Are you an Intel man or an AMD man? (Non-tech gods stay out)

[My2Cents]

You’re my man <3 you’ll enter me whenever you want

 

[Cor van Vooren]

Lots of outdated opinions ITT.

Intel is better for gaming. The end.

Who bothers building a computer for workstation tasks? If you're a graphic designer who needs AMD's multi-threading maybe, that's about it. It's a normie processor for people who use on-board graphics (lmao)

Not sure if trolling or still stuck in 2010. Hopefully you aren't giving advice to anyone that is considering building a PC.

fuck intel, i'll support the first 64bit cpu producer til i die. I aint ever spending a dime on intel cpus

Running a Cray computer seems a bit expensive

 

[Gref]

Dumb thread. Everyone on sherdog is 6'4 255lb lean benching 275 which means we run Intel ONLY cause we're not poor.

Rick thinks Intel users are plebs.
We finally know where Rick (from Rick and Morty) stands on the Intel vs AMD debate

Okay, so here are the things we know:

• Rick uses a 128-bit AMD CPU — the QX3700+ (@7.99hz). Many have speculated the Q stands for quantum computing, but we’re yet to confirm it.
• The PC has what appears to be a 393,912.1 GB SSD NVME M.2 drive. That’s nearly 400 TB of space.
• It also seems to have 3,584,825,480 GB of RAM — overkill if you ask me.
• The system runs a Linux distribution, developed by Debian.

I’d be curious to find out on which side you Mayberrians align yourselves. Let hear it!

@Dragonlordxxxxx please make a poll?!

I've always stuck to what my first computer was. It was a Pentium 3 1GHz PC that my parents gave me that I upgraded with more ram and an AGP ATI Radeon 9250 128MB graphics card from my local PC store. I was about 12 at the time and it led me to learning more about computer hardware. Since then I have always gone with Intel for the CPU and AMD(previously known as ATI Radeon) for the GPU

The Intel CPU's I have owned over the years are:

Pentium III 1000 - 1GHz
Pentium D 820 - 2.8GHz
Pentium Dual Core E2140 - 1.6Ghz OC'ed to 2.2GHz
Core2Quad Q9400 - 2.66GHz OC'ed to 3.2GHz
Core i7 3770 - 3.9GHz (current)


ATI/AMD GPU's that I've owned:

32MB GPU that came with my first pc, can't remember the name or what happened to it
ATI Radeon 9250 128MB
ATI Radeon X800 pro 256MB
HIS Radeon HD 3850 AGP version 512MB
Powercolor Radeon HD 4870 1GB
XFX AMD R9 280x 3GB (current)

Indeed. There's obviously quite a few in here who haven't heard of the R5-3600 or R7-3700X.

Homer uses Intel


Bender is AMD though

 

[IloveTHIS]

Sounds suspect. 5ghz stable on a 2500k would need some super srs cooling if you are running games etc. What vcore was is running at?

Not really. look into it. What you think I imagined it?

5ghz is nothing crazy on a 2500k. You'd have to be really lucky to get one to push much further, but 5 all day for years and years. I'm telling you, that chip is legendary.

I Know the chip. Pushing it to 5 is certainly doable but keeping it stable under load for long periods is something else entirely than running prime for 30 mins. 4.6 to 4.8 range was usually used so you didn't have to use closed loop wc and even with that 5 is a stretch for long sessions with max load.

You would also have to be lucky and get a really good chip. (about 5-10% of 2500k will run 5ghz stable) Have a top end MB etc.

So what cooling was used and what was the vcore under load?

 

[My Spot]

Intel, because they’re still king when it comes to gaming.
Also, the Core 2 Duo E8400 is my all-time favorite.

 

[GhostZ06]

both, im not a tool who or one of the intel cock suckers.


i like both equally.

 

[hillelslovak87]

I just built a new box and my friend was trying to push the new AMD Ryzen on me HARD, to the point where he was straight up lying about a bunch of shit.

First off there's a requirement for onboard active cooling. He says there isn't, but I saw the damn fans myself they're built into the boards.

Second, decreased performance at higher temps. "You'll barely ever encounter this!" Actually it is something you're going to encounter realistically on a daily basis. I'd rather have my Intel crash at 100c rather than have a slow as shit game at 80c and THEN crash at 100c.

Third, "IT RUNS BETTER ON COUNTER STRIKE". Wow. Really breaking the boundaries of new technology there. Even if it does run better on that one game, all you're doing at that point is getting a higher number and equivalent visual performance to the eye.

Fourth, they talk up that shitty stock cooler like its such a money saver, but if you do OC (which has limited gains btw) it basically becomes worthless.


Don't get me wrong my intels have always had their problems, but literal LIES haven't been one of them.

My Ryzen 2700 has had zero problems with high temps whatsoever. I've never even seen it reach above 65 under heavy gaming load.

The Wraith Spire Cooler was dogshit though. Great temps, but loud as hell. Got a Scythe one and it's silent.

I don't know what you're talking about in relation to motherboards being affixed with fans for these chips though.

Lastly, "Even if it does run better on that one game, all you're doing at that point is getting a higher number and equivalent visual performance to the eye."

Better visuals and framerates are why people upgrade their hardware....

Intel dominated market since I remember. Not the cheapest mind, but in general more advanced.

the prism seems to truly be a lot better than the spire. fwiw, if anything at all...

There’s 2 different Prisms. You want the early ones, the newer ones that come with the 3000 series are louder but they perform the same.

The Prism held my 3700x to 78 degrees at 4.2 but it was loud AF.
You have to remember when talking 3000 series they measure temps from a different location.

oh, that sucks. i thought they were the same as the 2000 series prisms.

 

[jefferz]

It’s still more than adequate cooling wise. The new ones aren’t insanely loud, about like a blower gpu but not as high of a whine.
Personally I wish CPU’s didn’t come with coolers.

 

[Blayt7hh]

I always had AMD up until about 2013. Since then i've been buying Intel and Nvidia products. They're just more reliable and usually better. You pay for it though
