Intel or AMD? It’s the greatest question for anyone who’s built a PC after 2017. There was a time when Intel was the de facto PC processor, meanwhile AMD was the plucky underdog brand for enthusiasts and risk takers unafraid of a chip that had zero CPU throttling. AMD introducing its Zen architecture in 2017 shook things up, making AMD a real contender to challenge Intel’s decades-long dominance.
Which is better? AMD or Intel CPUs?
Generally, Intel chips are preferred by consumers for productivity and design work and AMD chips are the go-to for gaming. This has changed a bit in recent years with the rise of Zen and the Intel’s Raptor Lake troubles.
