The difference between Intel processors and AMD CPU in details

Processors are the main and direct responsible for executing commands inside your computer, command applications, identifying processes, postponing tasks, and speeding up other tasks, and the faster you notice this, the faster your computer's performance will be.

 Processors form the main brain of any computer or electronic device and are an integrated circuit equipped with an infrastructure to supply it with electricity

Companies are competing fiercely for the fastest and best processor they may ever own by reducing its size, increasing its speed, reducing energy consumption and keeping it affordable.

The Working Principale

Processors are usually referred to as central processing units (CPUs) for digital devices, as they are the main and primary part responsible for converting raw data into usable information, and their power is measured in hertz, and the higher their number per second, the more powerful the processors are. The essence of computer processors is the ability to process machine language instructions and codes and convert them into data that humans can understand. Therefore, there are three basic instructions in machine language that processors can perform:

1- Transferring data from one place in the memory to another place.

2- Moving to a new set of instructions based on logical operations or available options.

3- Perform arithmetic operations using the arithmetic and logic unit.

The other important part inside the processor is the control unit that receives data from the memory and determines its addresses, and we may consider it the main controller inside the processor or the device in general.

The different parts between one processor and another:

Processors differ among themselves in several things, including power consumption, size, and heat spread, but the most important is the structure, which means the number of real cores (cores) inside the processor and the memory of this processor (cache), where the number of cores can be likened to people who have bags to transport something What, the bag is a memory, the more people there are, the faster they move a larger quantity, and the larger the bag, the larger the quantity, and the higher the speed of one person, the productivity also increases, and these are the processor parameters (number of cores, speed of one core and cache) for it

Processor selection criteria

- The number of cores: the higher the number of processor cores, the stronger the performance

- "Clock Speed": the number of tasks it can perform per second, and its power is measured in Hz

Business field or category: The choice in the case of games differs from graphic design and programming, as well as from regular computers, as each field has its own specifications.

Budget: The higher the speed, efficiency, and accuracy you want, the higher the price of processors, and hence the higher the overall hardware price

- The newness of the processor: (processor generation) The more modern the processor, the higher its quality and speed in carrying out tasks, and this keeps you completely away from the device suddenly stopping and the appearance of the blue screen due to the extreme temperature.

Power consumption: The lower the power consumption in relation to processor performance, the better effect is evident in mobile and phone processors

The most famous manufacturers of processors

If you want to buy a new PC, or you already have one, then you will find the hardware processor in a large proportion between one of the two main options; Intel and AMD processors. Intel doesn't just rely on manufacturing processors, but it also develops graphics cards, motherboards, flash drives, and wired and wireless network adapters. As for AMD, it has not manufactured its own processors since 2009, but rather uses external factories to manufacture them at the same time that the Intel processors that it built have spread in many countries around the world.

Among the most popular treatments produced by the two companies until 2017 are the following:

It comes after Intel Core processor family, which is the i3, i5, or i7, and the difference between the three types is as follows:

First: Core i3

This series of Intel processors contains only two real cores in addition to the so-called (Hyperthreading), which fools the operating system and adds a virtual kernel for each core in the processor, which means that one core will run two separate processes as if they were two cores, but they have the same cache And, the same methods and the same physical parts of course, this will help increase the performance, but it is not compared to the move to a processor with four core cores, and this is what we will mention in the following, but if your use is limited to surfing the Internet and watching movies, this processor will satisfy very appropriately.

Second: Core i5

All of these processors contain four physical cores, including two cores with the feature (Hyperthreading), but with better performance and a smaller size than Core i3, and these processors represent a good balance between price and performance for the average user, and they also contain Turbo Boost that works on performance The processor increases significantly when pressed.

Not all software will benefit from these two additional hubs, but video editing software, Photoshop and a lot of games will make the most of the four cores and offer great performance at a great price. If you are a fan of games and video editor and want a processor with a medium price and high performance, then this type of processor is very suitable for you.

Third: Core i7

These processors are similar to a Core i5 quad-core processor with Hyperthreading in addition to the Turbo Boost feature and the overclocking characteristics found in the advanced generation Core i5 processors, and it is noticed that the difference between Core i3 and Core i5 was very large compared to the difference in performance between Core i5 and core i7, but if you are a programmer with large and complex projects and graphic designers, or if you like games then this processor is the perfect for you.

AMD processors:

AMD has a low cost advantage for a multi-core processor, as it relies on other companies for its manufacturing process. The logic of assembling a large number of cores within a single processor, and the most important characteristic of these processors is their concern that their processors always have a relatively good graphics processor that meets the needs of most designers, and the most important advantage is the very low cost compared to Intel, and we can evaluate the power of AMD processors compared to Core i3 on As follows:

AMD A6 is compared to core i3 processor, AMD A8 processor is compared to Core i5 processor, AMD A10 processor as well as AMD A12 are compared to Core i7 processor because both processors have almost the same performance

But there is a problem that most users of this type of processor may suffer from, which is heat, as AMD has always relied on cooling it with strong air, while Intel relied on distributing heat in the conductors and then cooling it easily, so the user may do that. I think AMD has processors that heat up quickly, however, this is not a drawback, as it is the origin of its design, and it can withstand higher temperatures than Intel.
