**The Battle of the CPU: Intel vs AMD**

In recent times, the CPU market has been heating up with new releases from both Intel and AMD. As an extra 99 user, I've had the chance to try out some of these latest models, including the Intel Core i9-12900K, a 10-core, 20-thread processor that's a significant upgrade over its predecessor. But how does it stack up against AMD's offerings? In this article, we'll delve into the world of CPUs and explore the pros and cons of each.

**The Intel Core i9-12900K**

With its 10 cores and 20 threads, the Intel Core i9-12900K is a beast of a processor that can handle even the most demanding tasks. But what really sets it apart is its ability to turbo up to and past 5 gigahertz depending on the SKU. This means that users can expect performance boosts in games and applications that require intense processing power. And with Intel's new Precision Booster Overdrive feature, users don't have to manually overclock their CPU to get the best possible results.

**The AMD Ryzen 9 5900X**

But AMD is not to be underestimated. Its Ryzen 9 5900X processor offers a similar 16-core, 32-thread experience, but at a lower price point than its Intel counterpart. And with its Ryzen Master software, users can take full advantage of the CPU's capabilities, including overclocking and precision boosting.

**The Battle of Value**

So how do these two processors stack up in terms of value? In my opinion, AMD's Ryzen 9 5900X offers a compelling alternative to Intel's Core i9-12900K. While the Intel processor may offer slightly better single-core performance, the Ryzen 9 5900X makes up for it with its multi-threaded prowess. And at a price point of $399, it's a steal compared to the Intel processor's estimated price of $520.

**The Battle of Mainstream Performance**

But what about mainstream processors? In this category, both Intel and AMD have offerings that are worth considering. The Intel Core i5-11600K offers excellent performance for gaming and content creation, but its overclocking capabilities are limited compared to the Ryzen 9 5900X. On the other hand, the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X is a great option for those who want a balance of performance and price.

**The Battle of High-End Performance**

Finally, we have the high-end processors. The Intel Core i9-12900K offers exceptional performance for gamers and content creators, but its overclocking capabilities are limited compared to AMD's Ryzen 9 5900X. On the other hand, the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X is a powerhouse that can handle even the most demanding tasks with ease.

**The Final Verdict**

So, what's the verdict? In my opinion, AMD's Ryzen 9 5900X offers a compelling alternative to Intel's Core i9-12900K. While both processors have their strengths and weaknesses, the Ryzen 9 5900X makes up for its slightly lower single-core performance with its exceptional multi-threaded capabilities.

coalition gaming and today I'll be your computer technician real quickly for you around here and our Inc 2 PC hardware gaming and streaming content then make sure to hit that subscribe button and a little bill so you don't miss a single upload anyways let's get to it intel has finally responded in what I would call a proper way to AMD's rapid consumer desktop superiority the Intel 10th gen CPUs from top to bottom present a far more attractive option to AMD options than they used to hyper threading is now enabled across the entire range except for cell runs which is fine those are the lowest end anyways no doubt this is definitely response to the core and thread count superiority that AMD has developed with all that being said Intel is doing this still on 14 nanometer and I'm not sure how many plus lines there are at the end of that 14 anymore 5 anyways let's start from the bottom up shall we all prices are tray prices as far as the slides everyone has seen gold which means that they're both price per 1000 units expected single unit consumer prices are likely to be 20 to 30 dollars more the Pentium Gold Series coming in with two cores and four threads with the G 6400 having the cheapest price shown at 64 dollars needless to say these won't be these won't really hold a candle to the $85 rise in five 1600 af6 core so the value to these is pretty low well at least for anyone wanting to use their PC for anything more than just basic office use where the 10th gen stuff starts to shine is the entry-level AI 3 Series long story short what used to cost in the 300 to 400 dollar range in the i7 67 hundred and seventy seven hundred K chips basically now exists as ID threes for half the cost it's pretty crazy honestly well not really but the drastic change at AMD brah in short amount of time to cause this that's what is at the bottom we have the i3 10100 fork or a thread CPU with the base clock of 3.6 gigahertz and the turbo of 4.3 on a single core four cores and eight threads is still absolutely enough for a rock-solid gaming computer and enough even for some basic game streaming - if you lean on something like n bec this cpu coming in at 122 dollars with the final consumer price probably landing around 150 will be Intel shining gem in the budget sector from there the speeds and prices go up but there doesn't appear to be an unlocked variant the final price of the fastest clock i3 the 10 320 will put it too close to the risin 5 6 core so its value starts to go down a lot moving up the stack one more notch we get into the sixth core 12 thread I 5 CPU range basically these are i7 8700 K CPUs with and without the cake for over $100 less only two generations later ouch depending on where the price is land on the locked cheaper version these actually might be very competitive in the market with the risin 5 CPUs though with those cheaper ones coming in between 157 and $262 before consumer market so think like 185 to 285 probably moving up the stack again we come into the former top dog range the I sevens this part hurts what used to be an i-9 9900 k is now an i7 10700 or 10 700 K or K F or just F for probably $100 cheaper than a 9900 K ever what 8 cores 16 threads on Intel might be as cheap as 320 ish dollars with the most expensive 8 core probably landing around 395 finally we've reached the i9 range at the bottom is the 10 900 F then the 10 900 then the K F the the K just a reminder F means no integrated graphics which means no quick sync or backup graphics for troubleshooting which translates a lower value for your money a cores these are not the AMD effect strikes yet again pushing these CPUs to 10 cores and 20 threads if you're an extra 99 user and got a 70 900 X 900 X or 10 900 X and didn't need extra pci lanes rip your wallet my estimated final consumer price these will land at will probably be about 450 for the 10 900 F at the bottom then around up to 500 $20 for the big dog ten nine hundred K at the top anyways long story short with these new 10 core consumer I nights and the unlocked I sevens they can turbo up to and past five gigahertz depending on the SKU also it seems Intel is producing an AMD precision booster overdrive competitor with something you called thermal velocity boost only available on the I nines from what I gather this will pick the best scores look at some other variables which will probably be temps and voltage and turbo them even higher up to 5.3 on a single core or 4.6 to 4.9 depending on SKU on all cores what I like about this that enabling all these features can sort of eliminate the need to manually overclock like it does with AMD risin there will be situations where overclocking still Mets positive results but it could be in the majority of tests that turning all the automatic overclocking functions is so close to almost as good that you might as well not even bother I like that so here's where the vs. part comes in in my opinion which current rise in CPU is a competitive alternative to the Intel current also including the rising 3 the news browsing 3 3000 series battle of the value quad cores I 3 10 100 $150 estimate goes up against the $99 rise in 3 3100 winner risin optional winner rise in 5 1600 AF for $85 if you can find it and can do with the little less FPS performance battle of the mainstream six cores I 5 10 400 F no I GPU no overclocking $185 estimated price vs. risin 5 3600 no I GPU 175 $299 currently and overclockable winner risin 5 3600 but by a narrower margin this time the i5 10 600 K isn't even worth considering with how much more expensive it is by comparison the ex $100 better spent on a GPU Battle of the mainstream eight cores overclockable died 710 700k $395 estimated price value the i7 10 700s three hundred and twenty-five dollars estimated price versus the risin 730 700 X currently going on sale for about two hundred and ninety five dollars winner rising against the ten 700 F a case can be made if you just want to go intel against a 10 700 k well unless the thing the only thing that you do is game and want the highest frame rates the risin wins but if that's the case you're probably better suited getting an i5 instead and putting the money savings to a better GPU battle of the high-end consumer chips overclockable the I'm 910 nine hundred K ten core $520 estimated price value by nine ten nine hundred F ten core four hundred and fifty dollar estimated price versus the horizon nine thirty nine hundred X 12 core winner risin nine thirty nine hundred X again unless the only thing you do is game and want the highest frame rates the Rison wins but again if that's the case then you might as well save the money and get it high seven or even i-5 and put it towards the GPU if you're a streamer and want multitasking + FPS I suppose the case can be made but it's also hard to deny the extra multi-threaded performance of the 12-course 1300 x that you'll need because it also gets really great fps and games something can be also said for the eye the risin 9:39 50 X 16 core which games as good as their 3900 X but has even higher multi-threaded performance and it's going to be probably not too far off the cost of the eye 910 core alright that was a lot of information if you made it this far drop a comment down below telling me what you would go with in each of these situations and
