Which processor is better?
Reading through reviews they both seem well equipped. CPU Benchmark rates the AMD at 14625 (1879 single core) and the Intel at 16153 (2722 single core). So according to them the Intel looks better and as well has a much better single core performance. The thing is that the AMD has 8 cores able of handling 16 threads, while the Intel has 6 cores able of handling 12 threads. Hence, it looks like the multi-threading performance of the AMD is better than the Intel. The price difference is notable though. The Intel is currently at about $380 while the AMD is at $300, 21% cheaper.
Is there any difference in functionality between the two? It would be horrible to order one and to later find out that some functionality isn't available with on, but would be working with the other. The needed functionality is virtualization, multi threading, 3D stuff through the graphics card.
- AMD Ryzen 7 1700X
