CPUs for games: purchase advice, tips and views of APUS for gaming without video card

Processors and APUS for games

Our special special is about CPUs for gaming PC. We look at the performance and prices for the two mainstream sockets AMD AM4 and Intel 1200 to offer you a purchase advice, also look at the question of whether the integrated graphics units that offer some CPUs are also playful. We also explain some general things around CPUs to make a decision easier for you. Thus, we also start and explain what the important corner points are to which you should pay attention to a CPU.

Tote, cores and more thanks thanks to SMT

Modern CPUs have multiple cores, and for the processors that are incurred for a current gaming PC, the cores may simultaneously process two threads, which also calls SMT (Simultaneous Multithreading). Basically, from a four-core virtually an eight-core, a twelve-core and so on.

Intel Core I9-11900K with 8 cores and 16 threads for 520 euros Source: Intel we take as an example a Core I3-10100: This has four cores and can manage eight threads. Therefore, he could also use this advantage for games that of more than four cores have an advantage and is suitable for under 100 euros for a gaming budget PC. On the other hand, however, the Core i3-10100 would not quite as fast as a CPU from the same Intel family, which has eight real cores, but no SMT - such a model there is not a model with the modern Intel CPUs anyway, so that this consideration does not matter when buying. Also at AMD it is similar: All Ryzen CPUs from the 3000 series have SMT, with the exception of the Ryzen 5 3500X, which offers six cores and threads. An eight-core-ryzen without SMT, which one could compare with a square ryes with SMT, but also does not exist. Therefore and because we recommend only CPU with SMT for our buying tips anyway, make the consideration on the subject, whether one takes a CPU with or without SMT, anyway no sense. In the end, only two things are important for the far most users anyway: what does the CPU do, and what does it cost? Purchase advice and practical tests are therefore essential to make a decision. Also at clock you can not see how good or bad is a CPU.

Only when it is the same CPU architecture and family and the number of cores and threads is identical, one can close from the clock to the performance. In such a case, one can say: has a model 10 percent more clock, are also up to 10 percent more power in it. But whether a hexagonal kernel with quite high stroke is faster than the eight cherry from the same CPU family with a little lower stroke, can only be said more precisely by tests. In some games or applications, the key number is the more important factor, but in other games and applications but the clock - it is often important, which focuses on your everyday life on the PC. Thus, for certain professional applications or ambitious semi professionals, a very expensive CPU may be useful for one of the so-called enthusiasts sockets, although these CPUs are not better than much cheaper mainstream socket processors in games and many normal applications. Partly the professional CPUs are even slower and are so expensive because they offer an extremely high number of cores for very specific scenarios. Who does not know what we mean with pedestal , is clarified on the next page.
