What Processor is better Intel or AMD
- Thread starter MarkOfA
- Start date
Intel definitely , although amd is cheaper and for some they have more cores which will be great for streaming/rendering
Honestly It really depends on what your going to be using your computer for...
Intel - Heavy Gaming, Intensive application use, rendering, workstation, Mainly for High Budget systems.
AMD - Cheap(Price) , Decent at Workstation, Gaming, Video editing, Mainly for Medium budget systems or AMD Fans.
Overall - Intel is the higher end product due to releasing more efficient products yearly, the last time AMD released a CPU that wasn't an APU was about 3-4 years back(Their highest end cpu, 9590)
Hope this helps.

AMD Offers 8 Cores and 8 Threads, it's not hyper threaded, it is however Hyper Transported, it's similar to that of Intel's Hyper Threading, but the Core's themselves aren't strong enough to compare to Intel's 5960x which is a 8 Core 16 Threaded processor(Current Highest End CPU for Consumers, not including the Intel E3 E5 line up)
AMD - Great performance to price, worth it in the long run.
Intel - High End Performance, kinda expensive... but worth it in the long run.
What it comes down to is this... Do you want to wait longer for a task to complete? Or do you want to get it done as fast as you can and not worry about how much it costs?
I run a AMD Build, because it's cheaper than Intel, sure it's not efficient or great for Video editing, but from my perspective it gets the job done right, and on time when I need it.
I had a 4790k build(Intel), with a GTX 980 Ti(Nvidia), Sure it was a high end build, cost me about $1500 to make it personally, but the price to performance didn't justify the cost for me, so I settled with a FX 8320, and a R9 390 for the Best Price To Performance, that I could find.
Best of luck~

Well there is no clear winner in the cpu fight but if you are just going to game and to some light video rendering on a budget amd is the way to go but if you have a bit more cash to spend I would go the intel way with one of the more high end i5 or maybe even a core i7!
Minecraft is 50/50 CPU/GPU intensive depending on what kind of configuration your running.
AMD FX 8320 with a 980 Ti - You'd get around 700FPS Steadily with Optifine, no mods, or texture packs or graphic settings changed for max detail.
I7 6700k with 980 Ti - You'd get around 1000FPS with Optifine, no mods, or texture packs or graphic settings changed for max detail.
Best Of Luck!

I'm just telling you, or anyone who would like to know, what kind of FPS difference you'd see with a FX based processor, when compared to an I7 based processor when playing Minecraft.
Best Of Luck!

I always used AMD but I hear Intel are better.. still AMD does the trick with most games.
Still depending on the Budget you have to spend.
