Are you looking for the best processor for your gaming PC and confused to choose between AMD vs Intel? It's better to see Jaka's review below first, gang!
Currently, there are many people who like to play games, both on console platforms and playing on PCs. Consoles are quite popular because of their practicality. Just plug it in, you can play right away.
Unlike the PC that you have to assemble one by one. Choosing components is not an easy thing. Even though there are already PC assembly websites and applications on Android to simulate assembling a PC, it's still a hassle.
When choosing processor, you must also be confused to choose the best processor brand that suits your needs. Between processors Intel vs AMD Ryzen, which one is better, huh?
Intel vs AMD Processor, Which is Better to Buy?
Actually, there are quite a lot of processor brands on the market, gang. However, only 2 brands are able to dominate the current processor market, namely: Intel Core and AMD Ryzen.
Intel Core has a long history and a better reputation than AMD. Intel Core processors offer state-of-the-art technology that is of premium quality at the top class.
Meanwhile, AMD in the past was an alternative choice for people who assemble PCs but with a minimum budget. Even though it's cheap, AMD in the past wasn't that bad either, gang.
In 2013, the dominance of Intel Core was unstoppable by AMD. AMD is in danger of losing money and going out of business due to its innovation which is considered undeveloped.
However, things changed in 2017 when AMD introduced their new processor, namely Ryzen Series.
Everyone was immediately fascinated by the performance and also the low price.
How come, yes, AMD Ryzen has a performance that is not inferior to Intel processors but is priced at a fairly lopsided price? Come on, see the AMD vs Intel comparison below!
1. AMD vs Intel: Clock Speed
Back in the early days of release, the AMD Ryzen processor architecture allowed these processors to have: clock speed which is higher than Intel's Intel Core processors.
Even so, the current state is different because both have clock speed which are more or less the same and have the same potential whenoverclock.
clock speed also actually can't be used to measure processor performance accurately, gang. In fact, sometimes clock speed can make you misleading aka cheated.
If you pay attention, currently there is no gaming processor available clock speedit's below 3 GHz. The average processor today has an average 3 - 4 GHz.
2. AMD vs Intel: Overclock
Overclocking is the act of making the processor to work at a higher speed than the device manufacturer's requirements.
AMD Ryzen processors have the advantage because all of their processors can beoverclock, the origin of the motherboard used supports that matter.
Meanwhile, not all Intel processors can beoverclock, gang. Only processors with the suffix "K" which can be overclocked. That is one of Intel's negative points.
However, the Intel processors thatoverclock will have better performance and potential than AMD processors builtoverclock.
Yes, it's a motherboard that supports overclock Intel processors are indeed more expensive. If you are the sultan, Jaka recommends using Intel, gang.
3. AMD vs Intel: Number of Cores
One of the selling points owned by AMD Ryzen is more cores compared to cores belonging to Intel Core processors.
Before Ryzen was released, Intel often relied on Hyper-Threading, which is a technique that allows the processor to execute multiple files thread or instructions at the same time, thereby increasing system performance and responsiveness.
AMD Ryzen has a count Core/Threads which varies, starting from 4/4 in the series Ryzen 3, 6/12 on the draw Ryzen 5, and 8/16 on Ryzen 7.
The higher the count thread, then the processor has a higher performance in terms of multi-tasking.
Meanwhile, Intel Core i3 only has 4 cores, Core i5 has 6 cores, and Core i7 has 8 cores.
So, it can be said that the Ryzen vs Intel comparison in terms of cores, AMD Ryzen wins over Intel Core yes, gang.
4. AMD vs Intel: Performance
AMD Ryzen has better multi-tasking capabilities with a large number of cores, however Intel has better single-core performance.
Maybe you will wonder, which processor has better performance when playing games, Intel Core or AMD Ryzen.
To answer that, actually a bit difficult, gang. In ancient times, there was no game that required many cores to run.
However, today's games, especially those that have world expansive requires a lot of cores to run the game smoothly.
However, when playing games, it's not your processor that's working hard, but GPU (Graphic Processing Unit) or commonly known as a VGA card.
5. AMD vs Intel: Compatibility
Intel processors require a motherboard with socket LGA type to use the processor. The problem is that not all LGA types support Intel processor types.
For example, processor i7 6700k requires a motherboard with socket LGA 1151. Outside the socket, the processor cannot be used because it is not compatible.
Unlike AMD, which uses a socket of type AM. Currently, Ryzen's newest socket has a series AM4. Cool, all AMD processors are able to use this socket, gang.
Old Ryzen processors are capable of using new socket motherboards, as well as new Ryzen processors capable of using motherboards with old sockets.
Conclusion
From the above comparison, we can see that AMD Ryzen excels above Intel Core though not in all comparisons.
For those of you who use a PC only to play games, it seems suitable to use an AMD Ryzen processor because of the cheaper price and the top mid-end performance.
However, if you have a lot of money and want to build a high-end PC, you can choose to use an Intel Core processor because of its superior performance in the high-end class.
It's all coming back to you guys again, gang. There is a price, there is a quality.
That's Jaka's article about the comparison between Ryzen vs Intel Core processors. So, which one will you choose, gang?
Write your answer in the comments column, yes!
