Intel or Ryzen CPU?

reddit.com › r › buildapc › comments › 197bpht › intel_or_ryzen_cpu

I find that AMD tends to have better value. Especially if you go with the new AM5 platform, you’ll be able to upgrade the CPU in a few years without upgrading the motherboard. As far as performance and reliability goes, they’re both good options. Some game perform better with amd, some do better with intel, but I don’t get bogged down by that because I play more than just one specific game. Answer from GetEnPassanted on reddit.com

What’s up guys I’m about to have a lot of questions so I’m keeping them specific with each post lol

I’m embarking in a new journey of building my first PC, Reddit has given me some great info but it’s scattered throughout reddits quantum realm.

Experts is there really a difference between the two CPUs? Yes there’s of lot more options than just two, this is in regards to manufacturer wise.

r/buildapc on Reddit: Intel VS AMD

December 20, 2024 -

Is Intel still a good choice for graphic work and video editing, or is AMD really the better option now?

I’ve asked a lot of people, and most PC enthusiasts recommend AMD Ryzen. But I’ve personally experienced issues with AMD in the past—like stuttering during video editing or slow rendering, frame drops when gaming with multiple monitors open, and frequent lag. Are these problems still a thing with AMD, or have they been resolved?

Here are the CPUs I’m currently considering:

Intel Core i7-14700K
Intel Core i5-14600K
Ryzen 7 7700X
Ryzen 9 7900X

I’ve excluded the Ryzen 7 9800X3D because it’s too hard to find and scalpers have pushed the price up. Since I’m not in the US, it’s not easy to get, and ordering from Amazon would bring the total cost to around $500. So, I’ve ruled it out.

For GPUs, I’m still deciding between:

RTX 4070 Ti Super
RX 7900 XT

My Use Cases:

Gaming + streaming to one or two platforms simultaneously.
Editing and posting YouTube videos.

Does anyone have recommendations or insights into these options?

Depends a lot on your specific workload and software. But I’ve personally experienced issues with AMD in the past—like stuttering during video editing or slow rendering, frame drops when gaming with multiple monitors open, and frequent lag. Are these problems still a thing with AMD, or have they been resolved? Those generally aren't a thing that'll be related to a specific CPU. GPU drivers maybe, and in some software Nvidia stuff is indeed still strongly preferred, but again, that depends a lot on what specific software you care about.

14700K and 9700X/7700X/7700 (these three are literally all the same. Difference between 9700X and 7700 is like 3%) are equal in gaming performance. 14600K also relatively similar, roughly 6% behind the 14700K/Ryzen 700. With the 9700X you could still upgrade in the future, whereas the 14700K is pretty much end of the line. Plus intel 13th and 14th gen were committing seppuku left and right until recently. Voltage was too high for the CPUs to handle ootb. This was a huge thing. Intel claimed they fixed it, but personally I wouldn't... Take a look at the gaming performance here: https://youtu.be/2mE4YEm2L-g?si=pgQPX00aq2UAsJEE 12:50 is the average. Truth is that outside of benchmarks you won't feel any difference between them though. As for the GPU, Nvidia has better RT and AMD offers better price/performance for rasterisation. So if you place a lot of value on using Raytracing, go for Nvidia. AMD doesn't suck in RT, but Nvidia is just clearly ahead for it. Otherwise AMD is kinda the better option.

r/buildmeapc on Reddit: AMD or Intel?

January 2, 2024 -

I've been thinking about building my own PC, but I'm a little lost here since I've been an Intel boy my whole life, but now I want to get the best out of my money, and I see that there's an important percentage of builds using AMD processor and graphics.

My initial thought was just to go ahead with AMD if there's the best cost-benefit, but my problem is that I'm a vision engineer, I'm going to need to do some AI in this computer, and there's a major difference in documentation and support for Nvidia than for AMD in this area, but I also understand that there's a price gap between them two in terms of price vs performance, is it this difference big enough to ignore the AI situation and try to do it on AMD?

My budget is around 1200 to 1500 US dollars, I live in Michigan, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

The price/performance difference isn't that big - if one works better for your use case - go with that one. Lots of people are banking on AMD supporting the AM5 platform for a long time (as they did AM4) which gives you a good upgrade path.

There’s not really a big cost benefit in going amd vs Intel. AMD currently offers a nicer upgrade path for cpu since it’s motherboards will supported for likely another 2 generations, while intel’s 14th gen is the end of the line for the current Intel motherboards. Imo, stick with nvidia gpu’s if you are going to use anything which utilizes CUDA. Do you live near Detroit? There’s a microcenter in Madison heights than can be used for cpu-motherboard-ram bundles.

r/GamingLaptops on Reddit: Tell me how AMD is better than Intel

May 2, 2025 -

I'm trying to convince myself that AMD is better than Intel and worth choosing in 2025. I definitely remember having a better experience with Intel when I last upgraded from AMD, but that was a long time ago. Even though the specs clearly show better performance from AMD, I still can't bring myself to order the AMD model over the Intel one.

Both laptops are the same price. The AMD one has a better screen (though I use an external monitor) and a higher resolution (which doesn't matter to me), but it's a newer model. The architecture looks better too. The keyboard isn't the layout I prefer, but since I use an external keyboard, that doesn't really matter unless I decide to sell it.

I plan to upgrade to 32GB RAM. I use Stable Diffusion, play games, and want to try Cities Skylines 2. I'd also like GTA VI to run once it's out for PC.

I was waiting for the Strix to drop to 3000 BGN (~1500 euros), but it jumped today from ~3300 to 4300 BGN (insane ~500 EUR more). What would you say about these two options?

amd just has better power efficiency/battery life and therefore could potentially supply more wattage to the gpu

Here's the summary. If you're buying a 2024 or older model, AMD will get you way better battery life and thermals. HX Series Intel CPUs however, give by far the best performance. It's not close. If you're looking at 2025 models and comparing to Core Ultra 200 Series, whether H or HX, Intel is just as good if not better in power efficiency and so it doesn't matter what you choose.

r/laptops on Reddit: Whats better AMD ryzen 7 or intel i7 core cpu for my laptop?

October 20, 2024 -

Just wanted to know if my laptop should have and AMD ryzen 7 or an intel i7 core cpu.

I like to use laptops quite intensely for things like watching videos downloading large files such as games and playing those games.

Ryzen tends to be better with battery life, performance on battery and iGPU performance. Performance when plugged in tends to be similar between the two brands unless TDP is low, in which case the Ryzen would normally be better. Gaming tends to need a dGPU, but if you're getting something without a GPU then Ryzen would be preferable for the better iGPU. However this is a more general description. What's better all depends on the specific CPUs you're looking at

After United Airlines just broke my brand new HP 255G9 , I’m getting a full refund for it as they made me check a bag that shouldn’t have been checked and of course the computer got put away before I could take it out, realizing it was going under the plane.. the hilarious thing is is me and my friend ended up having a row each to ourselves… I think she was just trying to feel like she was in charge.. I’ve been traveling with his backpack for a decade.. not even has Spirit airline made me check it. 🤣 kind of a blessing in disguise because this thing has the AMD Athlon, silver processor. 🙄 I want to get the ryzen 7

Looking into builds for a friend and deciding on a CPU. He wants to go with an Intel i5 14400 since someone told him thats the best bang for his buck at his budget and what hes looking for. I have heard ryzen is much better for the cost, but on the CPU benchmarks, it does seem like intel is much better than AMD chips in the 200 dollar price range?

r/buildapc on Reddit: Intel or AMD CPU?

November 13, 2024 -

I don't know if its true or not but I have seen bad reviews on the Intel Core -i7-14700KF and I'm just wondering if I should just go with the AMD Ryzen 9 7900 or something that compares to it and around the same price point.

AMD absolutely for any general purpose gaming PC these days. Intel only makes sense for budget builds when you're buying those chips on steep discount and get the proper cooling to accompany it. Both AMD and Intel perform decently in modern games. You won't deeply regret purchasing either, but for upgradability go AMD.

I keep reposting this... but whatever, I'll just give you my take on the matter. I recently decided to upgrade my PC. (August 2024) I had an I7-8700 that was fantastic but wanted to jump a few generations to increase performance. I have loved intel so I went with the I7-13700k with a new MOBO and some 32GB DDR5 ram. After swapping everything and firing it up I had nothing but crashes and BSOD. During games, at idol, and the error codes were all over the place. After updating bios with all the intel instability fixes and making sure all the fun stuff was turned off on the CPU it still crashed every 30 min or so... While under the Amazon 30 day warranty I decided to pull out all the new hardware and do a 180 switch to an AMD build. I went with a Ryzen 9 7900x, AMD5 socket MOBO and new ram just in case. Since changing everything to AMD I haven't had a single problem. It just runs and it runs well. I've always loved Intel but this last go round they burned me good with their 13/14th gen problems that they are trying to hide and say it isn't a problem. I will probably not go back to Intel and am happy with AMD. You do you! But that's my story!

r/buildapc on Reddit: Amd vs intel cpu's

June 9, 2025 -

Reading through here because I need to make a rather cheap upgrade to my 8700k+mobo due to some hardware problem I've been chasing

I see that the vast majority are going for AMD. I've built my pc's forever and I'm very used to the intel nomenclature and I'd rather not switch unless it's the logical approach

Why are virtually no people buying intel? Are we still in the degenerating CPU saga of the last generation of intel cpu's and they are not safe to buy still? I'd go with a mid-line new generation intel with a MSI overclockable motherboard. Thank you

The problems with Intel CPUs: They tend to be slower than AMD CPUs in gaming. 90% of the people in the sub are building gaming PCs. They draw a lot of power and create a lot of heat. This affects your electricity bills and requires you to buy a better cooler. Worst of all, they are mostly on a dead platform. Very few people are buying the current generation Core Ultra 200 CPUs because they are actually slower at gaming than the previous generation. So, people are buying the 12th/13th/14th gen CPUs. These are on the LGA1700 socket which has already seen its last CPU. AMD, on the other hand, has promised support for the AM5 socket until at least 2027.

Why are virtually no people buying intel? Because Intel sucks at the moment. Veterans here aren't brand-loyal, we're product-loyal. Intel sucks now. If AMD sucks next year, then we'll go back to recommending Intel. Simple as that.

r/buildmeapc on Reddit: AMD vs Intel for Gaming PCs in 2025: Which CPU Should You Pick?

July 30, 2025 -

I’m planning to build a new gaming PC in 2025, and I’m torn between AMD and Intel CPUs. I’ve been digging into comparisons, and it seems like AMD’s Ryzen 9 7950X3D and 9800X3D are dominating gaming benchmarks with their 3D V-Cache tech, offering killer frame rates in titles like Baldur’s Gate 3 and Elden Ring. Intel’s Core i9-14900K and Core Ultra 9 285K, on the other hand, seem to shine in single-threaded performance and integrated graphics, but they’re pricier and less power-efficient. For those of you who’ve built or upgraded recently, what’s your take for gaming on AMD vs Intel in 2025? Are AMD’s X3D chips worth the hype for pure gaming, or does Intel still have an edge in certain scenarios? How much do factors like price, power consumption, or future-proofing (e.g., AMD’s AM5 socket longevity) sway your choice? Any pitfalls to avoid, like Intel’s reported instability issues or AMD’s stock shortages? Share your builds or experiences

It really depends on what kind of games and on which resolution you are playing. On 4k for example the performance between a 7600x and 9800x3d for example is barely there. For 90% of The games. Only cpu heavy games such as flight simulator for example will give benefits on higher resolutions. https://youtu.be/gpN4nyftQ3Mm

Avoid 13th and 14th gen Intel core processors. They are prone to the "Vmin shift instability issue"

r/GamingLaptops on Reddit: Difference between AMD Ryzen and Intel Core

March 9, 2025 -

What are the differences between AMD Ryzen and Intel Core? I am thinking about playing low-mid end games and maybe making some projects on that.

Also specifically, is AMD Ryzen 5 good for my needs?

CPU wise they’re different. RYZEN approaches performance by tuning all of their “performance” cores, while Intel has compensated low power with smaller cores but many of them. In any case, you will need to see benchmarks for the laptops you’re planning to buy. SoC wise, AMD has the upper hand on iGPU, but video encoding is better on Intel and NVIDIA.

To a general use, there is not a lot of difference, they both essentially do the same thing. I think that Ryzen CPUs tend to be more power efficient, which could help for long battery life laptops, but that depends on generation and model, so you'd have to look at the specific CPUs available for a computer you're interested in.

July 3, 2023 -

I’m a beginner and building my first PC soon. But I cannot decide if I want AMD or intel. I heard intel generates less heat and is way faster on average than AMD. But I also heard the same the other way around and people recommending AMD because it’s cheaper.

Anyone here tried both? What do you recommend?

Honestly, either one is fine in terms of performance. Competition between AMD and Intel is really close right now, there's no definitive better CPU, it all depends on the price you can find them for. For Intel you can safely go with anything from the 12600K to the 13700K. AMD has some strong contenders from the 5600 to the 5800X3D. Ryzen 7000 is also really great, but the overall cost of adoption for AM5 is still higher than both AM4 and LGA 1700. To have a better picture of the current CPU market, check this video from JayzTwoCents: This is a real issue for PC enthusiasts...

its just depends on ur budget (or if there is a crazy deal) anyway imo its go like that: super budget-> amd 5600 semi-budget with upgrade options -> amd 7600 same gaming performance as the cpu above but with very strong productivity ->intel 13600k if u maxed GPU, the best gaming cpu ->amd 7800X3D if productivity is number one priority (it also have very good gaming performance but inferiors to 7800x3d) -> intel 13700k or 13900k *the best gaming cpu for the value is amd 7600, and also option to upgrade *the best productivity/gaming to the value is 13600k imo if u not sure take one of them.

So im looking at getting my first pc and im looking at some and some of them have AMD Ryzen CPUs and some have Intel Core CPUs. i only really know anything about Intel and their CPUs so now that ive seen these im confused. im planning on using this pc for FiveM, Roblox, and maybe Ground Branch. can someone please explain to me why i should get an AMD Ryzen CPU vs an Intel Core CPU or the other way around? they obviously both have their benefits and both have their downsides. any help is appreciated.

7800x3d is the fastest gaming cpu. 7950x3d is second fastest for gaming. 14900ks is third fastest for gaming. 14900k is the fourth fastest for gaming. 13900k is the fifth fastest for gaming. 7900x3d is the sixth fastest for gaming. If needing other options we can compare some of them. 12600k = 5700x in gaming 12400f = 5600x in gaming 13400f > 5600x, but < 5700x in gaming 14400f = 12600k in gaming 12700k = 5950x in gaming 13600k = 5800x3d in gaming. 12900ks = 5700x3d in gaming Somewhere between a 12900f and a 12900k = 5600x3d in gaming 7600x is similar or barley worse than a 13600k in gaming. It depends on how much cores the game uses. 7700x is similar or barley worse than a 13700k. Depends on the game title. 13600k > 12900ks 14700k > 7950x in gaming 13900k = 14700k in gaming 13900k and 14900k had issues in dx12 titles which intel blamed on bad mobo bios. Even after the bios update, some chips needed to be manually configurated to be stable just a fyi. Intel has advantage because of cores and clockspeed over non x3d chips of ryzen, but amd ryzen has advantage because of x3d cache over the k intel cpus, therefore clock speed doesn;t matter hence why a 7800x3d still beats a 14900ks. 7900x3d was built bad so its the exception to the x3d rule. am5 also allows upgradability while you stuck on 14th gen of intel.

Won't really matter at all for 99,9% of users. Just get whatever fits your budget.

I'm on the process of upgrade my PC. Currently I'm looking to get a new motherboard and CPU and comes the question, intel or AMD. It's to pair up with a rtx 5070 ti. Psu is 850w 80 + gold. Case I will upgrade to a nzxt h7 flow with arctic water cooling. Budget for CPU will be around 250-300€.

So far I've been looking to get a gigabyte motherboard, the b760 gaming X ddr4 + i5-14600kf. Main purpose gaming and work. Mostly gaming. Upgrading to RAM ddr5 is out of the question for now since the prices... Well everyone knows.

Upgrading to RAM ddr5 is out of the question Well, then you certainly won't be looking at AM5. 14600K / 14700K are probably the best CPUs you can buy and still use DDR4.

If you're not looking at ddr5, then go with intel

r/buildapc on Reddit: Honest reviews and performance AMD vs Intel,

September 28, 2023 -

*Retitle: Im confused and about the big AMD and Intel and actual performances

I have looked around and ive always used Intels i9 & i7 series,However more recently alot of people and reviews say different things, about "what is best".Ive looked into the Ryzen 7 & 9 series (7000's) and they make similar or not more hardware performance than intels current gens (from what ive seen by 5-10%).

The issue i have is ive had amd products before, and i have amd GPU now. Ive had such immense issues with their drivers, software, bugs and more. Surely i can deny the power of their hardware but when it doesnt work i get so frustrated... so i hear alot of AMD this Intel that. But is it nowadays just more to taste?

I will never have a AMD Gpu for the forseeable future, however i dont know anything about their CPUs, there i want honest reviews and stuff since i cannot be spending so much money into a rig and then have to trace bugs and drivers for non functioning "softwarefunctions/intellegens".. especially when its going to run on boost clock speeds.

So what is ur recommendations?

Tech i've been looking at high end spectrum, compared to a 4080-4090 setup:

13700k (f), 13900k (f), 7800X3d, 7900X, 7950x, 7950x3dAnd ive really been looking at the difference between 7800x3d and i7 13700k and i9 13900k

It's mainly about features. AMD's X3D CPUs have 3D V-Cache, which can improve performance significantly in a lot of games. Intel Chips have P/E Cores which are great for productivity workloads. For a pure gaming build, a 7800X3D will be the best option. If you're looking into content creation 13900K/13700K are better suited. You can't go wrong with either nowdays, both brands offer chips with great performance at competitive prices.

CPUs don't have drivers like GPUs. The CPU is what the operating system is running on directly. And AMD and Intel both run on exactly the same instruction set, so for the operating system there literally isn't even any difference between an Intel and an AMD CPU. The GPU however is a separate piece of hardware, meaning the operating system needs a framework through which to communicate with it, which are the GPU drivers. While I don't agree that AMD has worse drivers than Nvidia, it certainly cannot be an issue in the case of CPUs. There are no drivers, and an x86 operating system (Windows, Linux, etc.) runs just as natively on an AMD CPU as on an Intel CPU.

r/buildapc on Reddit: does intel or ryzen have more advantages over each other other than raw performance?

May 25, 2023 -

what i mean is, is there something like significant software features that only intel has and AMD ryzen doesnt (or vice versa) like how its the case with Nvidia/AMD GPUs?

Intel's internal GPUs have some better features for video decoding/encoding. However, this isn't worth mentioning if you have a video card. Intel also has better Virtualization features. If you don't know what this means, don't worry about it. Intel is MUCH easier to get Thunderbolt 3/4 support for. Intel used to have exclusive rights to Thunderbolt, so in the past AMD was not able to offer it. Today, Thunderbolt is available to both companies, but there are not many motherboards for AMD that offer it.

AMD has the added benefit of longer support for older chipsets, so you can stretch your mobo farther if you're one to upgrade your processor every couple years. Ryzen 1000 launched in 2017, and a lot of the launch (non-budget) motherboards got Bios updates that took them all the way into the 5000 series CPUs last year. With the new AM5 stuff, they've promised to support the AM5 through 2025, so everyone is assuming/hoping that means we can upgrade our CPU 2 generations past the generation of our AM5 launch boards. Intel only ever does 2 generations on a given socket (launch gen 12, upgrade CPU to gen 13, gotta get a new mobo if you want a gen 14 chip, for example). Right now (AM5) AMD chips are also a little down on their price-to-performance of their Intel counterparts (13th gen), but they are more power efficient. That makes them theoretically easier to cool. They can also be pretty heavily tweaked with undervolting/power limiting to push efficiency/cooling even further, and counter-intuitively this can actually yield better performance from stock. That's assuming you're comfortable/willing to mess with stuff like that. Out of the box, Intel is doing better as long as you cool them.
