1
00:00:00,359 --> 00:00:09,080
first up of course is to figure out which you prefer between AMD or Intel

2
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:10,840
right wrong we do not shop by brand we

3
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:14,879
shop by what delivers us the best performance features and quality for the

4
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:19,119
money we're spending and just to make this Crystal Clear AMD and Intel both

5
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:23,160
make extremely high quality microprocessors so let's move on to that

6
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:26,760
other stuff step one if you already have your PC and your upgrading is to make

7
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:30,320
sure you're shopping for CPUs that actually fit in the fracking motherboard

8
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:34,640
that you're planning to use don't feel bad about needing to look it up Intel

9
00:00:32,239 --> 00:00:39,440
for example maintains current generation products across two different physical

10
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:45,000
sockets at any given time and often has a trailing older socket along with more

11
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:49,520
complex electrical incompatibilities so go ahead ask a friend next step is to

12
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:53,879
look at what delivers more bang for your buck within your target budget

13
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:58,239
Performance used to be simple the younger viewers may be surprised to hear

14
00:00:55,800 --> 00:01:02,600
that not only did AMD and Intel CPUs used to perform the same clock for clock

15
00:01:01,079 --> 00:01:07,680
but they even fit into the same motherboards at one point comparisons

16
00:01:04,960 --> 00:01:12,520
were easy whoever had the faster clock speed was faster and the megahertz war

17
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:17,799
was born then everything started changing because the megahertz or

18
00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:19,680
gigahertz or frequency of a CPU became

19
00:01:17,799 --> 00:01:25,079
no longer any more meaningful than gauging the performance of a car by how

20
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,840
many RPMs the engine spins at I mean

21
00:01:25,079 --> 00:01:31,799
yeah it's a it's a useful metric somewhat but only if we have other

22
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:36,960
information at the same time so let's talk about this other information number

23
00:01:33,960 --> 00:01:39,479
one we need to know how much work a CPU

24
00:01:36,960 --> 00:01:45,479
can perform with each of those Cycles how many instructions per clock it can

25
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:47,840
perform if CPU a ran at 2 GHz and did

26
00:01:45,479 --> 00:01:51,920
one instruction per cycle and CPU B ran at 1 GHz and did two instructions per

27
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:56,680
cycle then they actually do the exact same amount of work so the only way to

28
00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:01,759
measure which one is really better is by running real world tests but just like

29
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:06,399
putting a car on a Dyno and measuring Peak horsepower running one test or one

30
00:02:04,399 --> 00:02:11,280
Benchmark isn't the be all and end all of CPU performance either modern CPUs

31
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:15,040
have multiple processing cores inside them and while some benchmarks will

32
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:19,400
measure the top speed of a single core with more power redirected to it in a

33
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:24,080
turbo mode other benchmarks will tell us more about how that CPU behaves with a

34
00:02:21,920 --> 00:02:28,239
heavier load that's spread across all the processing course a multi-threaded

35
00:02:26,239 --> 00:02:33,040
test and other tests will tell us you know if the CPU has enough C to keep up

36
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:38,440
with a particular workload in a perfect world you want to find websites that

37
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:41,720
test the exact applications you're using most frequently so you know exactly what

38
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:45,920
you're getting and that's the only way to figure it out but let's continue the

39
00:02:43,640 --> 00:02:50,480
car analogy for some people it isn't just about how fast you go what about

40
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:54,879
Creature Comforts like air conditioning and cruise control CPU reviews from

41
00:02:53,159 --> 00:02:58,480
reputable sites like tech report Hardware connects and PC perspective

42
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:02,519
will give you a rundown of other important information like power power

43
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:06,040
consumption heat output security features maximum supported memory

44
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:11,280
expected overclocking limits for Tweakers and so much more and once

45
00:03:09,159 --> 00:03:16,360
you've got all of that information you are ready to make a non Fanboy tastic

46
00:03:14,239 --> 00:03:21,400
decision about what gives you the best value for your money before plunking

47
00:03:18,239 --> 00:03:23,519
down your hard-earned cashola but if all

48
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:26,280
that sounded like way too much work and at this point you're just kind of

49
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:30,400
sitting here going oh I can't believe I'm watching this not to worry head over

50
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:34,200
to linch tips.com and post asking for a recommendation in the CPU section I

51
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:37,560
personally guarantee you'll get the help you need we've got an awesome community

52
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:42,760
over there Speaking of awesome communties audible.com is Tech Quick's

53
00:03:39,879 --> 00:03:46,599
longest running sponsor and without our community members heading over to

54
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:51,000
audible.com tequi when they get a hankering for an Audi book well I I bet

55
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:54,959
they wouldn't want to do that anymore an audible membership is worth checking out

56
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:58,239
for a few reasons guys number one is that by signing up for the monthly

57
00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:02,680
service you get their great listen guarantee for hassle free exchanges in

58
00:04:00,519 --> 00:04:05,760
case you pick up my life as a White Trash Zombie by Diane Roland and you

59
00:04:04,439 --> 00:04:09,640
meant to get Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Jane Austin don't worry you

60
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:13,159
can exchange it and the other big one for me is that aside from the one audio

61
00:04:11,599 --> 00:04:16,680
book included per month you get a discount on additional ones as part of

62
00:04:14,799 --> 00:04:21,320
your membership but wait there's more hold on the first one is free with a new

63
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:24,880
membership so head over to audible.com tequ and check it out today you'll love

64
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:27,919
it and if you don't you can cancel the membership with no hassle anyway that's

65
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:34,160
yet another benefit see how I threw in that other benefit so what have you got to lose accept that disgusting growth on

66
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:35,759
your forehead Joe don't have one that's

67
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:39,520
what I thought and I guess there's no excuse guys thank you for checking out

68
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:43,440
this episode as fast as possible like and share it if you liked it dislike it

69
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:47,520
if you thought it just totally sucked and leave a comment suggesting future

70
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:51,000
episodes as fast as possible and don't forget to subscribe so that you don't

71
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:55,320
miss the episodes as fast as possible that you suggest now I'm going to just

72
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:59,880
move fast and wildly for a little bit to wreak havoc on my editors who are trying

73
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:03,039
to Green Screen this I think we're done here
