As far as the hardware of the game console is concerned, although the graphics card is the most important part, the processor should not be too poor or randomly chosen, otherwise it will still affect the gaming experience, especially for players who are doing live broadcasts or need to record videos. There are so many processor models on the market, and for people who are not very familiar with hardware, how should they choose the one that suits them best? I believe everyone will have this question. Recently, the foreign media PCWorld announced a list of the best CPUs currently, ranging from suitable for most people, low budget, to the most powerful gaming CPU, which should give you a good reference.
According to the test report compiled by PCWorld foreign media, the most suitable gaming CPU for most people is the “AMD Ryzen 5 3600X”. The price is about NT$6,000 ~ NT$7000, which is a mid-range CPU.
PCWorld said that AMD Ryzen 5 3600X has a big advantage over its competitors’ i5 series of the same level, that is, it is equipped with 6 cores and a complete 12-thread specification (i5 is 6 cores and 6 threads), which means better multitasking and productivity performance. Its base clock is 3.8GHz, which can be increased to 4.4GHz after acceleration, and the performance is not bad.
If you want to save a little more, you can consider AMD Ryzen 5 3600. Although the performance is not as good, it still has 6 cores and 12 threads.
The low-budget segment is also AMD, model: AMD Ryzen 3 3200G, priced around NT$3,000.
PCWorld said that although this one is very cheap, its 4 cores combined with the performance of Radeon Vega 8 internal graphics can handle many games even without a discrete graphics card.
The well-known online games Fortnite, Dota 2, League of Legends, and Rocket League are all available, as well as several AAA masterpieces, such as Destiny 2, Rise of the Tomb Raider, and so on.
Of course, the image quality may need to be adjusted to 720p to play smoothly, but for a CPU at this price, it’s really a great value. Those with a little more money can also purchase a screen that supports FreeSync technology to improve the smoothness of the screen.
If you think it’s too cheap and want to choose something a little better, you can consider Ryzen 5 3400G, which has the threads increased to 8 and better multi-tasking performance.
Finally, there is currently the most powerful gaming CPU. Not surprisingly, it is won by the Intel i9-9900KS. The price is about NT$17,000.
Intel i9-9900KS has very powerful specifications, equipped with 8 cores and 16 threads. The base clock is 4GHz alone, and it can reach 5GHz after acceleration, and it is all cores. Whether playing games or multi-tasking, it can be fully satisfied.
But as mentioned before, when it comes to games, the graphics card is the most important. If you choose too poorly and the level is too low, even if the processor is so powerful, you will still not be able to get a good gaming experience.
Therefore, the prerequisite for choosing this one is that you must first have a flagship-level graphics card.
Here is the complete list
- Suitable for most people: AMD Ryzen 5 3600X
- Low Budget: AMD Ryzen 3 3200G
- The most powerful game: Intel i9-9900KS
