Have additional questions or would you like to use more cache?
You're trying to decide between CPU threads and cache size for your first build. It sounds like you're weighing how many threads versus cache memory impacts performance. For your examples, the Intel Core i7 has 8 cores and 8 threads with a decent cache, while the AMD Ryzen offers more threads but less cache. Generally, more threads can help with multitasking, but cache size matters more for single-threaded performance. If you need a balance, aim for at least 6 cores and consider cache capacity based on your workload. Let me know if you want more details!
examine CPU reviews—they reveal far more than just the official specifications.
Discussing the models you're referring to. The AMD CPU features a larger cache compared to Intel's, with Intel's L3 cache described as "intel smart cache." The size of Intel's L3 cache isn't specified, but an example given is 32MB for a 3700X. The Ryzen model you mentioned has a similar cache size.
In short, a 9th generation i7 would be a strong choice if you clarify the models you're looking at. This way, we can offer a more targeted suggestion.
I always choose more cores and threads with better cooling instead of chasing higher frame rates. It depends on your preferences, I suppose.
I considered its L2 cache. Performance remained unaffected. Interestingly, the AMD version is more affordable.
