We don’t tweak settings as high as an enthusiastic overclocker might, since (relatively) few people will be bothered to do the same. We then ran the same tests with a system’s automatic overclocking features. It only took a couple of clicks and we were good to go. We ran the tests at default BIOS settings with only the memory timings being adjusted to run at the advertised speeds.ĪMD told us that these still need to be done manually but we found on our Gigabyte motherboard that we could still set the timings and voltage automatically using Intel’s proprietary XMP settings.

The AMD AM4 Test Rig used the same Samsung 960 Pro NvME hard drive, Nvidia 1070 graphics card but opted for a Gigabyte Aorus GA-AX370-Gaming 5 motherboard (BIOS rev: 5b) and Corsair Vengeance 3000MHz LPX DDR4 RAM. And when you compare the two, it’s easy to see the value.įor the Intel tests we used our regular Test Rig components and an Intel Core i7 7700K CPU. In comparison, AMD’s Ryzen 3 3200G can be had for about around half that at $175 (we’ve seen it as low as AU$138). The below comparisons have been put together using .ĭepending on where you’re buying them from, Intel’s current crop of i3 CPUs currently range from approximately $206 on the low-end to $406 for the i3-10300. Of course, it should also be noted that even the cheapest ThreadRipper consumes twice as much power as its i9 counterpart and that while the latter does include integrated graphics, they aren’t any better than what you’ll get out of the closest Intel Core i7 processor.Īs always, it should be noted that component pricing can sometimes be quite elastic. If you’re the kind of high performance power user that AMD and Intel are looking to woo with the Threadripper and Core i9 respectively, your preference is ultimately going to come down to whether you think the higher clock speeds available with Intel are worth the higher the thread count, cache size and memory support you’ll get AMD. It’s about streaming it live, or recording it while adding LOL memes, sound effects, and all kinds of “gaming”-related tasks that didn’t exist a few years ago.” The problem is modern gaming isn’t about playing a game, winning, and going to sleep warm and happy. In many respects, they’re more analogous to AMD’s Ryzen Threadripper CPUs than they are Ryzen 9 CPUs.Īs put by PCWorld’s Gordan Mah Ung, “If you’re buying a 16-core CPU solely to play games, you might want to consider an 8-core chip, or even a 6-core chip instead, because few games can use all of the cores. They’re also quite expensive compared to the rest of the lineup.
#Amd ryzen software#
Unfortunately, as fearsome (and appealing) as those numbers might sound, most modern software isn’t really ready to make use of these capabilities – especially in the gaming space. The top-end Core i9-12900Ks (Amazon) touts 16 cores (8 Performance cores and 8 Efficiency cores clocked at 5.20 Ghz) and can handle 24 threads at once while the cheapest option on Amazon – the i9-10850K boasts 10 cores (capable of serving 20 threads) and a base clock speed of 3.6GHz.
#Amd ryzen series#
Introduced in 2017, the Core i9 series is a super high-end range of processors that boasts incredibly high thread and core-counts. There’s also the Intel Core i9 to consider. The numbers are more of an arbitrary way to distinguish between their relative processing powers than a specific designation based on core count or clock speed or anything technical like that.
A Core i7 does not have seven cores nor does Core i3 have three cores. Generally speaking, Intel Core i7 CPUs perform better than Intel Core i5 CPUs, which are in turn better than Core i3 CPUs. Ryzen Threadripper (Currently unavailable on Amazon) Intel Core – In a nutshell
