'AMD vs Intel which is the better processor?'

When buying a computer, it is important to choose its components well, especially the processor (CPU). The processor is the "brain" of the machine, responsible for the proper functioning of the operating system and execution of applications, so it is important to make the right choice.

The decision should be made taking into account the use you will give to the laptop and the available budget. Acquiring the wrong processor can mean paying too much unnecessarily or even limiting the performance of a machine that could be powerful. For example, you should pay attention to the graphics card of your laptop, as it may not be compatible with the performance of the processor you choose.

At this moment, there are two giants in the processor market: AMD Ryzen and Intel, with the latter being the most popular.

"While Intel offers the Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, and Core i9, AMD does the same with the Ryzen 3, Ryzen 5, Ryzen 7, and Ryzen 9. In this article, we will discuss the differences between the two."

 

Difference between AMD and INTEL processors

This North American company launched its first CPU in 1971 and has since become the market leader in processors. With product prices slightly higher than AMD, Intel excels in performance quality, speed, and durability.

  • Intel Core i3 Processor - suitable for those looking for laptops that can perform simple tasks daily, such as checking email and the internet or editing files.

Cores/Threads: 2/4

Speed: 3.9 GHz

  • Intel Core i5 Processor - suitable for the vast majority of tasks performed on the laptop, allowing them to be done simultaneously.

Cores/Threads: 6/6

Speed: 4.6 GHz

  • Intel Core i7 Processor - ideal for those who do multimedia editing, such as designers or photographers. It is also suitable for gaming enthusiasts or for those who perform tasks that require superior performance.

Cores/Threads: 8/8

Cores/Threads: 10/20

Speed: 5.1 GHz

 

 

AMD processor

In 2017, AMD launched the first generation of Ryzen processors, creating competition with its direct rival, Intel.

The great advantage of Ryzen processors is their more affordable price. In fact, AMD has positioned itself in the market for its quality/price ratio and number of cores, but falling behind Intel in terms of performance and durability.

  • Ryzen 3 3300X - for computers that perform simple tasks

Cores/Threads: 4/8

Speed: 4.3 GHz

  • Ryzen 5 3600 - this processor has some advantages over the Intel in the same segment (i5): the price and the number of cores. Suitable for intermediate users.

Cores/Threads: 6/12

Speed: 4.2 GHz

  • Ryzen 7 3700X - ideal for those who need speed in task execution at an affordable price. Supports most games and multimedia editing programs.

Cores/Threads: 8/16

Speed: 4.4 GHz

  • Ryzen 9 3900X - perfect for the same audience as the Intel i9. Both processors have the best performance on the market and are recommended for those who need extra speed and performance.

Cores/Threads: 10/20

Speed: 4.7 GHz

 

 

In summary, comparing similar AMD Ryzen and Intel processors, Intel consumes less power and has superior performance to AMD Ryzen

On the other hand, AMD Ryzen processors stand out for their attractive quality-price ratio.
