There are many processor options on the market today, both Intel and AMD. For those who do not often pay attention to processor news or reviews, they will definitely encounter the situation of not knowing how to choose, or which one is the most recommended in this budget range? With the debut of AMD’s new generation of most powerful processor Ryzen 9 7950X3D, foreign media Tom’s Hardware has recently updated a number of comparison pictures. Four of them I think are worthy of reference. They are the “Game Performance” and “Productivity” comparisons. There is also a price tag next to each CPU, which means that you can quickly find the one with the best performance in this range based on your own budget.
4 comparison charts Intel vs AMD gaming performance and productivity, allowing you to quickly know which processor to choose today
Intel’s current latest generation processor is the 13th generation, which means the number starts with 13, such as 13900K, while AMD’s is the Ryzen™ 7000 series, and the number starts with 7. Although in terms of performance, it is basically not wrong to choose a new generation processor, but if you consider the price, some may be that the CP value of the previous generation processor is relatively high.
After foreign media Tom’s Hardware tested AMD’s latest Ryzen 9 7950X3D processor, they updated their CPU rankings and compiled a number of pictures. First, let’s look at game performance, using the Windows 11 operating system and 1080p and 1440p game image quality. Unsurprisingly, the Ryzen 9 7950X3D took the first place. Even without PBO enabled, it was better than the Intel Core i9-13900KS It’s still high, so for the price of $700, the Ryzen 9 7950X3D is better for gaming processors:
However, it is worth noting that the i9-13900K is $110 cheaper than the i9-13900KS and AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D, and its performance is only about 5%~10% lower. The i7-13700K looks better, is $290 cheaper, and has only 10%~12% lower performance.
As for the price of around US$300, the i5-13600K is undoubtedly the best choice. The clock speed reaches 5.6GHz and the measured results exceed the i9-13900K and i7-13700K. As for AMD, the Ryzen 5 7600X is also good. When PBO is turned on, the performance is greatly improved, which is better than Ryzen 7900X and Ryzen 7700 without turning it on.
Next is productivity. The Intel i9-13900KS is one step back, higher than both Ryzen 9 7950X and Ryzen 9 7950X3D. This means that if your computer is mainly used for productivity, at a price of US$699, the i9-13900KS is the best choice. Next comes the Ryzen 9 7950X, and then the i9-13900K:
The single-core results are quite surprising. The top 7 are all Intel processors:
As for the price of US$300, the i5-13600K is also the most recommended, and even the previous generation i5-12600K is also good. If the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X does not enable PBO, the performance lags behind by a large margin.
This article from Tom’s Hardware shares a lot of test data.I highly recommend reading this to anyone who is looking for a CPU., the picture can also be enlarged.
