ИТОГИ ГОДА: процессоры Intel и AMD

Hello! In touch MK! So it came to the end of 2019 year so it’s time to let its processor results. And I must say, the year turned out extremely successful - but how this usually happens not for all. AMD was able to double the number of cores in desktops Intel boasts top capable processor work at 5 GHz for all kernels. Which of the companies showed yourself from the best side in In the year 19 we will talk. A couple of years ago, 4-core Core i7 was considered chic for home pc.

00:32 - But in 2017, AMD revealed that it is not presenting Octa-core Ryzen 7. And this summer, when Intel would seem to have returned self leadership thanks 8-core Core i9-9900K red the company announced 12- and 16-core Ryzen 9, the latest of which went on sale only recently. Moreover, the funniest thing output of the 16-core “pebble” nailed not only homework a line on the LGA1151v2 socket, but also amounted to serious high-performance competition processors on the LGA2066. The new Ryzen 9 3950X at times outperforms the 18-core Core i9, what drove Intel down double their price - and that’s it equally they don’t look too attractively on the background a monster from AMD that can put in almost any board on a regular socket AM4. But, of course, such multi-core CPUs are designed more for home workstations - of course, you can play but still have solutions significantly cheaper fps on which will be slightly higher. These are simpler rulers.

Ryzen 7 with 3700X processors 01:39 - and 3800X, as well as Ryzen 5 3600 and 3600X. The first have 8 cores and 16 threads with real frequencies above 4 GHz. This allows them in computing challenges to compete with the Core i9-9900K, consuming at this significantly less energy. As for games, the top from Intel here remains undefeated, although AMD solutions in places come close critically to him. But everything puts on its own places price tag: for 8-core Core i9 in Russia is asking for order 35 thousand rubles, but Ryzen 7 3700X will cost as much as 10 thousand cheaper.

02:17 - So if you are not professional gamer using fhd ​​monitor with a frequency of 240 Hz and RTX 2080 Ti, then do not overpay for the decision from Intel. And, of course, the company released followers its best seller line Ryzen 5, which includes many favorite 6-core Ryzen 5 1600 and 2600. Such love is understandable: cheaper than 10 thousand rubles can get 12 threaded processor that playfully copes with all modern games and far from the last place in the calculation tasks. In the third generation AMD is not began to change the configuration cores - both Ryzen 5 3600 and 3600X there are also 6 of them, but because of the best Zen architecture 2 they are capable to compete with once the top 6-core i7-8700K, which is still for sale already twice as much as them! However, not all processors the new Ryzen line can call successful. Take, for example, the same Ryzen 5 3500 having 6 cores without hyperthreading and for sale in Russia for 9 thousand rubles.

03:20 - In its performance in work tasks he is slightly outperforms the Core i5-9400F with such same core configuration however in games it turns out significantly worse. And okay, a solution from Intel cost much more - no this core i5 can be found for a little more than 10 thousand rubles what does Ryzen 5 do 3500 is not the best solution for purchase. The same applies to new APU - Ryzen 3 3200G and 3400G. Their predecessors, Ryzen 3 2200G and 2400G were enough popular: still, for the price, less than 4-core Core i3-8100, you could get its performance and in the appendage integrated graphics level Nvidia GT 1030, which somehow copes with most games at minimum graphics settings. What has changed in the new APU? Zen architecture has changed on Zen +, which allowed to finish 200-300 MHz to the processor frequency and 150 MHz to the integrated frequency Vega Given that overclocking AMD’s previous APUs did not prohibit problems get almost same performance they are not, which means no and the point of overpaying for news one or two thousand rubles.

04:31 - But still one of the new APU turned out to be enough profitable - it’s about dual core Athlon 3000G. Apparently, AMD was lying around a lot of unnecessary crystals on Zen architecture and company decided them that way recycle at $ 50 a piece. But seriously, the previous one Athlon 200GE was good for everyone except locked multiplier therefore, overclocking was available not on all boards. Now there is no such problem - AMD gave its overclock its blessing, but at the same time and cut the price by making a new Athlon is an excellent office processor or base for further upgrade. By the way, fans to buy zeons, raisens of the past generations and other iron I always recommend on Ali use cashback service Fly the shop.

05:17 - What is cashback, I think explain to my audience not necessary. Letishops collaborates with the largest seller base with cashback up to 12%. Install extension for the browser and it will do everything for you! Remind about activation cashback, and on aliexpress still and show seller rating and how the price changed, not did he inflate her so that make a fake discount. Withdraw money is very convenient and quickly, directly to the map or online wallet. Link to Letchops I leave in the description below the video.

05:50 - As a result, at the end of 2019 AMD is doing just fine: AMD shares set a record for all time, the company dominates desktop sales processors, and with the release its 12- and 16-nuclear monsters “Buried” practically all desktop solutions competitor. But let’s see what Intel responded to this. We will not be again say that the “blue” so serious problems with the development of 10 nm process technology, what will be released in early 2020 already the fifth (!!) generation processors for all those same 14 nm. And this stagnation is very slow company: if 4 cores per worked in such technical process excellent, then heat dissipation 6-core Core i7-8700K at times goes for 150 watts, and in the 8-core Core i9-9900K and even for 200 - slightly too much for home processor, right? And what is Intel doing? Right, it hits in marketing. First, the company crushes on that in real user applications and games them decisions are better AMD processors in by and large the truth.

06:56 - However, the company prefers forget that with the “real user applications » even cope effortlessly Pentium five years ago and in the calculation of new items from AMD is still faster. And of course in their promotional materials Intel is silent that prices on her decisions one and a half times higher than competitive CPU from the “red”. The second step the company produces Core i9-9900KS with selected crystals, able to work on 5 GHz for all cores in official heat dissipation as much as 127 watts. Of course this processor became the best solution for games loving several fast cores however its hard to call adequate: overwhelming most ordinary core i9-9900K able to work at least 4.8 GHz, so real difference in performance with a novelty it turns out a few percent.

07:44 - But the price difference is often reaches 5-8 thousand rubles, which is just beyond reason. Another Intel Solution for overcoming processor shortages became the release of “defective” solutions with disabled integrated graphics. It really has meaning: the latter takes about a third of the area of ​​the crystal and extremely rarely used on purpose in processors Core i5 or higher. At first, there was an incident with them: such CPUs cost so much same as the integrated version graphics that made new items useless. However, Intel quickly thought better of it.

and now sells processors 08:18 - with index F without “integryashka” Significantly cheaper: Core i5-9400F officially costs 157 dollars, and for the Core i5-9400 they ask already 182. Also this year the company expanded the range of non-accelerated CPU, some of which it makes sense to buy. Take, for example, the Core i9-9900. Its maximum frequency on all cores - 4.6 GHz, which just 100 MHz less than the more expensive Core i9-9900K. Given the fact that from the last overclock guaranteed only squeeze out 200-300 MHz, performance difference between them about 5-7%, which is absolutely not critical. But, by and large, 2019 turned out to be unsuccessful for the company: in top sales everywhere Ryzen 3000, and Intel has nothing corny to cover.

09:06 - Release of the same Core i9-9900KS can be called desperate step - they say, look everything, 5 GHz on all cores, excellent game processor. In this case, the way it is and there is, but its price was absolutely unreasonable and often even higher than the 12-core Ryzen 9 3900X. But let’s see what companies will release in 2020 year - maybe Intel can recoup? What awaits us in 2020? Desktop processors Ryzen 4000 and 10th Gen Intel Core. The first ones are likely to be just modified Ryzen 3000: raise the frequency, maybe IPC, will teach to work with more high frequency ram and so Further. Actually, given the fact that Ryzen 3000 turned out to be Significantly better than most Intel home solutions such there are enough improvements so that users are actively began to buy a new generation CPU from AMD.

10:00 - Intel at the beginning of the year will release next generation of processors on 14 nm process technology. And the company comes again on the same rake: if AMD for socket AM4 will release four processor generations then Intel again after two generation creates a new LGA1200 socket which is physically not compatible with current LGA1151v2. As for the new processors, then again this is not what we waited. The top Core i9 will now be 10-core: not bad, but on 14 nm manufacturing process costs get ready for a huge heat, and obviously what performance up to 12- and 16-core Ryzen him will be far away. For the same reasons failed raise frequencies: yes, boost on a single core, the Core i9-10900K can reach as much as 5.

3 GHz, but at 10:51 - real tasks even 5 GHz on all cores will be available except when using CBO, so the same Core i9-9900KS sometimes it can be a little faster. Cheaper rulers also will please a large number cores or threads. So, now the Core i5 will be 6-core and 12-line, like Ryzen 5. Given that in general and the whole Core i7-8700K which similar to future i5 core configuration and frequency, it turns out to be somewhat faster Ryzen 5 3600, new Core i5 can become interesting solutions if Intel doesn’t price to them. Another unexpected blow on desktop processors Intel steel announced early 20 mobile AMD Ryzen 4000.

11:37 - So, the top-end Ryzen 7 4800H has 8 cores and 16 threads with a frequency up to 4.2 GHz with heat at 45 watts and according to AMD he turns out to be faster than the 8-core Core i7-9700K with heat at 95 watts. So Intel is clearly time leave the old 14 nm process technology as a loss by heat already double. As a result, we see a funny picture: AMD and Intel have changed in places. If earlier decisions from AMD were niche, mostly losing to competitors from the camp of Intel, now everything exactly the opposite: processors Blue companies are good only in games, but in all other tasks are “red” CPUs are cheaper and faster.

12:22 - And, apparently, in 2020 Intel, which, by the way at 10 times more than AMD will not be able return everything as it was - necessary wait 10, but most likely and 7 nm process technology, but, alas, last for company still quite distant and a vague future. .
