AMD: Better value multi-thread performance Intel: Better value single-thread performance They are basically neck and neck right now. I've never seen a CPU that was properly taken care of (i.e. not left caked in dust, etc) die before. The CPU is very rarely what dies in a PC. I've seen Pentium 4s run at 100C for hours on end and not die, and that was one of Intel's worst CPUs from my experience. I've seen the same from Athlon 64s too.
I've had my Pentium 4 run at 120C+ for years and hasn't died either. (Just Saying) --- Post updated --- But which one to choose? Why do people (like me) have preferences? for example, I prefer Intel. Always have.
You choose whichever one suits your computing needs and budget more. At least, that's the logical way to do it.
intel all the way. i feel like its more pro then amd lol. and go with intel if you wanna use it for 10 year without any issue.
Btw, another hint that I like Intel is my username. Seriously, I prefer Intel's performance over AMD.
i mean, unless you, for some reason, absolutely need that edge on single core performance that intel has, amd is totally offering the best dollar value right now that hasn't been the case for the last 5+ years but since ryzen, there's no real argument --- Post updated --- because you can't look at data and determine the best hardware for your use case you got brainwashed by marketing i mean, i have a 4690k, but assuming intel hasn't pulled again again by the time i'm upgrading, i'm gonna go red gimme 64 cars at once in beamng pl0x
@TechnicolorDalek I have a 4790k, and its been one hell of a CPU, but its almost time for me to upgrade. I might actually do a "Team Red" PC build with red LED lighting, AM4 motherboard and Ryzen 7 2700X CPU as a sort of celebrating of the fact that AMD is competitive in the CPU market once again. Now I just hope AMD can get it together again with the Radeon cards because right now, Nvidia is killing them at the $699 MSRP price point (with the 1080 Ti). The Fury X held its own pretty well against the competing 980 Ti, but the Vega 64 is definitely not doing well against the 1080 Ti.
Like most of the people in this thread, I'm currently running an Intel CPU. When I built my PC, AMD didn't have much in the way of competitive high end CPUs, and was only really getting worse. However, with the release of Ryzen, there's very little reason to choose Intel in most cases, and I will definitely go red for my next build. That said, it's a shame vega hasn't done so well.
there a reason why AMD is more powerfull but so cheap at same time, dont forget that, there a scam some where ..
If we were talking about AMD Bulldozer CPUs I might agree here, but Ryzen is definitely not a scam or anything similar. Right now, Ryzen 7 is the best value CPU on the market in terms of performance per dollar spent. Quite actually, I'd say the Intel Core i9 is the scam if anything.
In 2018 I think both brands are well represented. My i7-4810 laptop has been a total trooper and my 1950X desktop just dominates. Do have to say though the AMD pricing to performance against the i9's is a game changer for me and what influenced me to go AMD first time since 2001. Not a fanboy of either. This is merely my opinion and in no way should be perceived other than such.
AMD. Ryzen offers better performance for the money. AM4 is to stay through 2020, while Intel stopped supporting the 100 and 200 series chipsets for Coffee Lake. AMD is also only affected by some variants of Spectre while Intel is vulnerable to Meltdown and Spectre. Ryzen even has stronger IGPU on APUS and even a much better stock cooler, not to forget that the Ryzen CPUs have solder, not toothpaste TIM unlike Intel allowing them to run cooler. Before AMD released Zen, Intel charged massive money to get more than 4 true cores out of a CPU, not to forget that Intel paid OEMs like HP and Dell to not use AMD CPUs in their products back in the Athlon 64 and Pentium 4 days, probably because they were offended that AMD made a much better CPU compared to the rubbish Intel Netburst Pentium 4s.
