AMD or Intel

[donnyboi128]

I've been looking at building a pc for a while now and have always been a Intel user, but I've seen alot of AMD builds at the minute. So was wondering the pros and cons with AMD to Intel. The pc will be used for work, games and some editing. Which AMD prosserse are the best in the Intel ones.

Thank for any help you can give

The reason you recently see a lot of AMD builds is because AMD caught up in performance and is cheaper than Intel,so it doesn't make sense to buy Intel CPUs now.

The best AMD CPU is the 3950X,a 16 core 32 threads monster,and it can game very well.

The best Intel CPU is the 9900KS,a 8 core 16 threads,best CPU for gaming.

Intel pros are slightly better gaming performance.  imo, not enough it should really matter given the other changes, particularly if you are doing "work and editing"

 

AMD pros are literally everything else - cost, efficiency, expandability, multi-threaded performance, superior modern upgradable platform, etc.

Cores vs Threads When Gaming

Cores will always be more important when gaming. Gaming itself isn’t too much of an intense task for a processor. Even modern games can run smoothly on a quad-core, 4-threaded CPU, depending on the processor’s cache and clock speed. Threads are actually useful when you’re running multiple tasks. Say you’re gaming and you plan on streaming. A multithreaded or hyper-threaded processor will help you run the games within playable frame rates while also handling all of the encoding tasks that are associated with recording/streaming.

If you plan on recording game footage and uploading it to sites like Twitch.tv or Youtube.com, more threads help the processor run 2D video-processing software (such as Adobe Premiere, OBS, After Effects), so investing in a multithreaded, hyper-threading-capable processor makes sense if you’re planning on using your recorded gaming footage.

That being said, we’ve reached a crossroads in gaming. AAA developers keep pushing the boundaries of the PC’s current capabilities and keep designing games that are much more CPU-intensive. Games like the new Assassin’s Creed (Odyssey and Origins) are already pushing obsolete processors to their limit. The more ambitious game design means that the games will be more resource-hungry and less-optimized. While for esports titles (such as Overwatch and League of Legends) don’t really take advantage of the multiple threads, single-player, narrative-driven titles keep getting more and more ambitious.
