Intel or AMD

[Hypoxz]

I Want to upgrade my cpu but i dont know if i should go for intel or AMD

I use my system for gaming

 

Im looking to get an i9 10th gen or ryzen 9

What is my best option for gaming

and what is a good motherboard to get it with

and also is future-proof 

[eeeee1]

only gaming: i would advise intel

anything else plus gaming: amd

If you're just gaming, you probably don't need neither a 10900K nor a 3900X/3950X.

What's your budget?

also never say future-proof. that doesnt exist unless it is a power supply xd

Throw out the Future proof. It was so yesterday. Tomorrow's Cpu release AMD around September'ish.....

 

Can't compare Cpu that's not released to One that already is.

 

Option 1: Wait

Option 2: Intel OC'ed getting better frame rates

Option 3: slightly lower FPS at a much better efficiency (draws less and runs cooler)

For CPU around 550 euros but lower is better

99% yes and some basic desktop stuff and working in unity a little bit

if gaming is your only concern than something like a 3700x and a b550/x570 combo should work or if you want to go intel then a 10600k and a z490 would work as well

But will it last long enough and capable enough to be paired with for example an (i know not released yet) rtx 3080

i would then heavily suggest intel like i5 tenth gen if you can afford it. but make sure whatever cpu you buy, your gpu can keep up. also what games?

Also i5 with 3080 is it good enough?

we dont know the 3080's specs yet but i believe that with that combo, you will have sick 240+ frame gaming

[Mateyyy]

Yeah get a 10600K, a Z490 Tomahawk or Gaming Edge WIFI and some 3600MHz CL16 or 3200MHz CL14 memory; 16GB will be enough for gaming.

What resolution monitor will you game at?

1080p is nice for high fps but will be hell for a unity/dev workspace...

 

As such, likely youll opt for 1440p middleground, and then, depending on titles played youll be gpu bound likely anyway.

 

Id say, save bucks by going amd, if you want to learn unitt youll venture jnto other stuff as well and youll appreciate the allroundness of a 3x00 processor more than the 5% higher fps or so if going intel.

 

Just my 2cts, your milage may vary etc. (Fwiw, i recently went team red and have been very happy with it).

If you only or mostly play games, more precisely the i5 10600k (which, If you are limited to 250 USD can perform really well even in other kinds of workloads), If you do more prductive workloads and have a higher budget go for AMD, a 3700x or a 3900x are really good processors and will absolutely crush the competition (for the price).

[DailyProcrastinator]

For an all gaming PC consider the i5-10600k.

 

Watch these, long, but provides great info.
