AMD or Intel
August 5th, 2016
I’m building a new desktop, and having a hard time deciding between both of them. It’s been years since I put a modern computer together, I have not been keeping up on my CPU`s so what going on in the CPU world? Right now its between an AM3 or i7.
Thanks.
Lay some technical info on me and tell me why, I will understand, I know the terminologies and technical CPU information.
Intel Core i7 gets my vote.
i7 all the way!
intel i7 cant get any better than that right now
i7
cause AMD is no match for i7
If cash isn’t a constraint, then i7 is the better choice.
intel if you want the best of the best. AMD if you’re on a budget.

agreed..
i7 line runs faster than any phenom IIs right now, though both the processor and the motherboard will be more expensive. So it depends on your budget.
Money is not a factor, however could someone please point out some key differences between the 2?
The i7 chips are faster in all aspects of processing and a insane amount faster when overclocked. That’s enough difference
EDIT: nvm ok thanks everyone. =] ill buy an i7
i7 … jock covered me aswell :>
its no contest these days INTEL rules shame really but Amd CAN NOT COMPETE FOR PERFORMANCE RIGHT NOW
well i myself choose INTEL no question
i know you’ve already made your choice, but i just feel like voicing my opinion
it’s obviously intel, the i7 is the best CPU for gaming right now, and once you overclock it it’s just disgusting. only problem is, money IS a factor for me, so i can’t afford an i7 for bawls right now. enjoy your i7, though!
Thanks All for your help, I’m not buying it until 3 days from now so please voice your opinions I’m still kinda of fence about it.

Depends what you are looking for really mate. Are you going to be overclocking atall? What is this machine going to be used for mainly? How much are you willing to pay for the system?
If you want this for gaming then what resolutions will you game?
The system will probably be around 4 to 4.5 grand. It will serve many purposes. Most likely Games, Server type things.

Server for what? and thats UK yeh?
No USA $, FTP, Movies (Transcoding), Telnet, SSL/SSH, LAMP, Local Proxy, .ect
Why don’t you just re use stuff from the pc in your sig? Re-use the gpu’s and the ram and the psu and the optical drive, sell the cpu and mobo and raptors and buy a couple ssd’s and a 1366 motherboard and i7 960.
Would be a sweet upgrade for ya,.

If you have that ward of cash, i7 hands down. Or you can wait for 6 core or 8 cores models which is coming soon.
i7’s feel kind of old when you think about it.
