AMD or Intel?

Hello rahul1,

A more important question would be, what GPU are you planning on using?

I'd recommend slapping a GTX 770 or 780 in the computer, and letting that do the heavy lifting. Just make sure to have adequate RAM as well, and you should be fine, regardless of AMD or Intel.

Thanks!

He's right. Most people will swear by Intel no matter what the case is. While for most purposes Intel is the way to go, in terms of being stable and reliable, AMD's architecture has higher throughput for raw processing. This includes rendering for animations.

not just because i run AMD, but because AMD is better for such tasks as you are looking for, with the highest current rating for DDR3 being 1600 via Intel, and DDR3-1866 via AMD FX Series.

If you are uninterested in Overclocking you will have superior performance out of the AMD chip with higher performance RAM to use for such things as Adobe Premier Pro etc. Additionally, if you use an AMD Firepro graphic design graphics card you can have higher performance with rendering the geometries using AMD Optimized Tessellation.

Plus, AMD is cheaper, though consumes more power, runs a lot cooler than Intel chips.

I have used Intel in every single I've ever had and still, AMD beats Intel in some things.. but as said before, it draws a lot more power and run way hotter than Intel

Intel is better in single threaded tasks and power efficiency

am i just not making myself clear enough? Intel is by far hotter, My roommates Core2Duo turned his master bedroom into a sauna, his new i5-4670 running on stock clocks with a liquid cooler still a sauna, my series of AMD chips? cool running, the coolest i had ever ran with AMD was my FX-8320 always on heavy loads with 40C and under with idle, my roommates 4670 idles at 40C and peaks to 60C...

i don't follow how that makes AMD hotter.

it is that very reason i resort to using solid facts of real world practice when i speak upon CPU manufacturers now, last time i said "AMD simply is better." with no fact, i nearly started WW3. So now i put fact behind my words, and yes i will at times say Intel is better, but in this current situation, AMD is the clear choice, my Processing in Adobe Premier is so fast, i love the fact that using AMD GPU's enables HPC computing off the GPUs which cuts my encoding time nearly in half over my Roommates Intel.

My Core2Duo never went over 60c - I literally set shutdown temp in BIOS at 60c.

My I7-4770 peaks 75c after 40 minutes of Prime95 torture test. If that's hot, then you are a very sensitive person.

p95? got it to 50C

do not refer to result compiled from Windows 8, it uses a software based clock keeping system which is affected by overclocks and will report that a 30 benchmark only took 5 minutes depending on the overclocking.

whats another thing is, how prepared were these results? was the buggy core parking disabled for them all? otherwise these results are based on anything but 100% of the FX processor, unpark it and you get completely different results.

I unparked my CPU this morning and doubled my framerate in STO maxed resolution, gonna go and run some 3DMark tests on unparked cores.

My current idle temp is just over 15C

Those are benchmarks, real life performance is diferrent.. AMD has proven to be better at multitasking, Intel is better in single threaded applications

SOLUTIONS given thus far:

AMD: Multitasking capability (perfect for someone interested in making videos and such)
Intel: takes less power to operate... (um... ok, but that's not quite a selling point)

So with AMD claiming the OP's answer, i figure we can close this soon to be flame war and move on.

that is b####, there is a difference between memory controller and highest rating for DDR3.
Memory controller is a very small factor, you can still run 2400mz on intel aswell as AMD.


Actually you will see bigger performance increase by default with intel, and can overclock AMD better.
And the ram part again.



AMD workstation card, could aswell use a nvidia workstation card. He shouldn't even consider a workstationcard.


AMD is cheaper, you really wouldn't notice it in your electric bill.
Intel runs cooler than AMD.

Okay without you giving a budget we cannot really decide.

Intel will be better.
Intel have a IGP, which will compute unless you dont have a dedicated GPU.
All new rendering-software support GPU- acceleration, so less stress will be put on the CPU-cores.
GPU is also better at computing than CPU, so it will also go faster.

AMD modules share resources on many thing.

Rendering and such will benefit on having higher speed ram. 2133Mhz should be fine.
Rendering doesn't depend on the CAS latency as much as gaming do, so you can easily get CL11.

GPU

This is very important.
Check up what the software you will be using utilize the best.

The solution is pure wrong.
Nobody thought of intel IGP can compute.


I would love to hear a budget from OP, as I wont recommend intel if he have a lower budget $1000-$1200.
