AMD vs Intel which is the best 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 good operation of the operating system and execution of the applications, so it is important to make the right choice.

The decision must be made taking into account the use you are going to make of the notebook and the budget available. Buying the wrong processor can mean overpaying 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.

Right now, there are two giants in the processor market: AMD Ryzen and Intel, the latter being the most popular.

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

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

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

• Ryzen 3 3300X - for computers performing simple tasks

Core/Threads: 4/8

Speed: 4.3 GHz
