Intel VS. AMD?

For a seemingly never-ending stretch of time, Intel was the go-to for high performance processors, or more commonly referenced as 'CPU' (central processing unit). However, AMD made a defiant resurgence with their industry-shaking line-up of Ryzen CPUs, based on their seriously impressive Zen architecture and chiplet technology.

Why should I go AMD?

These enabled Ryzen CPUs to come densely packed with high core counts, easily exceeding 6, 8 and even more cores. The top-end Ryzen 9 CPUs have up to a mind-boggling 16 cores, previously unheard of for a readily available consumer-grade CPU. High core counts are perfectly suited for multi-tasking and multi-threaded workloads, such as running the latest big-budget blockbuster video games or seamlessly switching between demanding applications.

The best of both worlds

Having record-breaking core counts is all well and good, but what about their raw performance? When AMD first debuted Ryzen CPUs, they were admittedly a bit behind Intel in terms of speed. Slowly but surely, AMD eventually eclipsed Intel's lead with their latest generation Ryzen CPUs. AMD processors provide both sheer speeds and high core counts, making quick work of whatever you throw at it.

How do I choose an AMD processor?

If you're at all familiar with the Intel Core line-up of processors, the AMD Ryzen processors are split up very similarly. There's the Ryzen 3, Ryzen 5, Ryzen 7 and Ryzen 9 series. Essentially, each increase in series number indicates improved performance, feature sets and core counts. For day-to-day tasks, the Ryzen 5 CPUs offer solid performance.

What is the best AMD processor for gaming?

For gaming, you'll want at least a Ryzen 5 CPU, the sweet-spot being a Ryzen 7 CPU. These start at 6-core configurations, arguably the minimum needed for modern game engines. Once you move up to Ryzen 5 and above processors, you also get improved performance when multi-tasking, with support for simultaneous multi-threading (SMT). This splits up a physical core into two virtual cores to efficiently spread the workload. 6-cores with 12-threads for instance. Many applications, including games, leverage SMT for improved performance. Next-generation consoles like the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X use AMD processors, so they're perfect for gaming.

What is the AMD Ryzen Threadripper?

If you're looking for raw power - this is it. The AMD Ryzen Threadripper processor is designed for editors, engineers, designers and artists. Anyone who uses complex power-hungry software. The AMD Ryzen Threadripper CPU really is a brute and has all the power anyone could ever need. For creatives there is no other choice.
