while having a slightly larger latency variance gave a majority of lower latency results.
FPS isn't the be all end all of performance. (This is why I always recommend people cap their FPS, so you can get lower latency, best of both worlds)

Intel may give an extra few frames, maybe a couple dozen, but you can see from the video that Intels lead isn't anywhere near people think it is.

Now, I'm a big Intel fanboy, I would mindlessly buy one of their products just because 'theyre the best.' But, as of late, I genuinely don't see a point to buying Intel, the performance delta is so small it's not worth mentioning, the price of their chips is garbage (i5 is the same price as an R7), and they draw insane amounts of power compared to AMD. They quite literally are a joke now, sure they offer better framerates in games, sometimes ~20more FPS, but they're few and far between.

Intel, for the moment, is really a pointless buy. I wouldn't even recommend it.

GN often does videos debunking myths or providing answers to community questions.

But no IT healing crystals yet? That's what I'm waiting for.

Do they exist? Could you link me one? I want it to repair my SSD write damage!

My mom is sold on shungite because of the naturally occurring fullerenes. To listen to her tell it, it'll cure just about anything. I would try that if you've got money to waste on weapons grade bolognium.

Minus the Intel partiality, that sounds like me. I went to upgrade from my Core i5 2500K and was initially looking at Intel though due to my preference for per core performance and AMD having sort of tossed it to the wind for core count back then. I knew the performance gap shrunk, and I knew Intel was more expensive, but wow did I underestimate both once I started researching where current CPU lineups sat. Needless to say, I went with AMD; specifically a Ryzen 7 3700X and I haven't regretted it at all. That said, I also don't think Intel is a bad choice if you're willing to pay the extra for it. It's merely a worse value, but not a worse performer.

Still trying to learn Ryzen, had some situations where I seemed to be getting lower than expected all core performance/test results (half resolved with an updated BIOS, other half might be stock cooling), but I'm really happy with it, and happily looking forward to Zen 3/Ryzen 4000 series, and I might even consider a 12 core CPU for then. If I were to do that and double the RAM (this would be expensive though as I have 4 modules now, and more than this is far from needed today so I probably won't), then I feel I could make this last the 9 years my Sandy Bridge did without a doubt.
