Hi,
Upon researching which CPU to use for my new system, it turns out that Intel can "only" offer an 8-Core CPU, while AMD can offer 16-Core technology. However, it would seem that somehow Intel's hardware is more powerfull. If I check system requirements for various software suites, they mention Intel i5 (which is a quad-core) or an AMD 8-core as recommended... What can explain this difference?
Does this hold true for Server CPU's aswell?
As I've said, AMD can offer 16 core CPU's, Intel (as far as I've found) is limited to 8 cores.
I'm planning on using my system for 3D graphics creation, music production and gaming.
So, which CPU should I use?
Thanks a lot for your feedback,
Gibrril
