Comparison and Contrast of AMD and Intel Based Processors

There are two main brands dominant CPU manufacturers in the market
they are Intel and AMD. The rivalry of Intel vs AMD has been going on for some years
now. You will have to pick one manufacturer where your pc will be based of which has
its own benefits and flaws.
Brief History of AMD or Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. Advanced Micro Devices was
formally incorporated by Jerry Sanders, along with seven of his colleagues from
Fairchild Semiconductor, on May 1, 1969. Sanders, an electrical engineer who was the
director of marketing at Fairchild, had, like many Fairchild executives, grown frustrated
with the increasing lack of support, opportunity, and flexibility within the company, and
decided to leave to start his own semiconductor company. Robert Noyce, who had
developed the first silicon integrated circuit at Fairchild in 1959, had left Fairchild
together with Gordon Moore and founded the semiconductor company Intel in July
1968.
While Intel was founded in Mountain View, California, in 1968 by Gordon E. Moore
(known for "Moore's law"), a chemist, and Robert Noyce, a physicist and co-inventor of
the integrated circuit. Arthur Rock (investor and venture capitalist) helped them find
investors, while Max Palevsky was on the board from an early stage. Moore and Noyce
had left Fairchild Semiconductor to found Intel. Rock was not an employee, but he was
an investor and was chairman of the board. The total initial investment in Intel was $2.5
million in convertible debentures (equivalent to $18.4 million in 2019) and $10,000 from
Rock. Just 2 years later, Intel became a public company via an initial public offering
(IPO), raising $6.8 million ($23.50 per share). Intel's third employee was Andy Grove, a
chemical engineer, who later ran the company through much of the 1980s and the high-
growth 1990s. Intel has been founded 1 year earlier than AMD.
In terms of pricing AMD outranks Intel with budget -friendly price, AMD’s top of the line
processor is the Ryzen 9 3950X it boasts 16 cores and 32 threads, exceeding the
previous flagship, its costs are about ₱ 42,000 in the cheaper side of AMD it has AMD
Ryzen 3 3300X and AMD Ryzen 3 3100 which costs around ₱ 6,000 and ₱ 5,000. It
delivers an impressive power in both single and multi-threaded performances. On Intel’s
side their top of the line model Core i9-10900K which costs ₱ 24,000 and boasts 10
cores, 20 threads and a boost of 5.3GHz. on their budget-oriented CPU’s, it has Intel
Core I3-8100 priced at ₱35,519.00.
In the Performance side of things some of AMD’s processor has integrated graphics
which is good for low to mid-grade gaming, high quality graphics rendering and video
streaming at a low price. AMD processors tend to run hotter than their Intel
counterparts. so, a supplementary fan or liquid cooling system is a must. With Intel each
of their CPU has its own integrated Intel HD or Iris graphics, so you can play most
mainstream games or stream quality video right out of the box, no matter what CPU you
pick. However, like AMD if you like to play graphically demanding games, render 4k to
9k videos, you’ll need a GPU.
In the end when choosing you have to consider What will it be used for at most times.
What is the intention of buying the CPU? There could be multiple reasons like gaming,
daily light usage, intensive image/video editing and processing, programming etc. and
lastly is budget this changes a lot if you have less budget you’ll have to compromise on
performance.
