DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PROCESSOR AMD AND INTEL

The competition between AMD and Intel CPUs has been going on for decades. Most of that time, Intel has held the lead, but I'm not concerned so much with the past. Here's the current state of AMD and Intel CPUs, what are the pros and cons of each, and everything else you really need to know about the great CPU debate.

For many users, the difference between any of the current generation AMD and Intel CPUs is negligible. All of them can surf the Internet, stream Netflix, run office applications, multitask between all of those, and more. The only way to really uncover differences is to run demanding workloads, which we do for our CPU reviews.

For multithreaded application workloads, the Ryzen 7 2700X trades blows with the Core i7-8700K and Core i7-9700K—it's a tad slower, but also costs quite a bit less. Most users would likely never notice the difference. Intel's 9900K might be 25 percent faster than the 2700X, but only when you're really hitting the CPU hard.

Shift over to games, and differences can become more noticeable. With a high-end GPU like an RTX 2080 or RTX 2080 Ti, the fastest Intel CPUs typically lead AMD's best Ryzen parts by 15 percent, and in some games the gap can be as large as 25 percent. The gap shrinks at 1440p and 4K, but it's also worth noting that quite a few games fail to hit 144fps (eg, for a 144Hz monitor) with Ryzen CPUs, regardless of resolution or setting.

Part of the reason AMD CPUs are a bit slower in games is that games don't usually make use of more than four to six CPU cores, so the extra cores on Ryzen CPUs are often idle. That may change in the coming years, but the other part of the equation is latency—the time to access and process data. AMD's dual-CCX design has higher cache and memory latency than Intel's 6-core and 8-core parts, leading to slightly worse overall performance in latency sensitive workloads like games. Incidentally, that same latency problem exists with both Threadripper and Intel's X299 parts: worse latency and worse gaming performance than the i7-8700K.

In terms of value, it's easy to make the case for AMD's Ryzen CPUs. You can get an 8-core/16-thread Ryzen 7 CPU starting at just $160, and that includes a cooler that works well with the CPU. Step down to 6-core/12-thread Ryzen 5 and they start as low as $120. AMD also makes budget-friendly APUs—a 4-core CPU combined with a modest integrated graphics solution that's typically twice as fast as Intel's current integrated graphics. For each category, Intel's equivalent CPUs cost anywhere from $25 to $300 more—a budget Core i3 won't cost that much more than a Ryzen 3 APU, but the high-end Core i9-9900K costs substantially more than the Ryzen 7 2700X.

Intel CPUs are typically the favorite choice for performance and overclocking enthusiasts. While the overclocking range for the latest 8-core parts is limited (4.9-5.1GHz being the typical maximum without exotic cooling solutions), the 8th Gen parts hit similar overclocks but start at lower base clocks. Intel's top CPUs cost more than their AMD counterparts, especially once you add in a decent cooler, but they're also faster. AMD has nothing that can beat the Core i9-9900K, in games or other applications.

But how much are you willing to pay for the final boost in performance that Intel offers? And are you willing to wait for AMD's upcoming Ryzen 3000, which may close the gap with the 9900K? For multithreaded workloads (eg, video editing and encoding), AMD's Ryzen CPUs are very competitive. I'd also be remiss if I didn't point out how long Intel sat at 4-core/8-thread mainstream desktop CPUs. It's mostly thanks to AMD and it's Ryzen processors that Intel has started shipping 6-core and 8-core CPUs at far more reasonable prices.

Right now, the competition for CPU dominance between AMD and Intel is closer than we've seen since the first Athlon 64 parts in 2003. AMD hasn't held the performance crown since 2006—not in every meaningful category at least—but with 7nm Ryzen 3000 CPUs coming this summer, and Intel still stuck at 14nm with Coffee Lake, this year is perhaps AMD's best shot at the title.
