Today we're comparing the cheapest AMD AM5 Six Core CPU with the cheapest Intel 1700 Six Core CPU to see which is better in CPU processor intensive tasks and gaming.

Test Specs:
i5 12400F
R5 7400F
32GB 6400MHz DDR5
Windows 10

So 7400f isn’t bad?

My god it is just Intel naming

AMD be like: "i am you now"

I think you can disable the rgb in bios

fresh timber

#

Next they'll lock overclocking to oc capable cpu models and slap a K on the name

misty sparrow
#

i don't see how else they can label a CPU as having no integrated graphics or overclocking

#

just add an "F" or a "K" because people already know

fresh timber
#

i thik all cpus should be unlocked

nocturne flicker
#

I mean, they'd have to pull a bad PR move and lock down OC in the first place to get to that point

fresh timber
#

i thnk all motherboiards should bne unlocked

dense locust
#

Didn’t Amd used to use e to denote if a cpu had graphics

fresh timber
#

ur a slime

#

did u know that

dense locust
fresh timber
misty sparrow
#

you really are addicted to slime girls huh

nocturne flicker
#

AMD used G for their integrated graphics, e was for efficiency models

misty sparrow
#

people would have to go "hmm what does the G mean" and look it up for each one they don't know

nocturne flicker
#

G is for Graphics derpyBlob

E is for Efficiency

I can’t get my pc to boot

AMD used to use U, H, C, HS and HX

if i could get x3d for $500 id do it

I ran out of usb headers on my motherboard so I ran an old phone charging cable through the gap between my gpu and case to plug in my aio

the app should have built-in coupons too, coupons for your store and coupons usable everywhere. fyi

idle nexus

the way I see it, Edge is just Chrome minus Google's bs

It hurt when I bit into it

idle nexus
#

insta-BSOD lol

misty sparrow
#

i don't even know who the tips go to so i never tip

idle nexus
#

tips go to driver

#

everyone should have to work a job that depends on tips in their life imo

#

you always tip at least something once you do fr lol

fresh timber
#

hey ggod

misty sparrow
#

it should be up to businesses to give livable wages instead of reliance on tips

fresh timber
#

this is 3200

idle nexus
#

I get it tho. It's like, "yo tell your employer to pay you instead of me wth"

idle nexus
idle nexus
#

btw for better ycroncher score, lock pages in memory

fresh timber
#

LOCK PAGES

idle nexus
#

which, uh offhand is in Control Panel... actually just press Start key & search Local Security Policy

#

then iirc it's in Local Policy>User Rights Assignment

#

remembering these things is such a marketable skill

chrome mirage
fresh timber
idle nexus
fresh timber
#

doe that negativly affect other stuff

idle nexus
#

it basically disables paging

nocturne flicker
idle nexus
#

so it could be bad if you run out of RAM

#

but otherwise, it should make your computer slightly faster since it won't push stuff from memory onto an M.2

#

could also disable memory compression

#

not sure either really has that large of an impact but

#

FCLK 2200. I wonder if I could actually get this stable for daily fr

#

the only problem is, I'm for sure gonna end up borking win11 in the process aren't I?

#

oh well too late

fresh timber
#

how much ur 7900x3d cost u buddy

honest birch
#

He should've gotten 7950X3D

idle nexus
#

eh let's just say an amount that justified getting it lol

#

replacement grill parts are so cost prohibitive like

#

why not just say the price is, "just buy a new grill dammit"

#

heck BSOD browsing Amazon lol

fresh timber

share me the 9950x3d

idle nexus
#

6600c30 1:1 not looking very achievable rn. I think I should probably just do 6400 meh

dusk knot
#

Still better than my ram

idle nexus
#

6600c30 on 64gb would be pretty heckin nice

#

will I notice the difference in everyday use? is it worth the time & effort to get there, reinstall inevitably borked win11, etc.? will anything actually be better other than I get to say, "look what I did?"

#

the answer to all of those questions is no

cedar compass
#

64gb is unstable after 6400mhz for me

idle nexus
#

okay... trying 6600c28-41-43-34@1.65v

#

in 1:1?

#

BSOD again

#

dammit

#

okay 6400 now

#

I don't wanna do this for a week

cedar compass
#

6400mhz is ok

idle nexus
#

ya I think I can sleep okay at night with 6400

fresh timber
#

if i went am5 and didnt wanna suffer, 6400 or 6000 cl28

idle nexus
#

I'm considering just putting 6200 again

#

I had to update BIOS

#

that's what started this

fresh timber
#

im a retired ram overclocker

idle nexus
#

cuz I kept having issues with some GPIO thing

#

& having functional USB is kinda nice

#

or maybe I'll just go stupid & throw spaghetti at trying to get 2:1 8000 to run lol

fresh timber
#

2:1 8000?

#

is that even worth

idle nexus
#

nah to heck with that

#

not really afik

#

I got better ycruncher scores with 6400 1:1 than 8000 with 2x16gb

#

I think it's because I really dunno what SCLs should run at 8k

cedar compass
#

I may get better kit later couse core ultra loves faster ram perfection

fresh timber
#

48gb ram is kinda appealling 🤔

cedar compass
#

trident royal don't have 64gb kit in gold color F

fresh timber
cedar compass
#

but they have 96gb kit in gold cc

idle nexus
#

nah get the 32gb klevs for $75/stick

#

6400c28 is running on VT3

fresh timber
#

id get 96gb if i wanted to spend that much, would be a flex

idle nexus
#

didn't even insta-BSOD this time noice

#

$150 for 2x32gb DR A-die

fresh timber
#

good

idle nexus
#

$300 for 4x32gb DR A-die... that's like 128gb of RAMz

fresh timber
#

get 96gb to flex

#

192gb ez

cedar compass
#

that's so stupid g.skill have gold kits for every size except 64gb lmao

they have 32 48 96

cedar compass
fresh timber

under $800

#

ideally $700

#

i dont really care if it will provide a relatively lower amount of performance

as long as it is great for expandibility or upgradability

fresh timber

i really just put a motherboard that looks asa premium as the one i have rn lol

o lord

#

O LORD

dense locust
fresh timber
#

oh yeah the bundle is alotu cheaper

silk sonnet
fresh timber
#

whch one chat,

#

9900x

#

for $700 9950x damn

rancid juniper
#

if you do more than just gaming (software that uses alot of cpu) then go for the 9900x bundle, if not then go for the 9700x

fresh timber
#

whats the perfroamnce diffrence i wonder

rancid juniper
#

not much in games i presume

#

just a diff in heavy multicore applications

fresh timber
#

same single threaded performance

rancid juniper
#

yea so gaming wont matter much

dense locust
#

At that price I’d just recommend a console

fresh timber
#

im liking the 7700x price, right up my ally

Unless you need a pc for other tasks besides gaming

it go bye bye

it'll tell you if your 13600K is borked

fresh timber
#

linepack is fine

#

it doenst like the xmp of one of my ram kits

rancid juniper
fresh timber
#

but if i cant run 4000mt/s ram why the hell am i goig to keep this paltform

#

i play cpu heavy stuff anyways

#

9700x looks worth on that chart ngl

rancid juniper
#

so technically if you bought the 7700x it would be no different from a 13600k

sinful blade
silk sonnet
#

um

fresh timber
#

their will be a diffrence

silk sonnet
#

like under 800, ideally 700

rancid juniper
fresh timber
#

i think theirs a diffrence

#

right

#

3200 vs 6000

rancid juniper
#

one is faster ya

frigid stag
#

C16 vs c30

rancid juniper
#

but idk up to yu

It’s faster if you need more bandwidth

fresh timber

i still struggle to find benchmarks that really compare

every other test i be seeing be using 4000

rancid juniper
#

and some others are straight up fake

frigid stag
#

Doubt there’s any difference if you’re not at 1080p with a 4090

#

Even then it’s minimal

fresh timber
#

im playing 1440p low medium anyways for most my games

#

ddr5 has the 15 low advantage while having the same fps

fresh timber
#

dam cyberpunk got a good jump

sweet phoenix
#

3050 is an insta no

fresh timber
#

id love a 3050 6gb lp 👅

frigid stag
#

Has to really cheap to be worth buying

fresh timber
#

ok yeah it aint worth

#

some games get 20fps while alot get 2 fps

#

only worth is the x3d

#

i wish they tested games i played, cant ask for everything

frigid stag
#

The gains you seek are in the gpu

#

Better gpu more performance especially in 1440

fresh timber
#

no stock 👅

#

rip

frigid stag
#

True

#

😧

fresh timber
#

gpu bottlenecking at 1440p med-low

silk sonnet
#

@sweet phoenix then what prebuilt would you recommend for by budget?

fresh timber
#

a game i play

#

yeahhh gpu goin make it bigger

#

ill be on the lookut for the $500 ish gpus i guess

#

9060??

#

lmfao this is in stock

#

50 series in stock, thats like crazy

sinful blade
#

To give you an example why you don’t want a 3050, it’s the same performance of a 1660 super, which I bought at $80

#

@silk sonnet

dense locust
fresh timber
#

im not buying that anyways, its a small boy

#

slop has stock but peak doesnt

fresh timber
#

this is crazy

silk sonnet
#

compared to this one: CyberPowerPC
CyberPowerPC - Gamer Xtreme Gaming Desktop - Intel Core i5-14400F - 16GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 8GB - 1TB SSD - Black

fresh timber
#

its like they want me to buy a 5070

silk sonnet
#

custom built?

sinful blade
#

Yes

fresh timber
#

yes

silk sonnet
#

just looking at prebuilts as a backup thats all

gray kelp
#

My old monitor I am using lets me increase refresh rate in this, interesting, way... should I even touch this?

fresh timber
#

a backup?

silk sonnet
#

my situation is weird

idle nexus
#

do highest tbh

idle nexus
#

and you could check in monitor's settings (like the buttons on the heckin thing) for settings like "Response Time" & set it to highest too

gray kelp
idle nexus
#

heck maybe that's why the asteriks are there

fresh timber
#

aura farming

silk sonnet
#

also slightly cheaper

sinful blade
#

But I’d highly suggest diy

silk sonnet
#

also if you would recommend a prebuilt in the same or lower price range what would it be?

fresh timber
#

6900xt

idle nexus
#

DIY is better value & you learn in the process

#

get that, "heck ya, I built that" feelling like when you finish a big Lego set

#

or change your own oil

fresh timber
#

7700xt to 6900xt? all you loose is av1 codec

idle nexus
#

or a light fixture

#

you get it lol

sinful blade
dense locust
#

You should buy used parts at that price point

fresh timber
sinful blade
#

Refurbished and saves $200

fresh timber
#

@frigid stag thinkin about it a oled would bring a better upgrade

frigid stag
#

Ye for sure

#

240 or 360hz

fresh timber
#

a oled would smooth everything els

#

i have 240, i cant reach it tho lol

frigid stag
#

Ye need a better gpu probably

#

Especially for cod

nocturne flicker
#

cod better than CoD

fresh timber
#

a oled at 140-180 fps would feel better than a ips with new gpu running a 240

silk sonnet
#

I don’t really want a refurbished

unreal trail
sinful blade
frigid stag
#

It’s used pretty much

#

Same thing just with warranty probably

fresh timber
#

referbished is fine

sinful blade
#

Most refurbished PCs are simple returns.
Meaning one of the following:
someone used it for an hour and returned.
They didn’t even open it and returned
They opened it, returned it.

dusk knot
#

Hm

sinful blade
#

That is 90% of returns

fresh timber
#

why woudltn u want openbox/referb, cheaper and same protections

frigid stag
#

That’s open box afaik

#

Refurb usually means rma’d but fixed or just used

sinful blade
frigid stag
#

I’ve seen open box deals, it’s just not sealed box

#

The wrapper’s been opened

fresh timber
#

does comsetic damange really matter

sinful blade
fresh timber
#

if the core protduct fuctions as intended, thats a win for me

sinful blade
#

Maybe there’s another deal somewhere, but seeing as this is sold and shipped by Newegg

nocturne flicker
#

Unless it is an ASUS product and try to use the warranty derpyBlob

sinful blade
#

There’s a whole lot of warranty on it

nocturne flicker
#

Then it'll matterderpyBlob

sinful blade
#

Luckily that’s an msi product

honest birch
#

im high asf and the tornado sirens are going off LMAO

sinful blade
honest birch

full brick house

fresh timber
#

@worthy meteor this is funy

#

i generate so much heat in my room that when i walk into the hallway going to my room its hot asf

#

@sinful blade

#

but before i walk into it, very cold and nice

silk sonnet
#

I just realized the performance difference between the 3050 and 3060

#

its wild

#

but like

icy ore
#

Oh yeah crazy diff

silk sonnet
#

$599 for i5 14th gen is crazy

#

like ddr5 ram?

#

i play like mincraft a majority of the time

#

maybe some flight sim at most

#

im probably assuming it wont get me very far for 3d modelling and video editing

#

but like I can always upgrade when I really need to

frigid stag
silk sonnet
#

the 3050?

sinful blade
tranquil pebble
#

the 3050 is only good at wasting your money

rough zinc

Never get a xx50 card in general these days

Not anymore

That GPU had a good rep for some time

#

Obv not now

frigid stag
#

1050 ti is like 7 years old

rancid juniper
#

50 class died after GTX 1650 imo

rough zinc
#

Almost 10 years old by now i think

#

Came out 2015 didn't it?

sinful blade
#

But it’s now very not

frigid stag
#

2016 or 2017 iirc

rancid juniper
#

Much sad

silk sonnet
frigid stag
#

1650 is like still the current fortnite pc gpu kekw

#

Kids buying 1200$ pcs for fortnite

rancid juniper
silk sonnet
#

i dont really want a refurbished

frigid stag
#

With a 1650 and some random i3 or i5

rough zinc
#

Close enough

sinful blade
#

I’m telling you, the “refurbished” tag doesn’t mean anything

silk sonnet
#

the msi codex I was talking about earlier has similar specs, just a 13th gen instead of 14th

rancid juniper
#

3050 never had good rep lmfao

sinful blade
rough zinc
#

just get a 4090

rancid juniper
main sinew
#

I use a 4060 and it’s good

frigid stag
#

Improvement is a strong word

tranquil pebble
#

Imagine RTX 5010... with missing ROPs

sinful blade
rough zinc
#

A 4060 will perform good, but it's overpriced af for what you're getting

silk sonnet
#

im also willing to do custom build, its just that the gpus are kind of expensive

silk sonnet
#

even used ones

sinful blade
frigid stag
#

Used ones are pretty cheap

#

If you’re not getting a 40 series

sinful blade
#

6700xt is a great gpu for used

nocturne flicker
frigid stag
#

Lol wtf there’s a 5070 for 280

sinful blade
#

If you have Facebook marketplace, bulk sellers will often sell at a discount

rancid juniper
#

Can do 1440p

silk sonnet
nocturne flicker
#

DDR RAM actually, VRAM too good for 5010

frigid stag
#

And they changed the price immediately 💀

silk sonnet
#

on ebay, that is

main sinew
#

Just wait for a discount price

tranquil pebble
sinful blade
#

Look on Mercari(if in US), jawa(US), eBay, Facebook marketplace

rough zinc
#

Whats the budget he's working with?

nocturne flicker
sinful blade
#

900

frigid stag
rough zinc
#

...$900?

sinful blade
#

I believe so

#

Bacca made a solid list earlier

lavish stag
#

Can u trust B and H

nocturne flicker
#

Yes

sinful blade
#

Yes

silk sonnet
#

Yeah around that

#

Without the gpu, case and windows, the thing is 500

#

Which I guess is pretty solid

#

What if gpu manufactures just started manufacturing more?

rough zinc
#

Don't gotta pay for windows, all activation does is let you customize things

idle nexus
#

Does anyone use something other than Google Messenger on Android? Something with AdGuard keeps signing me out but I'd rather use something else than restrict adguard at all when it comes to heckin spying Google

#

I'd stay with the Samsung messenger thing but it doesn't look like it's getting RCS

rough zinc
#

Nah google messenger is best

#

Samsung messenger is also getting discontinued

#

Don't think the S25 even comes with it anymore

idle nexus
#

& SMS Organizer hasn't been updated in like 6 months so I dunno if support ended or not

rough zinc
#

AdGuard signing you out is weird, never had that issue before

idle nexus
#

I think it's something about tokens expiring I dunno. It happens on YouTube too

idle nexus
rough zinc
#

Yeah

idle nexus
#

Heck maybe I should reinstall or something

fresh timber
#

I use imessage

silk sonnet
#

ASRock AMD Radeon RX 6600 Challenger White 8GB GDDR6 Graphics Card 0dB Silent Cooling 128-bit 7680 x 4320 DisplayPort HDMI 14 Gbps Dual Fan 7nm

Is this one good?

idle nexus
#

I haven't had iPhone since XS Max. These days it's hard to decide which one I dislike more lol

fresh timber
#

for what

silk sonnet
#

Gaming, 3d modeling, video editing and that jazz

frigid stag
#

Probably need nvidia then

idle nexus
frigid stag
#

For 3D modelling

rough zinc
#

Depends what program

fresh timber
#

that a bad price

#

ngl

#

I’m ngl I think I forgot to tip

silk sonnet
#

Overall how is it, it cost $200

fresh timber
#

And their already on their way

#

That was fast

silk sonnet
#

I’m not really doing anything intense

fresh timber
#

Neo

#

They almost here too

sinful blade
#

How much is a 2080ti for you @silk sonnet

silk sonnet
#

Wdym how much

sinful blade
#

How much is the cheapest 2080ti for you?

silk sonnet
#

Does this produce include a cpu fan already?

sinful blade
#

Don’t get the 8400f

#

It’s just a neutered cpu

#

Get the 7500f

silk sonnet
#

Bacca picked it

#

What does neutered mean?

rough zinc
#

It's 💩

sinful blade
#

^

#

Bacca might’ve had a deal in mind

mortal grail
#

Bacca always has a deal in mind

#

More reliable than me lol

silk sonnet
sweet phoenix
silk sonnet
#

Bruh

#

Hol up

sweet phoenix
#

I suggested you the 7500f

#

On aliexpress

sinful blade
sweet phoenix
sinful blade
#

2080ti, 3070, 4070, 6700xt, 6800

silk sonnet
#

Nvm

silk sonnet
sinful blade
#

Bacca can do that better than I @sweet phoenix

sweet phoenix
#

Not atm

#

You'd have to wait till tmrw

silk sonnet
#

K

sweet phoenix
#

The places I look post on week days

silk sonnet
#

Also it says the 8400F is faster because of the clock speed or something

#

Why is the 7500F better

#

Can some please elaborate?

sweet phoenix
silk sonnet
#

Intel?

sweet phoenix
#

The 8400f has the cpu performance of a 5600/x, it has much less cache than the 7500f

#

The 7500f is an igpuless 7600 with a minor downclock

sinful blade
silk sonnet
#

I didn’t really have intel in mind for my first gpu lol

sinful blade
#

I’ll try to find a used gpu in a sec

silk sonnet
#

Maybe it’s good idk

sinful blade
#

Gotta finish this d2 thing

dusk knot
#

hm...destiny 2

fresh timber
silk sonnet
#

ok so here we go:

#

custom built

#

$700

#

ryzen 7500F

#

Intel ARC A750

#

32 gigs of DDR5 ram

#

1 tb ram

#

Prebuilt:

#

$830

#

Intel 13th gen

#

it5

#

i5

#

4060

#

16 gigs DDR5

#

or

#

$599

#

Intel i5 14th gen

#

16 gigs DDR5

#

3050(i know i know)

#

1 tb

#

soooooo

#

guys

#

which one

#

@sweet phoenix and @sinful blade

#

(sorry for the ping)

mortal grail
#

599 one is awful

silk sonnet
#

its 599

rough zinc
#

Still awful

mortal grail
#

Yeah I know

#

I said 599 lol

silk sonnet
#

its a 3050 whatever

#

its very cheap however

#

thats an upside for me

sinful blade
#

It’s not worth the 599

mortal grail
#

For 600 that's expensive

#

You can get over 2x the fps in either of the other 2

silk sonnet
#

so thats eliminiated

mortal grail
#

That's just how bad the 3050 is

#

Yep

silk sonnet
#

the msi vs custom built

#

or there is one more expensive and one backordered

mortal grail
#

The 700 one sounds ok but I wouldn't put an a750 in it

silk sonnet
#

bacca chose it

mortal grail
#

A750 while a decent card, intel gpus are not for the casual user

silk sonnet
#

if there is a better option link it

sinful blade
#

Here’s a used 3070 FE

silk sonnet
mortal grail
#

Could just buy another used gpu then sell the a750

#

If you love messing with settings, fixing daily issues, stuff like that

#

A750 is great value

sinful blade
sweet phoenix
#

It was just the only option on hand

mortal grail
#

To be like "Just gaming" it's a bit overwhelming ngl

sinful blade
#

2080ti FE

mortal grail
sweet phoenix
#

I said wait till tmrw and I will find you a better option

mortal grail
#

Ah

velvet summit
sweet phoenix
#

I've also found you three other options that sold because you weren't purchasing when you asked for them

silk sonnet
#

are the other components in the custom build good?

mortal grail
#

Ehhh

silk sonnet
#

the pc is like 460 without the gpu, case and windows btw

silk sonnet
sinful blade
#

You dont need to buy windows

silk sonnet
#

just saying

mortal grail
#

Could be ok?

sweet phoenix
mortal grail
#

I only saw 4 out of 7 or 8 major components with no details

#

No ssd name no psu name, case, ram name, motherboard etc

silk sonnet
#

look at the partpicker list

#

thats what I have

#

in mind atleast

sweet phoenix
#

Better psu and mobo would give you more upgradability, but thats up to you

mortal grail
#

3070 being the absolute max

silk sonnet
#

well

#

I surely want the mobo to have better upgradability

#

is there a better one than the part pickers list

#

thats isnt too expensive?

#

compared to that one

silk sonnet
#

so like

#

anything else?
