Q: Why do people say that AMD is better at playing games than Intel's CPU? But I think the AMD GHz is a lot worse than Intel GHz, can not be heavy GHz to see it? I don't quite understand, please explain it to me concretely. There is amd out of the game than Intel's good, what is the disadvantage of it? What's less than Intel? I am playing music is also very love to play games, in the future to take the computer to do music and so on! Please help me choose whether I should choose a or I thank you?
A: First of all, the measurement of a CPU performance can not rely solely on the main frequency.
Second, Intel and AMD have different design routes.
Intel is focused on high-frequency high-end,
AMD is focused on intermediate frequency efficiency.
The main difference lies in core process, execution pipeline, data reading mechanism, instruction set and so on.
For example, AMD Athlon3000 series, its frequency is only 2.0G (3000 E6 frequency only 1.8G) but overall performance can reach the Intel Pentium4 3.0G level. So AMD's CPU has been the PR nominal way to name their own CPU.
Because the computer is running a 3D scene relies on CPU floating-point arithmetic. Now the AMD series CPU, floating-point computing power is very strong, beyond the many intel. So the AMD series of CPUs is the first choice for many game enthusiasts.
Intel's CPU, although it says floating-point arithmetic is less capable than AMD, has a strong system storage and integer computing power. So Intel series CPU is competent for multimedia, business office and other requirements. Its ability is also more than AMD's slightly.
