Intel is faster

CPU performance is measured by clock speed or clock speed. This number is expressed in gigahertz (GHz) and it tells you how fast the CPU can process data. A higher clock speed means the CPU can perform better tasks. However, other factors such as the number of cores and how fast the CPU can process the instructions can also affect the CPU’s performance.

When it comes to speed differences, the battle between AMD and Intel is already close to mid-range and mid-range products. For entry-level CPUs, the Ryzen 3 models are almost as fast as Intel CPUs. For instance, the Core i38350K has the highest clock speed in this series at 4.0GHz, while the Ryzen 3 2300X and 220G models offer the same 3.5GHz. Clock speeds for mid-range AMD processors start at 3.1GHz with the Ryzen 5 2600E. In comparison, Intel starts at 1.7 GHz lower with the Core i5 8500T.

Intel offers higher clock speeds for high-end Core i7 and i9 chips. There are models in the i9 series that are about as fast as their Ryzen Threadripper counterparts. However, for this series, the Ryzen CPUs are more power hungry than Intel. So, if you want a high-end CPU that works at high speeds, but also saves power, it’s best to go with Intel.

AMD best overclock

Overclocking allows you to run your PC’s clock speed at a speed that exceeds the manufacturer’s recommendations. There are some chips that are locked, which means that the manufacturer has designed them to run only on certain clock speeds. However, there are also chips that are unlocked and allow you to overclock them.

AMD beats Intel when it comes to overclocking. This is because AMD CPUs are unlocked, even on affordable models like the AMD Ryzen 3 2200G. Therefore, they can be overclocked, as long as the motherboard chipset is also overclockable. In contrast, Intel chips are only capable of overclocking if they have a "K" at the end of the model number. They tend to be priced higher, such as the Intel Core i3-9350K.

AMD has more cores

A core is a processor that receives and executes instructions. The more cores a CPU has, the more tasks it can handle and the more efficient it is.

AMD’s main selling point is having a large core count. Intel, on the other hand, has traditionally abandoned large core counts in favor of hyper-threading. With hyperthreading, the CPU divides physical cores into virtual cores or threads to do multiple things at once. For example, a quad-core Intel CPU can turn into an octa-core with hyperthreading.

AMD and Intel core counts are on par at the entry level. Both the Ryzen 3 and Intel Core i3 models offer four cores. The same is true of high-end desktop (HEDT) models for enthusiasts. The Ryzen Threadripper models offer 8, 12, and 16 physical cores, while the Intel i9 models offer 10 to 18 physical cores.

AMD core count comes out on top when it comes to their mid-tier offerings. The Ryzen 5 chips have four to six cores with hyperthreading, while the Ryzen 7 chips have eight cores. In comparison, the Intel Core i5 and i7 chips have only six physical cores, with only the i7 chip capable of hyper-threading.

Best Performance: Toss-Up

When you compare AMD chips to Intel, AMD CPUs are great at multitasking, while Intel CPUs are better at completing single-threaded tasks. Multi-core tasks include photo and video editing programs, 3D modeling and rendering programs, graphics-heavy games, and demanding productivity applications.

Test results from Techidor show that the Intel i9 9980XE chip works best when using video editing software. The test used Adobe Premiere Pro, MAGIX Vegas Pro, and HandBrake on AMD and Intel chips. However, AMD Threadripper and Ryzen 9 came in second.

For 3D CPU rendering software, like V-Ray, AMD is a better choice. Data from TechReport shows that the Ryzen 9 3900X renders content fastest at 47 seconds. The Core i9 7900X is only in third place, showing up after 60 seconds.

Understandably, since most people only need to use general productivity applications, they will see better performance from AMD chips. For instance, benchmark figures from Tech Reports reveal that the Ryzen 7 2700X and 1800X scored higher than the Core i7-8700K when compressing zip files. As for Microsoft Excel, data from Tom’s Hardware shows that the Ryzen 7 3700X models outperform the Core i9-7920X and 9700K.
