AMD vs Intel - Please vote

[BoxedSA]

Hello all,

 

Need your opinions, busy with a new build. Need some input on the CPU + Motherboard. Which would you use? and also if you could say why you would recommend that choice.

 

These are the options available in my location

 

INTEL

Intel i5 13500 - BX8071513500

MSI PRO Z690 - PROZ690-ADDR4

 

AMD

AMD Ryzen 5 7600 - 100-100001015BOX

MSI PRO B650M - PROB650M-AWIFI

 

Thanks in advance

Productivity or mixed-usage build: 13500.

Gaming-only build: 7600.

For what usecase?

Create a poll in your post @BoxedSA

Most use cases I'd pick the 7600. If it's purely for CPU productivity then 13500. not with a DDR4 motherboard. Cinebech and few other workload tasks that's like 1/5th lost performance with DDR4 over DDR5.

Mixed bag - General day to day task with some random gaming here and there.

If everyday then 7600 for sure.

I5-13500 but I'd put it on a B760 motherboard.

IF you put the 13500 on DDR4 like you mentioned in the first post, it's nowhere near the 7600 in productivity or gaming. It's getting beating even by Ryzen 5000 CPUs then.

Thanks for the input.

 

I have gone with the AMD 7600 and Gigabyte B760 AORUS ELITE AX

That's not gonna work, you can't put an AMD CPU inside an Intel motherboard. Get youself an AMD motherboard, a B650.

 

Something like this will be fine:

PCPartPicker Part List

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600 3.8 GHz 6-Core Processor  ($225.99 @ Amazon) 
Motherboard: ASRock B650M-HDV/M.2 Micro ATX AM5 Motherboard  ($124.99 @ Amazon) 
Total: $350.98
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

Or if you want to go with an ATX motherboard while looking somewhat decent as well.
