Intel VS AMD Build

Go to solution Solved by Wh0_Am_1,

Depending on the use case those might not even be the best choices on the market, if you are dealing with heavily multithreaded workloads and don't care about upgradeability the 5900x would actually be cheaper and would be faster in a lot of scenarios. Also I did some budget cutting to try to find any opportunity for an upgrade. Do note that the options were selected based on the nearest parts available on PC partpicker with the goal of maintaining quality in critical areas while potentially sacrificing some aesthetic qualities.

The Intel system is faster thanks to the E cores, but then gain, the AMD build has a motherboard that's more expensive than it really needs to be and you can probably swap it out for a 7700(X) if you drop the motherboard out. Also that PSU is known for blowing up, avoid it at all costs.

Thanks for telling me about the PSU

Personally, I do an equal amount of both workstation and gaming

I'll stick with Intel and NVIDIA

The 13600KF is nearly equal to the 5900X in MT and cheaper, while also being faster in ST. Doesn't really make sense to go for the 5900X for people that don't already own AM4 boards.

 

You can even get DDR5 if you sacrifice the Z690/Z790 board.

The only CPU I would consider on AM4 is the 5600 and maybe the 5700, everything above it has better options on current platforms.
