we know that some of you are just going to skip to the conclusion anyways so we're going to make your life easier for short answer is AMD is a viable alternative to Intel has a few initially we had wanted to do an in-depth exploration into things like cash hierarchies and IMC peculiarities plus infinity fabric inside a Verizon running at half of the memory cloth.
but I mean let's face it if you guys checking and games render times in professional applications and a side dish of power consumption in storage before we even get there though we need to talk about when
we build up our two competing test benches it became obvious why some people see Andy as the the poor man's choice between and tells higher CPU
for lack of a decent included cooler on their K Series champs R&D platform was over $60 cheaper you guys probably noticed that we're running at different memory speeds and tells IMC actually does tend to handle high frequency kids better than Angie's , but they're spec is actually more conservative and we're leaving overclocking out of this comparison today so this is bone stock apples versus officially supported Apple's first up in these are gaming benchmarks to only the small group of Andy Fanboys who insist on remaining willfully ignorant for some reason in the overwhelming majority of cases Intel's 8700 K defeats
the ryzen 7 2700 X and in some cases like in GTA V by a substantial margin I mean performance depending on the resolution of 4K result would be GPU bound on pretty much any more if our recent video about system is anything to go by
with that in mind you can put down your pitchforks hashtag Easton be encountered a situation where are gaming experience at the same graphical settings of course went from playable on the 8700 k 2 unplayable on rice it just doesn't change that the 8700 K is better for gaming.
And that's even before you get into a like cs go are the record in our testing enabling gaming mode via AMD ryzen Master software actually dropped the FPS across the board with like two exceptions and requires a restart in between mode
so we're not huge fans of it are ryzen 7 2700 exit out of the 11 tests we ran and he's offering alright 19 sometimes putting significant distance between itself and the blue team was 50% faster which it should be noted does affect aspects of your systems performance Beyond just unzipping the files you download from the internet 2% faster while multi-threaded cinebench was 28% faster I mean until did remind Andy who the single-threaded boss was by beating it by 15% and singles result so basically a tie depending on who you ask but there's more to life than CPU performance let's take a look at some of the quality of life differences what's that game load times were affected when we move between
platforms even with the exact same drive we found a variance of up to 15% each way with Intel on average ending up about 5% faster than AMD and like the differences in gaming benchmarks this isn't something that you would immediately notice in a Pepsi challenge taste test but it is their power consumption was also about 10 more tired idle and 20 watts hire under load on The Andy platform storage options that each platform features because we really feel that this is an excellent way to get better than hard drive performance while not giving up on capacity a little while ago but in summary until has off Wonders on game load times and then from AR testing amd's score am I is more cumbersome to use with some unpleasant limitations
for the big winner if you watch that video what you probably said was actually a third-party software called so there you have it and choose a less expensive solution compared to Intel and it mostly losses in gaming so proud about AMD being a second-rate solution that does have some Merit to it unfortunately
but I just said is actually true of you than AMD is a great choice mean really the only thing that could disqualify either of them at this point is platform stability and Rising has matured a lot since its initial launch to the point where as long as you don't need store am I the final answer comes down to what your mixes and as usual it depends are you a 60% productivity person who games on the side go ryzen and don't look back you saved a buck but you still got a great system what's wrong with that are you the gamer who froze together the occasional headshot compilation video well you might want to go graphics cards comes more FPS that can be unlocked with a faster gaming CPU.
