hey what is up guys Jays two cents here and I'm bringing one of those rare gameplay commentaries on the channel a lot of you guys really like this some of you people who've never seen a commentary or like what the heck is this why are we watching gameplay this is weird actually this is kind of a norm and every single year I like to do a video of out AMD versus Intel and since this is kind of the way I started my channel I kind of like to go back to the nostalgic feel of gameplay commentaries so I do this a couple times a year now where I do AMD versus Intel to bring you guys information on which processors are right for you and try and keep the information as current as possible so without further ado let's go ahead and jump into some battlefield 4 here play an engineer class with a pretty specific loadout specifically for myself when it comes to engineer class I love my mtar I love my small but today we're going to go ahead and use the straw rocket which turns out to be pretty beneficial we're also gonna do some main battle tank action here and without further ado let's go ahead and jump into October 2014 AMD versus Intel and how to choose the right processor for you all right so let's face it when it comes to trying to pick the right processor it's very difficult in this age because there are some very very biased reviewers out there and let's be honest we're all biased to a little degree now with this I want to say this take my opinion here with a grain of salt and compare and contrast it to other opinions that you're hearing and try and formulate your own opinion based on a lot of different people's of you point of views and only then can you start to put together the big picture of what's going to work for you now I have my preferences but I do the best I can to remain unbiased but let's face it we all do have a little bit of biased in us and I am real enough to admit that now one other thing I want to also stress here is you're gonna hear a very common thread in this video from every other video I have ever made that talks about how to choose a particular product whether it be a power supply or CPU in the past or a graphics card or Ram the common thread being what are you doing with your computer now that's a hard question for a lot of people to answer a lot of people are building their very first computer and they've have no idea what they can do with their computer so how are they supposed to say what they're gonna do with it so they're afraid they're gonna buy a CPU and they're gonna get the wrong CPU and it's gonna keep them from doing what it is they want to do but here's the reality when it comes to that every CPU can do with any other CPU can do they all just do it at a little bit different speeds that's it I don't care if we're talking about the x99 59 60 X or the FX 4100 which is a little baby little quad CPU on the FX side which you know it's not very it's not very strong but it tries it's like a little engine that could they both can do the exact same thing it's just one's gonna do it better than the other so don't be worried that you're gonna buy a CPU that simply can't do something because it will it just gonna depend on how fast it is really it's not like the program is gonna pop up and say sorry brah you can't do this function because you didn't buy it until 59 60 X better luck next time Wow yeah that's not gonna happen I promise you AMD versus Intel well let's go ahead and face it the realistic realism reality reality it's a lot of ours that are are realistic reality here is that Intel is faster than AMD on just about every front at this juncture when it comes to the technology I lasted this video in January and since then Intel has launched several new CPUs and a brand new platform AMD on the other hand has not really launched anything but a few refreshes of an existing platform that has already been around for going on three years that being the FX line now they came out with some new FX 8350 and 8320 style processors where they're a little more efficient but they are no more powerful that is so yeah kind of disappointing to see that AMD is not coming out with brand new architecture or groundbreaking technologies but guys let's face it AMD is not trying to do that they are really trying to improve the apu which is going to take quite a while to get up to the current standard of what standalone cpus are being offered from intel so it's gonna take some time now with that said this is not a fanboy comment this is just a realistic fact intel's faster than AMD on every front but that's not to say AMD is something that you should overlook in fact in my opinion i'm more often than not will recommend AMD cpus people looking to build a very budget oriented cpu or computer tower because i feel if you're doing gaming you need to be putting the majority of your money into your graphics card your graphics card should be the single handed most expensive piece inside your computer hands down period i don't care who you are the reality is if you are a gamer the GPU needs to be once again the most expensive part in your computer end of story dot period ship it yes that is my opinion on that now the AMD cpus are still very strong the 8350 came out in 2012 and folks if you haven't looked at a calendar lately we are moving into 2015 it is getting a little bit old but it is still one of those horses that just won't die and it just keeps going so the 8350 is still might go - processor at the $200 range when it just comes to all-out value now there's a lot of debate of whether or not it's faster or slower than its Intel counterpart at the same price range which would be the B 4690k from Intel which is a new CPU by the way it launched in June of 2014 both are great CPUs but Intel's a little more power efficient and a little bit more powerful on some applications but the 8350 beats it and some others they trade a lot of blows and that's the kind of thing you're gonna notice now when it comes to the lower end CPUs now I would recommend going with an 80 350 if you are an AMD fan now if you're not and you have absolutely no bias my personal payment opinion would be to go with the 4690k because I feel that Intel's Algar algorithm novela grew the measure makes sense Intel's architecture is going to be a little bit more tailored to and biased when it comes to the developers of multi-threaded applications multi-threaded applications are becoming more the norm or single core performance is not fantastic on AMD and a lot of these programs are going to start looking to do multi-threading functionality inside of their api's which is going to say the more cores or more threads the better now that's why I would say the 8350 is pretty strong if you're going to be doing like live streaming or live game streaming or recording or rendering videos and you had to choose between the 4690k or the 8350 I really feel like it's a toss-up I've owned both CPUs I started this channel with an AMD 8350 and it served me very well and I publicly said moving from the 8350 over to the 3770k back in 2013 was the most costly non-beneficial move I ever made with a CPU so that's saying something I noticed absolutely no difference whatsoever with day-to-day processing power or gaming experiences or even rendering experiences when moving from one to the other I mean the Intel rendered a little bit faster but if we're talking a difference of two minutes yeah if you're writing a bit rendering videos as much as I am two minutes could really add up over time but you know for the most person before the moat the average person maybe doing one or two videos a week you're not going to you know for four minutes a week is not gonna add up to a whole lot of time for you now like the 59 60 X which I'm currently using which is rendering videos at three times real time rate which means I can render a 12-minute video in four minutes that actually matters but the 59 60 X that's not a processor I would really even recommend for the average consumer I mean it's got very expensive motherboard requirements very expensive ddr4 requirements I don't even really want to include it in this video I kind of regret that I even brought it up right now but yeah we'll do a separate video in the future about X 99 and 59 60 X because I get a lot of people saying should I upgrade from the 4790k to the X 99 59 60 X oh my gosh I feel like I should have done that and it's like what are you doing with your computer they say things like oh I'm just gaming oh yeah bro you're not gonna notice any differences in fact gaming's the games tend to be slightly faster sometimes on the 4790k than the 59 60 X so once again the CPUs are also tailored to a certain function 59 60 X 16 threads absolute rendering beasts and I went with it because I am obviously rendering videos like this one which you're watching right now yeah so AMD is not something I feel that people should be overlooking and I'm saying that loud and proud there's a lot of people who are gonna be fanboys of Intel and just be livid that I even said consider getting an AMD CPU because they are gonna be like brah Intel is the best you gotta go in till you gotta go in till make out AMD is garbage and they're like pooping all over themselves while they're saying it and I really hate that mentality I don't like fanboy ISM it only makes it harder for new comers to the PC community try to decide what to buy so if you're finding yourself listening to this video right now and you're on the edge and you just don't know what to get your you're looking at your shopping carts and you're looking at PC part picker and you just can't decide on a limited budget I've only got $700 should I get the I 5 you know 3,200 or whatever it is I'm sorry guys I don't know a lot of the i-5 numbers by heart a little bit of a snob in the sense that I have you know i7 stuff but again that I would never say go get an i7 bra and get a cheap GPU now that just doesn't make any sense but if you're finding yourself on the fence thinking about getting a lower end I five because you just are scared of the AMD 8350 or the 59 70 or whatever it is the five gigahertz CPU and AMD side don't let people scare you away from that there are fanboys out there and do nothing but try and steer you towards a brand out of blind loyalty rather than being realistic about performance of these CPUs with CPUs have come a long way in the last ten years some people don't know this I worked at CPU or I worked at CPU yes I worked at CPU now I worked at Circuit City in 2000 and was there when the very first AMD 1 gigahertz CPU ship they were the first to hit the 1 gigahertz mark and it was it was great everyone was just loving the fact that technology was moving fast but the reality here is that technology is not moving as fast as it used to when it comes to CPUs because we're hitting the limits of where we can go on the current you know silicon or or the structure that makes up the CPU and it's really making it difficult for people to decide if you're a gamer by Intel be loud be proud if you're livestreamer by something like the 8350 and be proud if you're the kind of person that's like me where you're willing to spend more and say I will pay gladly 20 to 30% more to simply say I have the best then by all means go at Intel that would be really the only thing I could suggest I mean there are no other options AMD or Intel but just if you hear one message in this video and you're new to buying a computer are you looking to build your first computer do not be afraid of going AMD in fact look at their graphics cards their graphics cards are an amazing offering in fact for the longest time they were just stomping all over Nvidia I mean the 7000 series of 7970 gigahertz Edition was destroying the 680 back in 2012 and everything about the competition between AMD and NVIDIA was just great for the consumer so don't let people scare you make sure you get what's right for you and please listen to as many people as you can when it comes to suggestions that are reputable reviewers and come up with a decision that makes sense for you guys have been Jays two cents thanks for listening to this video today go ahead and ask your questions on Twitter to me directly if you have any questions or head on over to Facebook them over there as well and as always guys I will see you in the next one you
