which is better? Amd or Intel

[DBSQWERTY]

Hello

Just wondering which is better. Amd A series or Intel 

[WhatComesAround]

Intel

[Wauthar]

Oh god please no.

 

Why are you asking, do you want to make a build? For which purposes/activities are you planning to use it for?

[Me1z]

The question is a little vague. Better for what? At what level and at what price point? There is no 'universally better' brand, they both have pros and cons.

Intel

no thats a very board way to look at things. You can't compare a whole range vs another range. just not possible.

 

The A series are APU's they are completely different to Intel chips.

ture, i have a broken finger so i can't type much, so i gave my opinion

[manikyath]

before this turns into a flame war:

 

they both have a time and place where they are needed, and neither are really better overall, it comes down to budget, personal preference and use case.

True, they have weak cores and a strong iGPU instead of strong cores and a weak iGPU (though Intel might be changing that to strong all round, and hopefully AMD will follow suit - or beat Intel to the punch).

You just started a war but generally Intel dominates the market.

[Lord_Karango17]

answer varies depending on the situation.

 

Amd has chips with very good onboard graphics for people wanting to game on a budget, while intel has very good single core performance and generally is a better choice in the higher end (very simply put)

When I was looking for my current rigs CPU my budget meant i could get an i5 or an 8350, I do mostly programming, rendering, photoediting so the 8350 was a better choice for me.

 

I got it and love it

[Kloud]

It really depends. Right now, Intel (for the most part.) If DirectX 12 can utilizethe higher amounts of cores in AMD's CPU's, then it's going to be close.

This questiion makes no sense. Give use two precise cpus and what you want them for, and we'll tell your which is better.

which one should I choose for Gaming: Phenom II X2 550 or i7-5960X (budget: 12k$)

Well, absolutely neither. The first is an old and discontinued cpu, and the second one is what, 10 times as expensive?

 

What resolution do you plan on gaming at, and do you own any other parts already?

This was an ironic question:) but I'd like to play on an 21:9  5.120 x 2.160 144hz ips Monitor

[Nexxus]

Please, what you really want is a VIA CPU

The VIA c3 line is a baws

There's no such monitor on the market, but you already knew that. Look, are we done playing games yet?

[satanisahippy]

Just get an ARM cpu, that stuff is crazy fast

Do you want a war? Because this is how you get a war!

 

You need to specify: your purpose, price, other computer parts.
