What is the BEST CPU brand?

[Despacito 2]

I guess its similar to the apple/android discussion. If someone uses AMD and has never had any issues with it then why change?

When I started with gaming I had AMD, and my pc broke after a couple months. So stick with intel, a bit more expensive but worth it

Do any of you Intel lovers own a ps4 or Xbox one? ;)

Yup

Yup

They blow up at all? :P

They're different.
It's an console.
Just made for gaming it doesn't need to gather information about wifi or other programs. Not to mention that Microsoft and Sony make the CPU less powerful to prevent overheating.

The more expensive alienware computers are the best you can get but those are 2-3 grand

Too bad I have one.

lmao alienware is nowhere near the best. they're overpriced garbage, you're only paying for the alienware brand, not the parts inside the pc.

But what if you got it for free?

They customise a CPU for their needs, I highly doubt their boffins say to themselves "oh AMD are prone to overheating so let's configure them to be less powerful.
Anything has a chance of going wrong, a batch of products with the smallest of errors could cause big problems for that specific batch.
The main cause of any CPU overheating is poor care by the owner, not neglect by the manufacturers.
The bios on most computers will allow you to auto shutdown a computer if its overheating, but its only got a chance of overheating if you don't take care of it and try to do too many CPU intensive tasks.
All in all, buying a CPU all depends on what cash you have available to spend and your specific needs. AMD and Intel both have good products, just check out some reviews and compare different ones before you purchase.

That's true, a bit like Apple and their products. Far superior android phones, but some people just like the fact that it's an iPhone.
Best bet when looking at getting a new PC is building it yourself. Really simple to do and you get to fully tailor it to what you need/want.

I've got an iMac and I think I have Intel xD I really have no idea

yea thats what i did

if you want a cheap cpu that lasts for around 3 months before going up in flames, get AMD
if you want a cheap gpu that causes a global power outage on use right before turning into a puddle of molten silicon, get AMD
under any other circumstance get anything but AMD.

my AMD fx-8350 is amazing; dont go with standard cooling.


Listen; I have a full AMD build
Fx 8350
And
MSI Gaming X Rx 480 8gb
For the processor its laking in power but for a budget build where most of the cash went to the graphics card it is amazing; I can record minecraft at 60fps 16-32chunk render distance.
Again; If you go with a AMD processor either go with AMD Wraith or a Hyper 212 evo or Corsair H60I; I have never used the wraith but both of those coolers ran my CPU and 60 degrees and below.

AMD graphics cards are amazing especially at the price. But for a high end build obviously go with NVIDIA and Intel but on a budget definitley go AMD graphics and AMD processor unless you want to go i5; i5 is better but cost a lot more

not gonna argue anymore. i prefer to pay a bit extra for higher quality products but if you have a very limited budget amd is the way to go
also 60fps is unplayable lol

What monitor do you have; I'm looking to get a new one and assuming that you said 60fps is unplayable I think your monitor has 90+Hz

Monitors don't increase the FPS, the amount of RAM, GPU and CPU do.
If you're wondering I game on a Samsung smart TV

Hz is basically monitor fps. I know that FPS comes from that stuff (Sorry if that sounds harsh it's not meant to).
