AMD vs Intel which is the best processor?
When buying a computer, it is important to choose its components carefully, 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 must be made taking into account the use you will give to the laptop and the available budget. Acquiring the wrong processor can mean paying extra unnecessarily or even limiting the performance of an otherwise powerful machine. For example, you should pay attention to your laptop's graphics card, as it may not be compatible with the performance of the processor you choose.
At the moment, there are two giants in the processor market: AMD Ryzen and Intel strong>, the latter being the most popular.
