Intel 2500K vs AMD 1100T

[savagex805]

Considering switching to a 2500k, whats a decent mb. under $100 for sure.

[remixmasterx]

@savagex805 dont get 2500k wait 2 months for ivy bridge (3rd gen intel processor) intel i5 3570k for same price as 2500k google it if you want..

[savagex805]

@remixmasterx Thinking of second hand... will the 3570k work with 1155 MB?

[DieDistroLupe]

Is that a dog in the background?

[frozenyoghurtify]

got a 4.3 ghz clocked i5 with a 100 $ aftermarket cooler... runs at 60 degrees celsius at full load, and mashes thru games like nuthin

[mbaseballpro2]

Ok I get that intel is better but the overclocking part is wrong the phenom x6 has gotten alot higher then around 4ghz.

[SANDYKKWOLF]

Author mega noob

[Guy9998]

I really wish I had done more research and especially watched this video before I bought my 1100T. Not that it's terrible for what I do but I'm having a bit of buyer's remorse. I hope when Ivy Bridge comes out the Sandy Bridge CPU's go down then I'll probably switch over to Intel unless Piledriver proves to be worth its salt.

[elgreco1114]

unfortunately I'm stuck with AMDs. Need to change motherboard to change my CPU and to change motherboard means I need to re-install decades of programs and settings in my PC. Maybe manufacturers should start consider that compatibility issue too..

[buzz9961]

i love intel :D

[sync2412]

I still stay at the AMD :)

[SirtubalotTX]

The 2500k is definitely a good processor but it's not all that and a bag of chips vs the 1100. If you are replacing your motherboard and going to play games at anything lower than 1080p.. then I might go for the 2500 but other than that? The 1100T is a steal and plays games JUST fine.

[TheMortalpain]

@SirtubalotTX i play all my games at 1080p and over with my 550ti and my 2500k explain that?

[SirtubalotTX]

@TheMortalpain Explain what? I have not seen benchmarks specifically for the 550ti at 1080p for both processors in question but you are welcome to post them if you find them. But I'm pretty sure at 1080p and beyond the 2500 doesn't gain much ground due to GPU limitations. Again, post up some benches and hard data.

[TheMortalpain]

@SirtubalotTX Unfortunately i cant not get you any "hard data" but i run all my games maxed out with my I5 2500k and i can tell you that i am going beyond 1080p.

[SirtubalotTX]

@TheMortalpain I don't understand what you mean.. 'going beyond'.. What resolution are you gaming at?

[TheMortalpain]

@SirtubalotTX ah sorry your right not beyond 1980x1080 (widescreen) at 192.6fps average

[SirtubalotTX]

@TheMortalpain That's very interesting.. what game? The 550ti if roughly equivalent to a Radeon 5770. (Nothing to sneeze at) Toms Hardware got 42 fps in Crisis 2 at 1080p with no aa and 'game details' on a Core I5-2500K.

[TheMortalpain]

@SirtubalotTX i wasnt using the most demanding game Company of heroes but i will stress the card and give you feedback on crysis.

[SirtubalotTX]

@TheMortalpain That's cool.. just curious. The main point I was making is why would folks want to spend a bunch of extra money on a CPU when they are going to be GPU limited anyways? I'm a 'bang for the buck' person and I personally thing the best gaming processor is the quad core Phenom 820 which can be had for 60 bucks at Microcenter. I'm still feeling my way around as far as what level of graphics cards and where they become CPU limited but I think everyone would be surprised.

[SirtubalotTX]

@TheMortalpain I meant Phenom 840.

[iloveyouhammie]

@TheMessanger61 i totally agree :D

[zangmano]

plz don't tell me u used a gtx instead of a radeon

[daman799]

1 physical core not 4

[TheMortalpain]

@daman799 intel core i5 2500k has 4 physical cores and 4 logical cores.

[ComputerTechTV]

@TheMessanger61 Really appreciated its just something I enjoy doing. I don't have a lot of money so I focus most of my time on maximizing what I have, and making videos like this to help others get right stuff.

[Megatronicful]

@ComputerTechTV thats good 

[tinostarks]

Stop reading the "x" as times, you're suppose to read it as by.

[ComputerTechTV]

@TheMessanger61 Seriously? If your for real really appreciate the compliment!

[elgreco1114]

@ComputerTechTV Yep! I totally agree, the video was unbiased and very informative. And because some poeple may start whining and say that I'm supporting Intel, yes I consider Intel better than AMD because this is the way it is, they always a step forward. I have the 1100T by the way and I just bought it one week ago.

[ronxity]

the fps depends on your graphic card... if you got nvidia so ofcurse that with the intel cpu you will get higher fps but if you got Radeon HD so the amd will work better...

sorry for my bad english

[Fortune2point0]

@ronxity Intel doesn't work better with nVidia, and AMD doesn't work better with AMD Radeon, and processors are important for FPS too, not just video cards.

[sfk9039]

@Fortune2point0 This is my opinion too

[ComputerTechTV]

@Fortune2point0 Depends on game and /or application.

[ghassanWENN]

And here im standing with my shitty AMD 955 Be -.-

[boabs]

same gd vid. im away to get that 2500k. trying to keep the temps down with and 965 is a nightmare.

[Shinedown51287]

Thanks for the great video! Really helped me decide to choose between those processors.

[lemonmusicrocks]

2500k vs 1100t battlefiled 3 ???

[Fortune2point0]

@lemonmusicrocks 2500k all the way.

[buzz9961]

INTEL FOR EVER!

[ProFromHeaven]

You realy convinced me to buy a intel now. And I think its worth the price

[alvarg]

i have an nvidia gtx 560ti graphics card, should i get an i5 2500k, or an x6 1100t. i can't decide i've always had amd so i was leaning towards amd but should i go for intel now?

[Spazza42]

Intel should have better processors, cos their graphics are shite....

[Mariete96m]

what's better for games?

[ComputerTechTV]

@Mariete96m 2500K ATM and a 1100T is better if you really need to extra real cores. If your running AMD already and can fit 1100T go with that. If your building a new rig get a 2500K its better in almost every situation.

[Mariete96m]

@ComputerTechTV ok thank you :D

[Jdwill1014]

@ComputerTechTV thank u im build my first rig with the 2500k i was gonna go for a 2100 but i really wanted this cpu so i got it

[2203932008]

@IDutchyX, lol who says it?

[Germanyisthebest1]

I over clocked my Amd Phenom II X4 to 4,5 Ghz lol

[Axcoh]

you not a fan boy right ??? is this legit

[ComputerTechTV]

@Axcoh No I am not a fan boy ran Intels for long time and now building a AMD bulldozer rig check my recent videos. The info in this video is legit at least according to souse online which is where most of the info came from.

[bobbycat70]

Anyone Got Intel i5 2500K And is Loving it :) Thump up if You do!

[TheSwampShinobi]

hey, if the cpu fan comes preapplied with a thermal pad, do i still need to apply thermal paste?

[ComputerTechTV]

@TheSwampShinobi No you can sue supplied paste however some aftermarket ones are slightly better. If you don't plan to overclock I wouldn't worry. If you are serious about overclocking I would invest in a better cooler so paste on stock one wouldn't matter.

[TheVenomousJJ]

Nice vid. You didn't go biased at all :) ...

I got the 1100T but I respect this video all the same. Going to get a gtx 580 for now and I will run games nice and smooth :)

[ComputerTechTV]

@TheVenomousJJ Thanks I try to stay on both sides of the fence since I respect both companies.

[iceman27406]

@ComputerTechTV you need to go ahead and test it with the 8150p when it comes out with the new architecture people tend to forget that AMD chips use the same one as chips from 2003 that is a long A** time between updates i just hope it does not disappoint. Me personally AMD always but that is just me it like Chevy VS. Ford they both get your A** to the same place LOL.

[Amrut223]

@TheVenomousJJ When all is taken into consideration the 2500k was released about 8 months later then the 1100t. It should be a lot better. :)

[ComputerTechTV]

@Amrut223 Most situations it better, just depends on your price range and what your into. AMD or Intel.

[jamescoatesp]

I have two home built PCs with each CPU and I am very happy with each build, my 2500k build may be a little quicker , however both are really good I don't think you can go wrong with either choice.

[GoBulbasourGo]

Video cards are geting way out of hand today, If i have 25 fps im good, can you realy tell the screens chnageing 25 time each second? no, then 250 on Left for dead? ahaha, The screen is changeing 250 times per second theres no way you need all that

[bf6281]

@GoBulbasourGo At 25fps you're good? Really? Most consider anything <30fps unplayable and I completely agree. If you're happy with that 25fps more power too you but even when I went from one GTX 570 to two in SLI configuration I could completely notice the diffrenence between say 40fps and 80+fps. IMO

[dinerman2000]

you could use a zx spectrum for your intel chip lol

[FEENPC]

i3 FTW!

[rikguitar1]

i5 ftw

[mitchkappen]

maybe is this a rly stupid question but I am not that smart based on pc's.. : Can you unlock more cores on the 2500k? like from 4 cores to 5 or 6 cores?

[ComputerTechTV]

@mitchkappen No only reason you can on AMD is b/c they take CPUs that aren't fully stable as 3-4 core models and sell them as less cores for cheaper price. That why you have a chance to unlock a 3 core to 4 core and so on. Its not guaranteed but lots of chips will do it. Hope that made sense and that's a good Q and A video idea will have to remember this one.

[Roksonixx]

@mitchkappen no because the 2500k only has 4 cores to begin with, if intel brought a 3 core cpu (that was just binned 2500k's) then yes there may be a chance to unlock it to 4, but that's not the case

[FsimulatorX]

@mitchkappen i5 2500K has 4 physical cores and 4 virtual cores= 8 cores but 4 cores because the other 4 is virtual.

[SuperDan2u]

when it comes to hardcore gaming which cpu is bettter between these two?

[ComputerTechTV]

@SuperDan2u 2500K/2600K is the way to go.

[EdwinXVS]

@SuperDan2u Bulldozer :)

[gregmacknass]

AMD is for the masses and Intel is for kicking asses

[icguilty]

NEVER BENCH is a factor to watch. because bench only show the pr of the cpu running the bench. even if u copy the hw of that cpu u will not get the same pr can be more or less

[ComputerTechTV]

@icguilty Good point

[Jayjr1105]

You have to keep in mind here... this is SECOND gen 32nm vs. 45nm. Yes, AMD may be behind in the architecture but they do just fine in the bang for buck dept. If I had my choice, Yes I would buy the 2500k for $30 more but again we are comparing different generations of cpu's here. When bulldozer is released then we shall see. P.S. I am an AMD advocate because I am poor :-)

[RyanRichardsPHI]

what is turbo speed versus normal speed? when its overclocked?

[ComputerTechTV]

@RyanRichardsPHI It upclocks the cores by few hundred MHz when more speed is needed when running certain applications.

[RyanRichardsPHI]

@ComputerTechTV ok thank you very much for answering my question

[prince2us]

Bro!

where have you been all my youtube life??

I just subscribed!

[ComputerTechTV]

@prince2us Here on YT just not as big as some guys like Trubritar and LinusTechTips on my way spread the word lots of videos to come thanks for subbing!

[TheROYO11]

intel + Nvidia = omG monster PC :D

[Collecian]

@TheROYO11 Against this Holy Union, AMD cannot stand!

[0ytreza7]

@TheROYO11 AMD + ATI = Bulldozer not monster

[alvarg]

@TheROYO11 should i get an i5 2500k or an x6 1100t

[Amuffin456]

@alvarg 2500k

[alvarg]

@Amuffin456 yea bit late lol already decided

[Atheismrulez]

@TheROYO11

AMD is currently better than NVIDIA for GPUs, but Intel is better than AMD for CPUs.

[carbinfibre]

Soo Overall i should get the Intel 2500k?... all i use my Pc for is Gaming, just gaming gaming gaming....But i still can't see how the intel has better FPS with gaming compared to the AMD when the AMD has more Cache and more cores... I have to learn more :S

[honitsten]

I came pretty close to buying an AMD build instead of my i7 2600k I am putting together now. Haven't figured out which benchmarks to run. I've only figured on running a GPU stress test and a CPU stress test to make sure it's stable.

[WTFLOLGG]

I'll Buy a AMD phenom X6 1100T because:

I5 2500k ===> 219€

AMD phenom X6 1100T ===> 160€

Rate FPS/Price , AMD = Intel

Hexacore for AMD (think to the future ;) )

quadcore for Intel

Why do you not test the both processor on BFBC2 or other game using more than 2 cores ?

[FEGTTTSDH]

@WTFLOLGG the x6 is a bad 6 cores

[ComputerTechTV]

@WTFLOLGG If I had money for both I would 100% test them on anything you guys would want.

[FedoraFTW]

@WTFLOLGG for an extra 60 bucks i would pay to get the i5, it just flat out murders anything AMD has to offer.

[Quand9]

@WTFLOLGG >.> it's 220$ for the i5 retail and i got mine for 210$, how can it be 220 euros?

[niMoviesProductions]

Got a question, i may buy the Intel Core i5-2500k with the AMD Radeon HD 6950, and 8 GB RAM. Think i will do good on the newest games? (1680x1050 maxed)

[ComputerTechTV]

@niMoviesProductions Yes it should do fine what size monitor and res do you play at? Do you plan to OC anything if you do that will help even more.

[niMoviesProductions]

@ComputerTechTV I'm using a 22 inch screen (1680x1050).

And maybe after a year or so i will overclock it. I'll see.

I customized a PC, and wondered if i can play the newest games (Like i said at the first comment)

So, will I be able to run games with some quality?

[ComputerTechTV]

@niMoviesProductions Yes with a 22 inch screen at that res you will have do problem with that hardware. Even better performance if you OC the card and CPU.

[niMoviesProductions]

@ComputerTechTV So are you saying it's okay or i need to buy some better parts?

[ComputerTechTV]

@niMoviesProductions Thats better then what 1/3 of people can afford your fine.

[rocklebest]

will the the amd processor run battlefield 3 maxed?

[overclockersunited]

@rocklebest No one knows, BF3 is not released yet.

[ComputerTechTV]

@rocklebest I would think so even though its not out yet it just depends on your monitor size and what GFX card your using.

[TheBallet96]

i5 2500K IS BETTER!!... :)

[TheBallet96]

Intel 2500k IS BETTER !!!

[notoriousmo100]

great video. thanks for helping me make up my mind.. 2500k it is

[Bevan424]

Great video.

[ComputerTechTV]

@Bevan424 Thanks!

[NewtypeDestroyer]

You can use a Z68 mobo to get the intel graphics, it's not just H67 anymore. Z68 can OC the onboard graphics and processor. And has a usage for a Solid State cache.

[icguilty]

with dmi the internal bus of the micro is 133 mhz !. ahahahahahahaha.

[icguilty]

AMD isnt cheaper have much better tech than intel. have: hypertransport 32 bit full duplex/fullspeed/128 bit memory interface n 1333 mhz. use soi package, have more feature. the intel 2500k is a basic micro, u pay almost 300 bucks for a basic sht!. The real products is totally diferent, even have nothing to do with the marketing itself!. n also maybe the micro is cheaper but amd it needs better mobos n memory. the qpi intel bus is a bad copy of hypertransport tech now they use dmi,

[ComputerTechTV]

I did not use 2600K for this comparison since HT would give the CPU even more edge over the 1100T.

[coconutjoe666]

yay for 2500k :D

[AgentHydra]

On Vantage CPU test my Phenom 955 was getting ~10989 points and my i3 2100 was getting ~10288 points. Sandybridge is a pretty dam good architecture

[ComputerTechTV]

@AgentHydra Yea I would say so!

[icguilty]

with memory n mobos for amd u must have great products. not any goes to amd micro.

[ComputerTechTV]

@icguilty I will say it has a lot to do with the company you buy from and the quality they offer not AMD or Intel but aftermarket manufacturers. Buying cheaper products will usually give you less then ideal results and/or reliability and longevity issues down the road. Not always but it happens. I have seen many high end parts that fail soon then low end comes down to how hard they are being used more then the amount you pay. The higher end boards get pushed more since people OC more.

[icguilty]

I also can do intel 2500k run like they pentium 3 sht. is very easy do that with sw or hw. PEOPLE U NEVER BELIVE IN BENCH! first of all his is talking about his machine thats all. nothing more. I have 2600k n older amd phenom II 965 an have to much power than 2600k, my micro amd have no overclock. bad alll my machine have great balance between hw n sw.

[ComputerTechTV]

@icguilty Benchmarks aren't everything that why I posted some game FPS results. If your a hardcore bencher or overclocker go for Intel and if your a normal gamer go with AMD plain and simple anyone who owns these chips will say the same thing. Unless your a fanboy then buy what you love I guess.

[icguilty]

N the most important Intel pay u. why? intel must pay for using they products?

[ComputerTechTV]

@icguilty No I don't get paid by anyone? All of the info in this video came from legitimate sites if you dont believe me Google 2500K vs 1100T and you can see for yourself.

[icguilty]

DAMN! Onot "xpert" who shw his machine bech. FOR NOTHING AT ALL! this bencha apply to another computer First u never tallk about ur hw n how u Install ur sws, ur drivers if u foolow some logic, if u got well done ur bios, wht kind of psu u r using for amd n intel. r u using only sw designing for intel n no for amd. wht kind of trap u use to some run lower!. STOP TELLING LIES TO THE PEOPLE. if u have bad perfomance is only ur Machines that having bad perfomance. U dnt believe in this videos. LIE

[ComputerTechTV]

@icguilty I am not even sure what to say to this comment as I have no idea what you are saying please slow down and think about what you are writing and use spell check that's why its there. Where are the lies all this info is on many reputable review/testing sites don't believe me do what I did and Google it. I am here to inform others, what you buy is up to you. Just trying to get the info out there to help others decide what they really need.

Good Day

[MrMexicanZombie]

generally i am an amd guy due to over all value but those new intel cpu's are damn nice...i would buy one but since pci express 3.0 is only a few months away i am going to wait...at that time we'll see what bulldozer brings to the table....greatness or hype.

[BASSxACE]

@MrMexicanZombie You should check out the upcoming Ivybridge processors they will compete with the bulldozers. I would wait for benchmarks of both b4 picking between Amd and Intel for a new pc. :)

[FsimulatorX]

@MrMexicanZombie intel is releasing the i7 2700K to fight bulldozer

[TheBraden1996]

Glad I chose the 2500k...

[ComputerTechTV]

@TheBraden1996 Good choice and since they are so close in price why wouldn't you.

[unokilo321]

@ComputerTechTV I bought the 1100t back in Feb right after the 2500k/2600k mobo's got recalled, I didn't want to wait, but I wish I did, I found out shortly after my purchase that the 1100t is no different then the ph II 965 x4 while both are clocked at 4.0ghz, and my 1100t was unstable passed 4.0, that's what my ph ii 965 is at right now so I sold my 1100t now i'm saving up for the 2600k :)

[kickinghobo]

@TheBraden1996 You think there around the same price but you had to buy a new 1155 mb that had a defective chip and maybe wait 2 months for a replacement But for the 1100t all you needed was an am3 mb that you most likely had for a phenom ii and maybe a BIOS up date

[TheBraden1996]

@kickinghobo Dude, Don't be a fanboy. I love both Amd and Intel, and also I did not buy the 2500k until after that incident and I love my 2500k just as I loved my old athlon.

[kickinghobo]

@TheBraden1996 i got no beef with intel i just love the number of cpu to mb combinations with amd

[ComputerTechTV]

@kickinghobo Yes there are a lot of diff combos available.

[MN12BIRD]

This is about what I expected. In gaming the Intel would kick the 6 cores butt. But I figured in some multithreaded video encoding the AMD would beat the Intel. Overall... it's hard to beat the Ci5 quads! But I guess if all you do is video editing than the AMD could be a good choice!

[ComputerTechTV]

@MN12BIRD Yea seems AMD just cant win on anything besides p/p ratio....

[Bob8673]

for me atleast

[Bob8673]

Intel will always win...

[ComputerTechTV]

@Bob8673 Yea sad but thats the way it seems hope BD is all its cracked up to be if not I might just go for Sandy Bridge-E on the socket 2011 platform with PCI-E 3.0 and quad channel RAM.

[Zraupp10]

@ComputerTechTV what the hell your vs a 2008 tech vs 2011 tech what is wrong with you?????

[Bob8673]

@ComputerTechTV I think the RAM location is kinda bad, so ill keep my 1366...
