22 December 2020 | Computers, How Does it Work?, Video | 2 comments
2020 has been a crap year all around, but the battle of the fastest processor has been pretty interesting.
AMD is rising, Intel seems to be falling, and Apple recently switched to their own home-grown ARM-based chips.
So, which is best? Which CPU is the fastest?
As usual, it’s complicated…
Going forward, let’s just say that 2021 will be an even more interesting year as the battle heats up and consumers get more speed, lower power consumption, and even lower prices!
Off we go:
Happy Holidays!!

In my experience AMD products are total absolute garbage, regardless of specs. Every single time I tried them, there is a problem with OS, software incompatibility. When it comes to software and hardware, there’s a simple rule to follow, use whatever there is more in the market, if you don’t, you’ll run into problems and be wasting your life making things work. So if you want a computer, it has to be intel, nvidia, windows. If you and a phone it has to be qualcomm and android. Life is simple.
Way back in the day, I tried AMD… Didn’t matter if it was VIA chipset or whatever the other one was – they ALWAYS crashed more than Intel-based stuff. A friend of mine years later told me he didn’t mind AMD because they’re cheaper, and his computer ‘only’ crashes like once a week. To me, that’s absurd. I always use Intel, and my machines have always been rock-solid. Crashes and lock-ups only occur when a component has failed, not once a week!
