Core Ultra 7 265K vs Ryzen for gaming + work — is switching platforms actually worth it?

I’m currently running a Core Ultra 7 265K, but I keep hearing that Ryzen is the better choice these days, especially for gaming. Is it actually better enough to justify switching platforms? I do game quite a bit — Monster Hunter, League of Legends, etc. — but this is also my work PC. My work is mostly development, some light local AI, and a lot of multitasking with multiple apps and processes running at the same time.

I originally went with Intel because the 265K seemed like a good all-rounder for gaming + productivity. But lately I’ve been hearing that modern Ryzen CPUs are also excellent for workstation/productivity use, so now I’m curious.

The other thing I’m thinking about is cost. Moving to Ryzen obviously means replacing the motherboard too, so I’m less interested in “Ryzen gets X% more FPS in this benchmark” and more interested in the overall value of switching the whole platform.

For this kind of mixed gaming/workload use, would you just keep the 265K? Or is there a Ryzen CPU that would make the motherboard + CPU swap genuinely worth it? Curious what you guys would do.
