Factors outside of performance may make you choose one manufacturer over the other. On the other hand, AMD offers overclocking on its cheaper B-series chipset, allowing budget builders to squeeze the most performance out of their machine. AMD is the better option for desktops right now, but that could change soon. Intel is set to launch its hybrid Alder Lake processors in late If you want to use your PC for heavy video editing at high resolutions, perform intensive video transcoding, or perform any other intensive task that can benefit from even more power than the best mainstream CPUs can offer, then high-end desktop, or HEDT CPUs, could be what you need.
Both AMD and Intel have their own options in this space, with higher core and thread counts. They also support a greater number of PCIExpress lanes — 64 versus just 44 on the Intel alternatives — making them more suited to larger storage arrays.
If you can make your work more efficient and even more profitable by buying them, though, that cost might be worth paying. These versions are almost identical to the base models, just with support for more memory and PCIe lanes. AMD is set rumored to launch Threadripper chips this year.
AMD has its Epyc range, which is currently in its third generation. The Intel Xeon W is the most impressive of the lot with 28 cores and 56 threads, These processors are based on the Intel 7 manufacturing process , which is also showing up in the Alder Lake desktop platform.

My 40yo eyes are well past the point of being able to tell the difference between 80fps and 83fps in a game or the ability to differentiate between 30 seconds and DigDog Lifer.

AMD profiles and x profiles for dram are basically "broken". May 15, 3, 1, But only because it's GPU limited. If it's not bottlenecked by the GPU Intel pulls away. DrMrLordX Lifer. Apr 27, 18, 6, Snowleopard said:.
DrMrLordX said:. AMD was wiping the floor with Intel in that timespan except for when the Northbridge-C chips briefly retook the performance crown. Once K8 caught on, it was over with until that fateful day in AMD held the desktop 1P performance crown for most of the time period between - You sure AMD processors never made it? Jan 1, 1, 1, The title seems like a troll to me.
Define "So much". And in what circumstance? They are somewhat slower in p, super fast monitors with low settings..
Not a lot, but some. If your monitor is 60hz, there is no difference. Or at and above, no difference. I'd add, we don't know what the end result of the meltdown patches and microcode updates are going to do yet.
The remaining 16 lanes are for either a single x16 slot for graphics, or on X-series chipsets there's an option for dual x8 connections for multiple graphics cards. It's possible to run memory at higher clockspeeds, but the achievable speed varies by CPU and motherboard.
AMD also has higher performance Ryzen Threadripper CPUs that put two or four 8-core chips inside a single package, providing core, core, core, and core CPUs—with twice as many threads as cores in each case.
These can be very fast for professional application workloads, but the earlier models tend to have added latencies that reduce gaming performance.
Third generation Threadripper CPUs on the other hand have a new socket and should be a no compromise solution, but at a substantially higher price. All of them can surf the Internet, stream Netflix, run office applications, multitask between all of those, and more.
The only way to really uncover differences is to run demanding workloads, which we do for our CPU reviews. For multithreaded application workloads, the Ryzen 7 X trades blows with the Core iK and Core iK—it's a tad slower in some cases, faster in others, but it costs quite a bit less as well factoring in the price of a cooler.
Most users would likely never notice the difference. The X is about 25 percent faster in multithreaded workloads, thanks to having 50 percent more cores. If you do content creation, AMD is looking extremely attractive. Shift over to games, and differences can become more noticeable. The gap shrinks at p and 4K, though, and if you're going with a mainstream build using an RX XT or RTX Super, the difference in gaming performance between a K or X is basically just noise.
That's beginning to change, but the other part of the equation is latency—the time to access and process data. AMD's earlier first and second gen Ryzen parts have higher cache and memory latency than Intel's 6-core and 8-core parts, leading to slightly worse overall performance in latency sensitive workloads like games. Incidentally, that same latency problem exists with both Threadripper and Intel's X parts: worse latency and worse gaming performance than the iK.
In testing, this combined with other architectural enhancements and higher clockspeeds helps to reduce the gap in gaming performance. It's still there, at the right settings, but it's not something most gamers would notice.
Plus, there are games where having a core CPU means you never need to worry about some background task sapping resources for a moment and causing hitches in framerate. It used to be that Intel processors and platforms were considered more secure than AMD solutions. But security is a vague term that can be hard to define, and most problems trace back to software, not hardware. But then Meltdown and Spectre happened.
Using low-level architectural details, security researchers were able to figure out side-channel attacks that could compromise the security of data. Meltdown affected AMD and Intel platforms to varying degrees, and changes in firmware as well as operating systems were required to address the problem. As mentioned before, the Ryzen 9 X has 16 cores and 32 threads.
This gives you all the power you need and then some to tackle everyday multitasking and general workloads in an office setting. It also has enough juice to give you great frame rates in both full HD and 4K gaming settings so you don't have to deal with terrible amounts of lag or screen tearing. The entire Ryzen series are all fairly evenly-matched when it comes to frame rates and multitasking abilities, so it all comes down to how many cores and threads you'll need.
The Ryzen 9 X features dual channel memory support and 64MB of cache. This ensures faster recall of your frequently-used files and programs. With a base clock speed of 3. The Intel iK has half the number of cores and threads as the Ryzen 9 X, but it makes up for some of that with slightly stronger single core performance. The iK has a base speed of 3.
It also uses just 95 watts of power compared to the Ryzen 9's watts - though you are getting around half the total performance. With Intel's integrated graphics, you'll get both full HD and 4K video and graphical support right out of the box. You'll not only get a great picture for both streaming video and playing the latest games, you'll also get awesome frame rates as well, preventing lag and screen tearing.
