Why is minimum specs the only one to have a specific intel cpu and ryzen equivalent when every other category is ryzen cpu or Intel equivalent? Is it some convoluted way to throw shade at Intel or something

I think it's just that the 7600K was incredibly popular, and for good reason: it's still relevant after 6 years.

Putting the 3700x (a 4yo chip) in "recommended" essentially communicates that it scales with more cores, but that any recent mid-range CPU is probably good enough (my 5600X generally beats the 3700X).
