Processor For PC Build Up

Picking and selecting the best and right processor (CPU) for gaming is worth for playing games and gives you the required FPS. It can also work quite well in other programming software like photo and video editing, Graphic designing, Music Making studies usages and more. You can also over clock the processor and get more cores and speed and not need to worry about multi-tasking.

There are two types of Processor Intel and AMD. The choice is yours. Which one to buy? Which will be compatible with your motherboard? And yes buying the CPU without knowing the compatibility of the motherboard will cause you problems. Now it depends on you to choose the CPU to buy the best and required one. Here the list of CPUs that would be satisfying for playing games.

IntelCore i9 10900K

· Cores-10

· Threads-20

· Base Clock-3.7GHz, Turbo Clock-5.3GHz (Overclocking=Yes)

· PCIe-3.0

· L3 cache-20MB

· TDP-95W

Intel Core i9 10900K

This CPU can give you the best result you can ever have and imagine. It may the first Intel CPU that manage to squeeze 10 processing cores in the mainstream line up and yet gives over clocking upto 5.3GHz. If you are going with this one, you’ll need a Z490 motherboard and some good and serious cooling machines. This is the most costly and therefore can give you higher frame rate and good gaming performance.

IntelCore i7 9700K

· Cores-8

· Threads-8

· Base Clock-3.6GHz, Turbo Clock-4.9GHz (Overclocking=Yes)

· PCIe-3.0

· L3 cache-12MB

· TDP-95W

Intel Core i7 9700K

Intel Core i7 9700K is an exciting step down from the last gen i9 9900K. It has same number of CPU cores and has similar clock speeds. Intel has shipped a Core i7 without Hyper-Threading. This is the opposite tack that Intel has taken with the recent Comet Lake processors where it has enabled Hyper-Threading throughout the stack.

It’s all about balancing act between prices, performance, and features. And the 9700K balances better than most. It’s faster than the outgoing Core i7 8700K. The lack of Hyper-Threading also means that the i7 9700K doesn’t get as hot as the Core i9 so that you can get by with a good air cooler.

Intel Core i5 9400F

· Cores: 6

· Threads: 6

· Base Clock: 2.9GHz, Turbo Clock: 4.1GHz (Overclocking Yes)

· L3 Cache: 9MB

· TDP: 65W

· PCIe 3.0 lanes: 40

The Core i5 9400F is also a good choice to buy and play games. It’s slightly faster than the previous-gen i5 Core 8400 but ditches the Intel Integrated Graphics completely. There are other compromises, like the locked multiplier—no Over-clocking here. But you can save money and grab an H370 motherboard. At least you get a cooler in the box, something we’d like to see as an option with every CPU. Most boards will happily run the 9400KF at 3.9GHz as well, so don’t worry about the low base clock.

AMD Ryzen 9 3900X

· Cores: 12

· Threads: 24

· Base Clock: 3.8GHz, Boost Clock: 4.6 GHz (Overclocking: Yes)

· L3 Cache: 64MB

· TDP: 105WPCIe 4.0 lanes: 16

AMD Ryzen 9 3900X

AMD Ryzen 9 3900X

AMD’s third-generation Ryzen CPUs provide the company with its best performance showing ever in our gaming CPU tests. The 3900X may not be the absolute fastest gaming CPU, but its close enough at the settings and resolutions gamers use, and it’s clearly the most powerful CPU outside of games.

The price of AMD’s Ryzen 9 3900X is same as the last-gen Core i9 9900K, but it includes a decent Wraith Prism cooler and packs 50 percent more cores and threads. That translates into 8 percent slower gaming performance, but 25 percent faster performance in multi-threaded workloads like video editing and 3D rendering.

If you’re very much obsessed with gaming, that 8 percent deficit is only really apparent at lower quality settings and a lower resolution with the fastest GPU available (RTX 2080 Ti at 1080p ultra). While over-clocking is possible, AMD locks you into a single clock speed, and that usually means lower clocks in lighter workloads. Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO) can give up to 200MHz higher performance while maintaining turbo ratios and is the better solution for the 3900X.

AMD 7 3700X

· Cores: 8

· Threads: 16

· Base Clock: 3.6GHz, Turbo Clock: 4.4GHz (Overclocking: Yes)

· L3 Cache: 32MB

· TDP: 65W

· PCIe 4.0 lanes: 16

AMD 7 3700X

Stepping down on price and core counts from the 3900X, the Ryzen 7 3700X is nearly as fast in games and has all the other benefits of AMD’s Zen 2 architecture. That includes PCIe Gen4 support, which isn’t necessary today but might become useful during the coming years. Compared to Intel’s i7 9700K, it’s about 9 percent slower in gaming performance—again, at 1080p with an RTX 2080 Ti. If you buy a sensible GPU like AMD’s RX 5700 XT any difference in gaming performance is going to be mostly meaningless. Elsewhere, in multithreaded applications, it’s about 18 percent faster, and overall it wins the matchup at both performance and price

AMD Ryzen 5 3600

· Cores: 6

· Threads: 12

· Base Clock: 3.6GHz Turbo Clock: 4.2GHz (Overclocking: Yes)

· L3 Cache: 32MB

· TDP: 65W

· PCIe 4.0 lanes: 16

The Ryzen 5 3600 is a little bit behind the 3900X when it comes to gaming and other tasks, but the emphasis is on the word ‘slightly’ for a reason—it’s typically a 5 percent difference or less. You better choose a midrange GPU like the AMD RX 5700, or even the previous generation RX 590. You still get a 6-core/12-thread processor, and outside of games, the 3600 is about 40 percent faster than Intel’s 9400F. But then, the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 also costs more. It has the other benefits of AMD’s Zen 2 architecture, like PCIe Gen4, and AMD’s CPUs have also had far fewer issues with side-channel attacks like Meltdown, Spectre, Foreshadow, and MDS.

You can also look at the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 X as a small step up in performance but the vanilla 3600 can over-clock a bit better thanks to a lower starting point, effectively matching its more expensive sibling

AMD Ryzen 5 2600

· Cores: 6

· Threads: 12

· Base Clock: 3.4GHz, Turbo Clock: 3.9GHz (Overclocking: Yes)

· L3 Cache: 16MB

· TDP: 65W

· PCIe 3.0 lanes: 16

The Ryzen 5 2600 has just as many cores and threads as the 3600, but it’s clocked a bit slower. It can run in all the same socket AM4 motherboards as any other Ryzen CPU. If you are having enough money and want to upgrade to a good negotiable price point CPU, this one is also a good choice.

The earlier Ryzen CPUs are not quite as adept at gaming, but again that only matters if you’re using a top-tier graphics card. Even with a 2080 Ti, at 1080p ultra, the fastest CPU in gaming only beats the 2600 by 12 percent on average. With a sensible mid-range graphics card, you’ll never know the difference.

This CPU can also do over-clocking potential with the 2600. Most of the Ryzen CPUs are multiplier unlocked, but the X-series parts can perform nearly as fast without over-clocking. Because the 2600 has lower starting clocks, you can still over-clock upto 4.0GHz on all cores (and maybe a bit more), making up for any deficit.

AMD Ryzen 5 3400G

· Cores: 4

· Threads: 8

· Base Clock: 3.7GHz, Turbo Clock: 4.2GHz (Overclocking: Yes)

· L3 Cache: 4MB

· TDP: 65W

· PCIe 3.0 lanes: 8

While talking about budget, the Ryzen 5 3400G is the best budget gaming solution, however, in that it includes relatively potent integrated graphics. Compared to Intel’s UHD Graphics 630 found in the 8th and 9th Gen CPUs, the 3400G’s Vega 11 Graphics is typically 2-3 times faster. Where Intel’s UHD 630 often struggles to break 30fps even at 720p and minimum quality, AMD’s Vega 11 can legitimately handle 1080p and low to medium quality at playable frame rates. Or you can drop to 720p and usually break 60fps.

Just make sure the motherboard you buy includes the requisite HDMI and/or Display Port outputs. Many X470/X570 boards skip those ports, as the other Ryzen CPUs lack integrated graphics.

If you have more budget and willing to buy a better one, the Ryzen 5 2400G is the same basic design with slightly slower clocks, or the Ryzen 3 3200G and Ryzen 3 2200G drop SMT support.

AMD has been gaining ground on Intel in the world of CPUs since Ryzen appeared in 2017, and today it’s easy to justify buying CPUs from both companies. I have collected different articles from internet and went through Youtube and done research about these products and finally found the best options for you. As we know AMD has been gaining fame against Intel but none the less both are quite similar and also give similar performances while gaming. But I personally like Intel Chipset more because I used AMD PC less. But yes, both gives beyond imagination result.
