Intel core for gaming Amd ryzen for gaming I3 and ryzen 3 for budget I5 and ryzen 5 for mid I7 and ryzen 7 is more than enough Don't mind me it's only my note
I have an i7 but I have to play VANILLA Skyrim on the lowest graphic settings because it lags badly with higher graphic settings. What am I missing? (Sorry for my ignorance, I really don't know much about computers with RAM, Core, Memory etc.)
Such a nicely complied, informative and useful video. The explanation is on point and easy to understand. I knew most of these things about CPUs(I am a PC Gamer) but just needed a good refresher and this video was perfect. This channel is heavily underrated. Gave a thumbs up and added this to favorites. Keep up the awesome work guys!!!
Even three years later, this video is great. Allowed me to become aware of the aspects of a CPU and research the parts I wanted to learn more about. Thank you.
That's okay I couldn't afford the threadripper or the mobo for it anyways lol. I'm probably going it a 3950x with that even the whole build won't cost as much as the just the Threadripper CPU
I was not confident about the CPU i was picking but thanks to this video 1. I understand more about CPU’s and know that the CPU i picked is perfect. Keep up the good vids.
Thumbs up finally someone with a clear voice to explain the basics. Not some 30 or 40 something trying to be cool, talking like these computer terms and functions is common knowledge.
I’m in school. I need to build a pc. This information is perfect. Thanks guys. J I would love to do a video call one day to ask questions I have from a beginners point of view. Thanks again.
A good way to visualize clock speed is to imagine it as a car's engine. Higher rpm(clock speed) doesn't always translate to higher horsepower/torque.. 5000rpm in a corolla is not the same as 5000rpm in a huraycan
Ive actually have no experience in gaming and am building my own pc for the first time just because if im gonna do something might as well do it right and learn along the way
Best way to do it, and you save money that could be used towards better components. I'm personally in the same boat building a 3950x build for game design/gaming
So take this wire and plug it into the fan and the wattage of the power supply should invert directly to the processor which should light up the RBG. Got it!!
Yeah they also ended up not talking about certain things because they're like "oh these are overkill for gaming so just don't get these" which is unfortunate
You're no kidding better than linus and all those babbling channels, unlike them your videos are worth watching and actually absorbing real knowledge. I might be in love
Intel socket and "some compatibility issues?". That's like saying that TNT is something that burns really fast. The bottom line is that any CPU generation with Intel that you buy into, means that you have invested into a dead-end system and if you ever want to upgrade to a newer generation of Intel CPUs then you will have to buy a brand new motherboard to go with it. So if you had an i7-8700K and you wanted to upgrade to an i9-9900K then you could not use the same motherboard that you paid good money for. With Ryzen, if you bought a first generation X370 board, you can still run the latest Ryzen series of CPUs in it.
Yep, AMD guarenteed the AM4 platform untill last year (2021), so no motherbears change needed between 2017 - 2021 is amazing, BUT there were some cheap A320 to B450 boards that could not run the 5000 series due to power demands. Even now, AMD may be hinting that the 6000 series may be able to run on some AM4 boards.
Hello you mention to check if the motherboard is compatible with the cpu is there specific model number that the motherboard has on it to check with what cpu is compatible? And would that be with a graphic card too?
You may have already found the answer to this, but graphic cards are generally less specific and a 2020 graphics card with probably fit most 2020 mother boards of similar price range. CPUs will normally show very clearly what socket it is as well as the motherboard will too so it's easy to find what you need, but important to make sure that they are compatible. Intel comes in LGa sockets and AMD will normally be AM4
Watching this video has taught me that I shouldn't waste money on a CPU that has features that I don't need. "Top of the line" is not necessarily the best option.
@@jbproductions1224 ...also, besides the link, workarounds and software security upgrades have made an impact on performance as well - people were being told to turn off hyperthreading not too long ago. Spectre and Meltdown were just the beginning. It's also impacted corporate setups considerably and not just at the standard desktop level.
A bit late but hey, just to point out something here. The i9 and r9 are not Workstation CPUs, these are categorised as Enthusiast CPUs and are still mainly targeted at Gamers. For Workstation it's Threadripper for AMD, Intel does not have an equivelent SKU. That being said, there is nothing wrong in using them as Worstation CPUs, even i5 and r5 are capable in this regard. Threadripper does not use the AM4 socket, the video is very misleading on this as it shows a Threadripper CPU when talking about the AM4 socket. Threadripper uses TR4 and TRX4 which RYZEN CPUs will not fit into and are also way more expensive. Your explanation of Clockspeeds is simplistic and wrong in regards to how many instructions can be executer/second, IPC (Instructions per Clock) is important here, and far more important these days than clockspeed. Whilst IPC may not be something listed on any consumer spec sheet, companies will boast about IPC gain over previous generations CPUs, usually listed as a percentage gain. If Clockspeed is all that mattered, then there would be no improvement in performance over the last few years. Look at IPC as like an efficiency metric. Your explanation of Cache is bonkers, everything a computer does benefits from Cache, even Gaming, and it has nothing to do with multitasking. Take AMDs 5800X 3D CPU with 96MB L3 Cache, 200MHz slower than the 5800X which has 32MB of L3 Cachel, yet is has around a 15% performans increase. AMD APUs are designated with a G, so an r7 5700G for example is an APU, this one is 8 core / 16 threads but has less cache and lover clocks than its none G variant. On a budget, anything from an r5 3400G upwards will allow you to play most games at 1080p reasonably well, just do no expect to be running much on max settings, but as a stopgap untill you can afford a GPU, they are excellent. Currently using a 3400G with no issues in the games I play, Path of Exile even @ 1440p runs fine, even ARK runs quite well @1440p but you notice the frame rate dropping a lot, but to be honest, unless you are playing competetively, its not the end of the world, and you get used to it.
Cpu cache is very important for games the ryzen 7 5800x3D has 3 times as much cache as the ryzen 7 5800x and the 5800x3D runs games with much higher refresh rate
I mean as a gamer girl, who also programs, runs 1440p heavy max settings games, edits photos occasionally, streams, renders vids in 4K and stuff like that, Ryzen 9 3900x does a great job, I know people say it is an overkill but I think that having a ryzen 7 would have really been not as beneficial for me ;/
Ioni B. that kinda goes with what i’m saying, we’ve normalized “gamers” being guys when there’s plenty of girls that play games, we are gamers, not “gamer girls”
my 2021 Latest ELUK OMEN 25L Gaming PC (AMD Ryzen 7 3700X Processor, NVIDIA RTX 3070 keeps turning off first time it turned off for an hour, next time it doesnt turn on in 24 hours, we send to company and the company says that the computer works perfectly and that there are no problems with the computer, can I please get some help? Is it the power supply or the parts inside?
I missed the part where you explained what clock, l1 cache l2 cache ect, you know the specs part. this is more of a processor choice. very broad. i don't remember any stats being discussed
I could tell you about the difference between them in a few lines, but the short answer is: if budget doesn't matter, liquid cooling is *in general* better, but there are some air coolers that cool better. Exhibit A: Noctua
I'm very late to this, but I second the first reply and would add that air cooling is generally more reliable and less prone to leaking or other components breaking. I'm not saying that liquid coolers are garbage and will break everyday, but it's like a luxury vehicle the more buttons, switches and features you have the more that can go wrong. With a simplistic car that has manual windows or controls you don't need to worry as much because theres less things to break over time.
Are tier 7 CPUs really as excessive as you say? A lot of AAA games on steam have tier 7 CPUs as the recommended specs. Is that just the game devs being overkill so you get the most out of their games or are tier 7 CPUs more useful than portrayed here?
What I use my computer for is mostly 3d art and rendering animations, so for that reason, an i9 or a Ryzen 9 would definitely make a huge difference, but that's if you choose to use your rig instead of a render farm 🤔. But yes, for gaming, not much of a difference.
@Jwamer Jalal I have to agree with Adam. It wouldn't be "Intel core Intel5" Since the i5 is always going to be named just i5 albeit with the "i" derived from the intel name.
Actually, the i is there for patent reasons, back in the day, Intel named their CPUs as 286, 386 and 486 (the 86 being the overall CPU standard architecture), but you cannot patent numbers, so for the 586 Intell change it to Pentium, the 686 became Pentium 2, and so on. It's basically just branding for patent reasons. It realy has nothing to do with the I from Intel. Just think Apple/iPod and the year that Intel started to use the i :)
I found a pc with a clock speed of 4 GHz, which I thought was very fast... but it also has an intel i3 core, which I thought was slow. So I'm very confused whether this is a fast pc or not. How do I weigh clock speed against core model?
