What is best processor for gaming
Best CPU For Gaming 2020 [WINNERS] - Buying Guide For Gaming Processors
[Music]
while it may not be the most important
hardware component in a gaming PC a good
CPU is still paramount if you want
everything to run smoothly now we talked
about CPUs a lot already so if you want
to know more about their technical side
then check out some of the videos linked
in the description so instead of doing a
grand intro let's dive right into the
thick of things with our list of the
eight best gaming CPUs 20:19 has to
offer first up we have two excellent
budget solutions to showcase what from
Intel and one from Rison these may not
be the cheapest CPUs you can get but
they're as affordable as it gets without
seriously compromising the gaming
experience so if you want a reasonably
priced CPU that'll be good for the
foreseeable future and won't bottleneck
your GPU then feast your eyes upon these
first up we have the Intel Core i3 8100
it's the first 8th gen III CPU by Intel
and as you may know the 8th gen is the
one where Intel really had to step up
their game thanks to AMD finally
providing some good competition in the
form of their rise in CPUs overall the
i3 8100 is an excellent budget CPU with
four physical cores and a high base
clock speed like all intel core CPUs it
does come with integrated graphics but
these graphics hardly offer any gaming
value whatsoever so they shouldn't even
be an afterthought when deciding whether
to opt for Intel or AMD its overclocking
potential can also be entirely
disregarded as it can only be
overclocked via B CLK when used with
some relatively expensive motherboards
which you shouldn't be buying in the
first place if you're going to buy a
budget see you what's a bit cooler
though is the fact that the i3 8100
comes with Intel option support that can
enhance system performance thanks to
small caching SSDs this was a way bigger
deal when the CPU only came out and SSDs
weren't nearly as affordable as they are
now but it still
something that can come in handy if
you're building a budget gaming PC it
may look like we're disregarding all the
extra features and we are but honestly
the bare-bones experience that you get
with the i3 8100 is enough to make it
worth your consideration still if you're
looking for the most cost effective
budget CPU then you should turn your
attention towards the AMD Rison 320 200
sheet on paper this cpu and the previous
one don't appear all that different
they're both 14 nanometer quad core CPUs
with integrated graphics and similar
clock speeds but there are three things
that distinguish 220 100g as the more
appealing option firstly there are the
vega 8 integrated graphics that are in a
completely different league than the
ones found in the i3 8100 on average
vega 8 outperforms the competition by an
actual hundred percent and it can
actually handle 720p gaming
exceptionally well not that you should
rely on integrated graphics for a gaming
pc in the first place unless you're
really on a tight budget but at the very
least it's a reliable backup that you'll
always be able to count on secondly the
2200 G CPU is unlocked so you can
overclock it with pretty much any AMD
chipset now granted it's not like the
CPU has an insane overclocking potential
or anything like that mostly due to the
stock cooler having a relatively small
heatsink but it's still a cool feature
that can breathe some extra life into
your PC and thirdly it's cheaper the
fact that the Rison 5 2200 g does so
many things better than the i3 8100
while still being a good $20 cheaper is
actually mind-boggling so if we had to
recommend one of these CPUs over the
other we definitely go with the Rison
still well there is a lot to love in
these two budget solutions you'll
probably want something more powerful if
you're a hardcore gamer this is where
the mid-range CPUs come into play and
the best thing is when it comes to
gaming PC's a good mid-range CPU it's
actually good enough not to slow down
even the most powerful GPUs making them
the ideal solution for
people again we'll be featuring two
models one from Intel and one from AMD
and starting off with a bang we'll give
you the Intel Core i5 9600 K this 9th
Gen Intel CPU is one of the most
powerful mid-range gaming solutions ever
thanks to an incredible single core
performance that is unmatched in this
price range on paper it may not look
that much better than the previous a3
8100 what with the same 14 nanometer
lithography and only slightly faster
based clock speed and just two more
cores without hyper threading but on
paper specifications can be and are
deceiving an i5 9600 K definitely has a
lot going for it most importantly it is
an unlocked CPU meaning that you can
overclock it with any chipset that
supports this feature to which extent
you'll be able to do so however will
depend largely on the cooler you buy and
you will need to buy one separately
because like all of intel's unlocked
cpus the i5 9600 k doesn't come with a
stock cooler of any kind the potential
is definitely there and it is impressive
but this also makes it one of the less
cost-effective mid-range CPUs
additionally it's not as good at
multitasking and most of Fry's ins
models in this price range but this
largely boils down to the lack of hyper
threading so if you need a CPU that's
specifically for gaming then this
shouldn't be an issue as a single core
performance is much more important when
it comes to gaming than multitasking and
as far as single core performance is
concerned there are no mid-range CPUs
that can go head-to-head with the i5
9600 K now that was an impressive
mid-range CPU if we've ever seen one but
is it the best to answer that we'll have
to see how the AMG Reisen 520 600 K
stacks up and at first glance it looks
to outperform the i5 9600 cake quite
handily sure it's base clock speed is
lower by a hair but it's got twice as
many logical cores and a 12 nanometer
lithography it doesn't come with any
sort of integrated graphics but if
you're looking to buy the best mid-range
gaming CPU then you're way past
integrated graphics anyway what it
have however is a stock cooler better
than most and great overclocking
potential and all of this at a lower
price so while we may trigger a lot of
Intel fans here we have to go with AMD
on this one as well it's far from a
decisive victory but there's no denying
that it's the more cost-effective
solution of the - sure it's single core
performance is a bit worse but the
margin between them isn't big enough to
make much of a difference and then we
have the high-end CPUs the big guns the
most powerful and the most expensive
solutions out there technically we could
divide the following four CPUs into two
tiers high-end and ludicrous but since
you won't need anything more powerful
than the mid-range solutions even if
you're running an RT X xx atti we've
decided to bunch them all together if
only to underpin the idea that high-end
is too high-end for gaming when it comes
to CPUs still if you plan on running
some professional software in addition
to video games or you plan on running
multiple GPUs at once then these are the
CPUs you should look towards a good way
to describe the i7 9700 K would be to
say that it's like the i5 9600 K on
steroids
it excels at the same things but to a
greater extent so you can expect an
absurdly powerful single core
performance and an overclocking
potential it's sure to leave no gamer
wanting but by the same token it shares
many of the i5 9600 case- features most
notably while it does bump the core
count to eight there's still no
hyper-threading which is a bit of a
bummer considering the price so if you
need a high-end CPU specifically for
gaming then this is your best option as
the eight cores are more than enough and
the single core performance is just
phenomenal and the same thing goes for
the high-end AMD solution the Rison 720
700 X just like the Rison 520 600 X this
one is a 12 nanometer CPU that focuses
on multi-core performance thanks to its
incredible eight cores and sixteen
threats it comes with the Magnificent
Wraith prism RGB cooler but it's
overclocking potential
still a bit lacking compared to the
previous Intel CPU unsurprisingly it
also costs less than its until made
rival and while it may appear that AMD
is again offering more for less money
it's important to keep in mind that
anyone looking to buy a high-end CPU is
also probably looking for some serious
jaw-dropping performance and while the
rise in 720 700 X is no slouch it does
have a slightly more limited
overclocking potential there actually is
an Intel Core processor that features
eight hyper-threaded course but you'd
have to enter the real heavyweight
category for that as the processor we're
talking about is the I $9.99 hundred K
now this beast of a CPU can actually
handle multitasking better than any
mainstream 2nd gen rise in CPU can all
the while retaining the amazing single
core performance that intel is known for
but the asking price is too high and the
specs too much of an overkill for this
to even be necessary for gaming still
it's not the biggest overkill in this
video as that honor has to go to the
risin thread ripper 29:20 this 12 chord
24 thread monstrosity of a cpu is one of
the best cpus for multitasking you could
get it's bad for gaming of course not in
the sense that it couldn't keep up with
you or whatever you decide to throw at
it but simply because like the I $9.99
hundred K it's just too overqualified
for gaming plus unlike all the
mainstream rising CPUs it uses a special
to your 4 socket which limits your
choice of motherboards and hampers
upgrade ability so why are we even
showcasing CPUs like these last year
well we wanted to illustrate just how
unnecessary high-end CPUs are for gaming
sure the last two examples were
glaringly too powerful but the first two
are genuinely overpowered as well it's
best to draw the line at mid-range
now all that's left to do is to decide
which of these CPUs is the right fit for
you and once you decide on the price
range this basically boils down to
age-old debate of Intel versus AMD we've
made a whole video where we discuss only
this topic so do check it out if you
want to know more the links in the
description but for now here are the
basics there are really only two things
to consider when deciding between these
two companies the performance and the
price performance wise it's important to
keep in mind that single core
performance is the most important kind
for gaming and as we've stated numerous
times already
insult processors generally have AMD
beat rather handily in this regard as
such Intel CPUs do outperform their AMD
counterparts across the board there's
simply no denying this however the thing
that we'd like to emphasize is that this
difference in performance is by no means
astronomical and should never amount to
more than 5 FPS so if you're setting
your sights exclusively on gaming then
going with Intel will ensure that you're
getting the most out of every penny you
spent but the difference here is
marginal and while the best multi-core
performance that AMD offers isn't as
important for gaming we have to remember
that this isn't the only thing that an
AMD CPU brings to the table certain
models with integrated graphics like the
rise in 320 200 G are phenomenal and can
hold their own for gaming exceptionally
well if you're building a PC on a budget
of around $300 all the while leaving you
with an excellent upgrade path and then
there is the price until CPUs may have
slightly better single core performance
but it's undeniable that AMD cpus are
more cost effective as they're not only
cheaper but also come with better stock
coolers all at all while until may have
been the only companies to turn to for
gaming CPUs a couple of years ago the
situation has changed drastically since
the release of the rise in line of CPUs
so both Intel and AMD CPUs are equally
good options right now and that about
does it for the
video the bottom line is both AMD and
Intel are perfectly viable but AMD does
offer better value if you're on a budget
at least that's the way that we see it
we'd love to hear what you guys have to
say so feel free to agree or disagree
