>Current-gen Intel & AMD processors are pretty much neck-to-neck in both performance and price.
I think this is only if you ignore multi-threading but I might be wrong, did Intel release better multi core CPUs or cut down the prices?
- lhl 6y agoThe newest Intel 11th-gen i9-11900K actually reduces core count from 10 (on the i9-10900K) to 8, although leaked performance numbers point to the new chip matching last-gen's multi-threaded performance due to a huge single-threaded performance bump. It's worth pointing out that their new chips aren't out yet ("Q1") and Intel has completely given up on matching AMD's 12C or 16C parts.
- tomnipotent 6y agoHere's the i9-10900k 10-core vs AMD 5900x 12-core. Intel comes in at about $52/core, and AMD at $46/core (assuming you can find a 5900x, good luck). https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/AMD-Ryzen-9-5900X-vs-Intel-Core-i9-10900K/4087vs4071 https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/AMD-Ryzen-9-5900X-vs-I... This chart from Tom's Hardware shows a similar story: https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/auqNuTshdmehuqLXX32BBF-970-80.png.webp https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/auqNuTshdmehuqLXX32BBF-970... AMD Zen3 has a lead on Intel 10th gen, but the cost/performance story has shifted.
- darkwater 6y agoSo AMD is still cheaper but somehow "story has shifted"? AMD is still ~12% cheaper per core and has more cores. Also, 2nd image you linked, AMD has better performance per core.
