TechBits 6 - Intel and AMD CPU Architectures Explained

With all the processors currently available, it can be hard to figure out which CPU is the right choice for your computer. In this episode of TechBits, I demystify the two currently competing high-end processors: The Core i7 from Intel, and the Phenom from AMD.

you ever seen the sun your so whhite

[sciguy14]

nope, never.

[LincolnFStern]

AMD HT does NOT equal Intel Hyperthreading. It's equal to the onboard memory controller that the Intel has.

[sciguy14]

True. It stands for hypertransport.

Support AMD to keep Intel honest!

[27johnrick]

for pure performance, regardless of price, go for intel i7

for more bang for your buck, go for amd

you a ugly nigga, my nigga

@27johnrick @27johnrick what do mean?

most amds today are reported to be faster that bigger intels...

i'm running an Intel on a pre-built sys, but for a while i was running an AMD k6-2 at MHz... and that thing was fast for an old chip!!!

for normal usage it surpassed the Intel Pentium 4 by a lot based of tests and usage (on Linux so i must be correct)

but for gaming the Intel was better because it was newer of course its gonna play better!

so AMD is better for *almost* everything!

most amds today are repoprted to be faster that bigger intels...

im running an intel on a prebuilt sys, but for a while i was runningand amd k6-2 at 450mhz... and that thing was fast for an old chip!!!

for normal usage it surpassed the intel pentium by alot based of tests and usage (on linux so i must be correct)

but for gameing the intel was beter because it was newer ofcourse its gona play beter!

so amd is better for *almost* everything!

@sciguy14 lol good anwswer. Who cares if your a nerd thats why im watching your video

[ESPdude1988]

Holy fuck you say "uh" and "uhm" like 100 times in this! Great vid though XD

[TheGODOFDEBAUCHERY]

good solid way to explain.I am starting to get serious about computers and am in search of knowledge_$#%^*&(________)))))­))))))))))#$%^&~GOD~OF~DEBAUCH­ERY~

[DXcellence718]

Lol word, the phenom was meant to compete with the intel core 2 quad

[townending]

When he said the AMD phenom was competing with the Intel Core i7, i almost spit my drink.

[shazzzam79]

Does it matter the CPU you have if you are going to use DDR2 or DDR3 RAM? I thought it was just the MoBo... I want to put DDR3 RAM with an Athlon X2 64 6000+ on the MSI NF750-G55 AM3 NVIDIA nForce 750a SLI HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard. This going to be a problem? Or does the problem arise when I upgrade to a Phenom chip?

[madzane94]

wow amd has therte mem controller in there cpu for how long yet styll it only gets attention when inteldoes it loolll!
