  • what is the best amd cpu for gaming

  • @iivanos Core i7 =)

  • people keep forgetting that amd recomends overclocking the phenom and fx series cpus. there both ment for overclocking

  • @DarkEmoE even when oc they are unfortunatly not as good as intel there procesors at the same price. dont get me wrong but amd is much better when it comes down to graphic cards not processors :P

  • 2600k or wait till ivy bridge?

  • @IDixuu well ivy bridge uses less power and does not need very much voltage to acomplish the same oc as the 2600k but for a good oc experience i recomend this amd badboy or the i5 2500k beciuse the can handle a oc cpu better than ivy bridge hope this helps

  • @IDixuu if your wanting a extreme proccesor wait like a month or 2. amds releasing there pile driver 10 core series and several other cpus and apus. and of course they will be affordable to so you can buy other good parts for it.

  • Cop this. Bullying is soooo not cool. But you can do something about it. At our school a whole bunch of us have been taught to support other kids who are being bullied. It was a totally amazing experience. You can do it at your school. A good time would be in summer between SATs and the end of term. Then when you come back in September to start your GCSEs, you can get the programme up and running. Remember. Bullying sucks!

  • ...but then i took an arrow in the knee

  • I want

  • @PS3harryHOCKEY Cool thats great, it was a funny question I thought like haha "noob" lol just givin you a hard time man

  • @PS3harryHOCKEY R u serious? or do you understand comps better by now?

  • 100 , 100. Lol

  • Still better than Bulldozer.

  • Dude your vids are awesome...Great tips

  • @PS3harryHOCKEY Yeah dude its all fine graphics is Gddr5 and ram is just DDR3

  • 3:47? Your voice changes, sounds weird.

  • 100....100

  • @MegaMnguyen my system is pretty much well balanced i have correct parts such as ram and really good cpu cooler that i made my self i will upload a video once its finished

  • i just got the sapphire 6870 1gb GDDR5 with 900mghz at stock worth getting a second for crossfire ?

  • @jeenormus deffo

  • @Wondefullwood i think i will get a second then :)

  • @jeenormus make sure your motherboard and powersupply can take it tho

  • If I built my sec PC soon I'm name it but not know yet what to name it....

  • @Martinx88813 pandora, helios, icarus, northstar, sirius, and my favorite THE SUPERCALCULATOR! hahah just to name a few.

  • @Fablemahn Cool, thanks man I'll keep them in mind....

  • Hey Linus, that T on the ends stands for Thuban (name of core) :P

  • an 870 is crap a 930 is like 15 percent faster or more.

  • @thereddog223 theyre comparing the CPU's in price, you idiot!

  • and at the time the 930 was the same price yet better so think before insulting me 

  • asus crosshair IV formula is better than asus crosshair IV extreme?

  • Ok so if I bought all of this and I bought the blackmagic intestinty pro can I hook it up to this cause it.needs the PICexpress

  • Wait!.. Did he just said AX850 CPU @ 1:33 ? :P

  • Comment removed

  • How much does it cause for the whole thing that he has

  • @WrestlingStyleXtreme 'Bout US$2900-3500, depending on sales, and where you shop

  • the H70 looks very big in that system

  • vegas pro good choice good choice i'm youse the same software except its 9 bc i'm not going to upgrade but good choice good choice

  • Great Video, but can you answer this question for me: Would a system like the one here with the Phenom iix6 1100T create a bottleneck for 2x HD 6970's or 2x GTX 580's?

  • @prateshramjohn I have an 1100t oc'd to 4.3ghz with 8gb ddr3-1333, and 2 x hd6970, and I dont know how much bottle neck you'd see, so far it runs everything perfectly. although I would imagine a higher score with an intel i7 as they have better performance.

  • Great Video, but can you answer this question for me: Would a system like the one here with the Phenom iix6 1100T create a bottleneck for 2x HD 6970's or 2x GTX 580's

  • is there any difference at all between 1075t and 1090t when both are at 4ghz?

  • Lol "ax850 cpu"

  • this system need not 6870 but 6970 and 6990

  • did you say ax850 cpu??

  • great video linus!!

  • Hmm, never heard of "Feh-numb" before?'

    I have a Phenom, though.

  • 3:44 lol

  • Dude,you gotta be kidding me.I am playing Bad Company 2 at 1080 p aswell.

    And my system is much less powerfull,but still i can pull 100 fps at any case . CPU: Q9450 at 4.6Ghz (Custom Water cooling)

    MB : XFX 780i

    Video: HD5970 OC Edition (935/1310) 1.26v

    Ram: 8 Gigz DDR2 1066Mhz(1170Mhz)

    HDD:In raid 0 2x Corsair 40 gb. and for storage i am using WD VR 600Gb.

    PSU: Chiftec 1200W.

    And for the record.Even Q9450 can easy beat AMD useless processors.

    No need to mention the 980X at 4.8Ghz OC.Peace!

  • @kotlarov92 If you listened to him while he was talking it was ran on stock settings

  • @kotlarov92 very bias opinion! your cpu being oc'd has a considerable affect on the amount of fps you get, or did you not educate your self in this concept. return your bios settings to default and try again smart ass!! the x6 series cpu's were not designed to be compared with the 980x! we all dont have an indispensable income,compare amd cpu's for what they are (BANG FOR YOUR BUCK!!!!!!) also you have a card that has 2 5870 gpu's 2gb gddr5

    and is more powerful than a gtx580! malcontent!

  • @binovski5 Fail, amd fanboy ;D i5 2500k is the best bang for the buck when it comes to cpus... and if you don't OC you can get cheap lga1155 mobo and i5 2500 without "k" and its still better deal than amd. Intel took over even the last advantage that amd had, price/performance ratio XD

  • Comment removed

  • @Dex1n i5 2500k\3.3ghz,6mb cache, retail $269.00. phenom x6 1090t\3.2ghz, 9mb cache, retail $230.00.

    i got my 1100t for $150.00, now if that is not bang for your buck what is?. also mobo's are relatively cheap for this platform. im not an amd fanboy, i have 2 intel systems, i think intel and amd are both great cpu manufacturers!

    what do you have in your rig? FAIL= a word you are familiar with no doubt! lol!! munkelus! lol!

  • @binovski5 Its stupid to buy old 45nm, when theres new 32nm on the market. You really think more cores mean shit? 2500k will rape phenom II 6 core because of its new technology, it produces less heat, uses less power, overclocks higher... Zomg newbie... also 2500k is nowhere near $269 in price... under what rock did you live? In here where I live, 2500k is cheaper than 1100t... and better all around, also foolish to buy 1100t when 1090t is same cpu just clocked 0,1GHz lower. You can OC it too...

  • @Dex1n the 1090T is at $200, while the 2500K is at $225 which when OC'd can get up to 5GHz with adequate cooling, easily beating the 1090T which can go up to ~4.2GHz stable. The extra $25 are well worth it, especially for gaming, given that most games don't take advantage of more than 4 cores. The higher clock compensates for the additional 2 cores. There have been some issues with SATA controllers in LGA1155 mobos but it should have been fixed by now.

  • @kotlarov92 like i said i got the 1100t for $150.00 so i used it. i have a Core 2 Quad Q8400 and i dont get nearly the same scores as the 1100t. i think intel and amd are great cpu manufacturers, but i would put my 1100t up against your q9450, it would be interesting! the 980x is much more expensive than the x6 series so how can you compare the two. i would expect the 980x to be more powerful for the extra currency being exchanged! if it serves you well and you dont have to sell a kidney =great

  • @binovski5 your 6 core is just fine cpu, but at this point when building new rig, theres no point to ignore Sandy Bridges, i5 2500K can be overclocked even 5GHz with air cooling. It's not really wise to spend more on slower 6 core than faster and new quad core :) And btw i7 2600K is nearly as good as i7 980X, just 100$ more than 2500K.

  • @Dex1n might build 2600k next, i heard of sata probs thats why im a bit hesitent. im going to wait for the bulldozer cpu's to come out and then take it from there.

  • If you ever think about getting rid of this computer send it to me in England please :):) lol

  • Why is this not Xfire?

  • @TweFoji put the other graphics card on the 870 platform :P

  • where is my botleneck if i got a gtx260 overclocked edition grafikscard a amd athelon x2 250 3ghz procesor 2X4 gig 1600mhz ocz ddr2 memory a asus m4a78 motherbord and a raw deal 620 + powersuply if im going to play the latest games and can manage without dx11 but i want to film the games using software? right now i have the decision between highest grafics on 1080p using low antialiicing ps crysis warhead runs all maxed even antialiacing or mid and capturing what im playing ?

  • where is my botleneck if i got a gtx260 overclocked edition grafikscard a amd athelon x2 250 3ghz procesor 2X4 gig 1600mhz ocz ddr2 memory a asus m4a78 motherbord and a raw deal 620 + powersuply

  • in other words, AMD sells 6 core processors at a similar price that don't actually perform any better than the Intel core i7 quad-cores...

    So I guess what they say is true, you get what you pay for.

  • @ 0.13 secs

    PHEE- NOM

    NOT "Phenom" like venom you imbecile

  • @john5246

    Lots of people I know say "Phen-om" like Venom.

    I personally say; "Phe-nom" like Phenominal.

  • what's the cost to buy all of the parts for this rig???

  • Just ordered this setup but with powercolor radeon HD6970, landed at 15000SEK. Hope it performs as i expect. What do you think Linus?

  • i want this set up, can i win ths Linus?

  • heres something we can all agree on ._. 4ghz ftw!

  • AMD!! the best/the BEAST!!

  • Linus... if you suggest us to watch other video put a link to it in description box :) I think it would be easier :)

  • @Dilic100 Was just thinking that.

  • @Dilic100 If Linus suggest anything... you do it, no matter the effort or strain. Linus just knows. Its a natural phenomenon

  • My observation, this is not a valid compare of two systems. i have just done price compares and utilizing the common sense Vision method of optimizing a computer system trying to oust bottlenecks like Linus said. Also Overclocking ANY Intel CPU will not only void the warranty but also that of an Intel Mother Board. Even with coolers these components will age much faster. An Intel i7 950@ 3.06GHz with MB can use large broadband tri-channel memory" ' AMD can not. price is $280.00 to my door.

  • @mikethemoneymaker Also I realize these systems are really set up for gaming but doing a fair full comparison would also include business and networking applications. I dare this AMD system of six cores to keep up with the 4 core i7 950 system matched with proper mother board, ram...I bet it cant be done when optimized equally. Having said this I own several AMD X4 970 O.C.machines at home that kick butt , were very cost effective build compared to Intel. They are almost like running a server

  • how much would this cost to build just a question?

  • lol ax850 cpu

  • @Haksu77 true but amd has 6 physical cores wheres with intel only has 4 physical

  • what brand and model is the tech station?

  • That background reminds me of YTV... ya... channel 25 long time ago! The hosts had a very similar font/size/color scheme back ground!! Ya... im in vancouver too.

  • Where did the other graphics card? You had CrossfireX before i'm sure!

  • @tinger95 you are trippin balls i went ova that video twice there was never another card lol

  • AX850 CPU !?... wuts dat ?... j/k, but yeah, sounded funny :D

  • hey linus, lets do a trade...

    i'll give you my sempron LE-1100 and you give me that phenom 1100T?

    they have the same numbers, they should work at the same speed right? ^^

    DEAL?!!?!

    :P

  • For the record, a 4 core vs. a 6 core isn't always the best straight up comparison as the clock speeds tend to be faster the fewer cores you have. I'd rather see a Phenom II x4 go up against that Intel crap.

  • @vh2k lol intel crap? that 6 core only can compete with the 920, and atm for an extra 50-70 you can get a 950 which blows the phenom II x6. if it has the same price point it can be compared.

  • @B1ACKROSEZ The i7 950 has 1 MB of L2 cache, 8 MB of L3 cache and a 3.06 GHZ clock speed compared to the x4 970 which has 2 MB of L2 cache, 6 MB of L3 cache and a 3.50 GHZ clock speed. Oh, and the x4 has an unlocked multiplier. :)

  • The was i see it as of now intel has better performing cpus but of course they are more expensive than AMD. But that doesn't mean AMD cant do same if you remember the p4 days. AMD wasn't always price/performance, they just have been with the phenoms. Which is why i dont believe in loyalty over pieces of circuitry like you fags do, both companies have made better performing cpus than the other. So I take what is best for me at the time.

  • LOL why dont you fanboys put aside your stupidity for once.I really dont understand why Im seeing comments like "oh linus your comparing a 4 core to a six core" They are in the similar price range and they perform about the same this is a fair comparison(and yes i own an i7 860)

    AMD six core cpu is very attractive(i just dont like the 1100t cause it seems pointless compared to the 1090) i might had gone for one if i didnt build my rig around feburary 2010

  • You should really be comparing the 1100T to something like a 950. Imho

  • Bullshit. He said around 50 FPS in Bad Company 2 with the 1100T and the 6870. I'm running an AMD Phenom II X4 925 @ stock speeds with an EVGA GTX 470 and I am getting around 70 FPS on maxed out settings.

  • @worlddomin623 u know 470 is better than 6870

  • @asddsaaassddd i have a 470 and even i admit the 6870 is an overall better card. trades blows in performance depending on game, runs cooler,quieter,uses alot less power, newer, has MLAA,and will only get better with age. Nvidia had to drop the price 100$ on the 470 also they werent even in the same catagory. i got my 470 for super cheap at 180$ thanks to the 6870.

  • Comment removed

  • What happened to the other amd 6870? There is just one in the system.

  • <3 Crosshair IV formula

  • another dumb isnt ht the sht of intel the only things is does is over charge the memory like turbo memory n all intel tech. i talk about hypertransport not HyperThreading sht.

  • aren't 6 core CPU's pretty bad for gaming ATM? No games support six core affinity from what I've heard, could be wrong though.

  • @bewts420 that is why it has turbo mode where it overclocks three cores to 3.7ghz.

  • oc the intel to the 6 core amd and see, the amd will lose

  • what's the cinebench score with the amd 6 core? (just the cpu renderingtest with multiple threads)

    for my i5 760@4ghz 20613, with just 1 thread 5691 (cinebench r10) the older version with the bike

  • I can't say I'm impressed with the 1100T. It's ONLY a 100MHz clock increase, on an already UNLOCKED CPU.

    Really quite pointless. The only saving grace is that it drives down the price of the 1090T.

  • What is that on the screen in the beginning? I'm mesmerized

  • ...but does it play crysis???

  • @XxMrPiChUxX it sure plays, but not even close to 60 fps

  • @whiteperson1 i know...it was a joke

  • I'd take a 870 and gtx460 over this any day.

  • not only the mobo but the proc itself.... u can get a true 6core amd proc higher clock at a lower price than a quad core intel...

  • 100..? 100....

  • Correction, AX 850 PSU, not CPU

  • i have on my motherboar 4 ram slots andordererd the geil evo cyclone ram cooler can i use this on 4 ram slots or on 6 slots only

  • may be corsai pay. but amd i dnt think. amd always have better design n new tech. like their bus is 32 bits, full speed n duplex. ht is much better n compatible n also is a standard almost all chipset maker use ht. have better sw tolerance. of course in the market we have many bad sw or not made for amd micros, ati or nvidia. also they have some little bad design somewhere like all makers.also u not must pay 600% jst for an image product or name n that came with old tech. also use soi tech

  • @icguilty HyperThreading is seen as something of a joke in the truly high performance CPU industry, like those created by Oracle and IBM which run on RISC architecture. Those CPU's have been running multi-threaded for years before Intel showed up with anything that did anything remotely similar. Many super high end workstation and super computer CPU's have as many as 64 threads per core, which when used with properly coded software has OUTSTANDING performance.

  • I can't find the video where he is actually building this system

  • hard to compare all the data in your mind, some graphs would be useful

  • Intel gamer 4 life!

  • shed i wait for the new intel cpu to come out to buy a i7 950 it shed drop in $

  • Comment removed

  • Would a Phenom II x4 processor at the same frequency as the 1100t outperform it in most games?

  • @nobodypersonsomeone If the game is multi-threaded then you'll see a performance increase clock for clock with the X6. Software is moving towards multi-threading at a decent rate, so the 1100T would last much longer in that regard with the extra cores.

  • This whole "intel i7 hyperthreading = 8 cores" is purely market gimmickry. The fact of the matter is that yes, Intel CPUs put up better numbers than comparable AMD CPUs, but the difference at most is maybe 10%, and that's being generous. If you buy Intel, your still paying 300% more in most cases; not to say that Intel is "bad", just saying that the increases you see with Intel are almost negligible, especially compared to the price:performance ratio of AMD CPUs.

  • @afinewaytodie I should also include that I build PCs PRIMARILY for gaming. I'm not a video rendering kind of person, I pretty much just browse the interwebz, do some basic school work, and game. That being said, AMD makes more sense from my perspective. If I was going to do a lot of video editing and CPU intensive labor, Intel is still the obvious choice. Although, if I was going to be doing a lot of video rendering I might just get a mac, or at least a hackintosh,

  • @afinewaytodie You're wrong on so many levels...

  • @dchains Well, and your an Intel fanboy, so let's call it even.

  • @afinewaytodie I'm not a fanboy at all, i do think that AMD has a great price for performance ratio but you're wrong on so many aspects on both CPU devolpment and pricing. Do some more research, look up and compare prices, and then come back with a concrete argument based on actual facts and not in correct BS such as ''but the difference is at most 10%'', there are so many factors that would determine such a percentage.

  • @dchains Um, well, ok. Here's a scenario: the 1090T costs $230 on newegg.com, the closest comparable CPU from intel is the i7 970, at $880. Now 300% of 230 is 690. So that's actually MORE than 300%. If you compare Intel CPUs to AMD with the same or similar specs, the results are clear. If you take two different 6 core procs, clocked at exactly the same speed, there is no way the actual performance increase can be quantified at $650. No amount of "hyperthreading" is worth $650.

  • @afinewaytodie You're comparing based on cores which isn't right, Intel's 6 Core chips are architecturally better clock for clock in multi-threaded apps because of the inclusion of HT and overall better design of the core, you have to compare the performance range, just because both chips have 6 cores doesn't mean they're the same. You're getting a significant increase in performance (most of the time) vs the AMD's X6 chips due to the better design, so the price is justified.

  • @dchains I'm not saying that they're both the same at all. But here's another scenario: i7 960 at $580 which is more than 200% more than the 1090t. I'm not saying intel procs are worthless, but they're prices are ridiculous. As long as you're building a rig predominately for gaming, you should be running an AMD CPU. If you're building a number cruncher, or a workstation, or maybe just an envy build, you should run Intel. There is no reason to put an Intel CPU in a gaming rig.

  • @dchains Unless you are dying to put Nvidia in your rig.

  • @dchains Your obsession with HT and multi-threaded apps is absurd...The only programs on the market today that use multi-threading are encoders and professional grade Video, Photo, Audio, and 3D design suites. That being said 98% of users will NEVER need HT. Most programs aren't even written to utilize quad core let alone HT+quad core.

  • @JPCreativePro That's not an obsession, those are called facts. Plus my entire point wasn't only based on HT.

    Also, software as a whole is moving more and more toward multi-threading, yes this includes gaming, so HT does/will play a big part. AMD is actually developing their own HT tech from what i have heard, so it does play a big part in overall execution with future and even current software.

  • @dchains I understand technology is moving to multi threading I never said It wasn't or that HT is bad I'm just saying that its been 4 years since release of quad core and they still haven't gone mainstream or fully implemented into software, 6 cores won't be implemented for another 5 years and 6 core plus HT wont be mainstream for longer yet. Point is these processors are blazing fast but no one can maximize their power. CPU's are ~10 years ahead of software at this point in time.

  • @JPCreativePro I agree with that, i think that currently CPU's are to the point where the mainstream doesn't need much better, an average computer user isn't going to utilize 12, 8 or even 6 cores fully. Software is also still at the point where it's not taking advantage of the tons of cores being slapped into our CPU's, so throwing more into a chip is useless for the majority of software right now.

  • @JPCreativePro While you're obviously going on about the consumer market, you may want to go check out the Sun SPARC CPU's (well, not Oracle). Those things have 64 threads per chip on some models, yet run at fairly modest clock speeds yet they absolutely obliterate the code they push through them because the software written for them is fully multi-threaded. The more threads you throw at it the faster it'll go and keep using every one it can find. This is becoming true with consumer apps too.

  • @TalesOfWar Yes I am, why would I refer to the server market? How many people have a server chilling in their basement?

  • @dchains Here in NL the 1100t is even cheaper than the 870

    The 870 is 246 euro and the 1100t is 235 euro

  • wtf, I can do around 4.00 in CInebench with my unlocked/OC'ed X2 . . . for $85!

  • wtf, I can do around 4.00 with my unlocked/OC'ed X2 . . . for $85!

  • LOL ax850 CPU @1:36 :D

  • If I got one of these, I would probably not even OC it . . .

  • Battlefield bad company 2 was also made for AMD systems, it runs a little better on them. I think overall the AMD system is a bit better.

  • i have been running amd for my gaming needs for the past 3 years and im fine with them, GO AMD!!

  • I hate this whole unlocked cpus it's like pay extra for a feature when it's already on all CPUs

  • Intel over amd still sorry.

  • @SamBrears It's a fair test 100%. Notice that the Core i7 actually wins some multithreaded benchmarks.

    It all comes down to "bang for the buck" with CPUs. If the price and positioning of the product is the same, they are fair game for "head to head" comparisons.

  • @NCIXcom

    especialy that amd has 6 cores 6 threads and i7 has 4 cores and 8 threads

  • @SamBrears your a moron intel i7 cores have 8 core total intel has 4 more hyperthreads on there quadcores

  • @IsSadistic But hyperthreading doesn't always equal the same power as cores. It's more of a small performance boost, plus some extra bragging numbers.

  • @SamBrears It's called Nitrous fnffag. NOS is a brand name. Nitrous oxide is the actual substance.

  • @SamBrears your a complete and utter idiot, testing even a 1 core vs a 200 core is a fair test so long as they are the same price (i know exaggeration but im trying to get my point across)

  • @SamBrears It's like a 4 cyl turbo vs a v6 N/A. They cost roughly the same, and they go roughly as fast. It's a perfectly fair comparison.

  • @SamBrears its saying that intel is better coz a 4core can keep up with an AMD 6 core

  • no one will need a 6core for maybe 10 years...software is years and years behind the power of pc's because its smarter to make a program that most ppl can run then ppl who bought a pc in the past few years. that being said nothing wrong with having a ton of power you wont need...power is just cool :D cars go like a 150mph in the states yet how often do you go that fast? more power!

  • @MrMexicanZombie If you code something that's (TRUE) multi-threaded now, you'll only stand to gain as time goes by. Your software will scale almost infinitely if coded properly from the start as we start to see more and more cores and threads in consumer CPU's. Much the same way that coding in 64bit is the only way to go these days, so it can address more memory that systems will come with in the future.

  • since when is ax850 a cpu. hahah

  • @NICXcom Hi linus it would be nice if wrote the numbers about score and such on the video, it is quite hard to understand the difference between numbers when you are a foreign.

  • "AX 850 Cpu" LOL @1:34

  • amd sux

  • @umais09 ur computer probably sucks. so dont hate on AMD

  • @bradrhoades102840 WELL , EVEN IF IT SUX, ITS BETTER THAN AMD SHIT

  • @umais09 I hate fags like you. Just say its betters than AMD, that way you don't sound like a fanboy.
