This is not the title of Intel vs. Normal AMD. We decide you have decided that you prefer Intel, so what we will explain are the things to keep in mind when it comes to calling and buying the right processor for your needs, although as always, it will also depend on your budget.
Generation and range
The first thing to look for before buying an Intel processor is in the generation and range. Many OEM manufacturers (laptop and desktop) use marketing strategies to get great prices with our eyes. Sixteen threads! 4.5 GHz speed! Do you really need this?
Intel currently has ninth-generation processors on the road, but the tithe is already down. Depending on your budget, you may not be interested in purchasing the latest generation processor and it is worth waiting for them to open a new generation, at which time the previous ones tend to lower the price and you buy a very good processor for a small fee
As for distance, as you know Intel has Pentium, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7 and Core i9 (They have a lot, but let's focus on the average user). If we have to shorten it – somehow in a weird way, of course – the range of use, this would be a recommendation:
- Basic, office and multimedia tasks: Pentium or Core i3.
- For gaming, general use: Core i5 or Core i7.
- Overused / excessive: Core i7 or Core i9.
As a general rule, if you are looking for a gaming processor, you must rate the Core i5 or Core i7. Core i7s have HyperThreading technology and are usually faster, but have the disadvantage that their TDP is higher, so you'll need a good heatsink to integrate it with the processor.
More opened
A large part of Intel & # 39; s processors have their "standard" version and their "K" type, which comes with an open multiplier (for example, Core i7-8700 and Core i7-8700K). These types of open extensions tend to have minimum operating speed
Of course, these speculators are priced higher than usual, so it's reasonable to doubt whether it's worth or not to pay the extra. Do you intend to go over it? If the answer is no, don't hesitate and go to the standard model. If you're aiming for extremes, or for medium or long term, the "K" version should be your choice, but as always we warn you that overload is a dangerous habit that in extreme cases can render the processor unusable, causing excessive heat and system instability in many cases.
Cores, threads and speeds
Let's be honest: the more cores and more active the processors are, the better performance they will have (at least on multiple threading devices), and because operating speed increases, performance is more, Performance-related.
All right now Do you need an 8-core and 16-wire processor to play? Probably not. But if you intend to play next-generation games with 4K resolution or intend to use gadgets, you should consider purchasing a better-equipped Intel processor, on your budget.
This is obviously something personal according to your needs, but what we want to tell you don't be fooled by marketing and the "numbers war", because you may not need a high-speed processor to meet your needs, and you will have an over-processed processor and spend a lot of money on your account.
