Intel processors typically offer better single-core speed, whereas AMD models usually provide more threads. Games don’t run all available threads, so fewer threads aren’t a major issue, though quicker cores still matter. This is just a broad idea and doesn’t apply to every Intel versus every AMD CPU. The definition of 'fast' varies, but around 3000Mhz at CL15 is the lowest acceptable, while 3200Mhz at CL14 or 3600Mhz at CL16 are considered top choices.
For every clock, IPC AMD would come out ahead. Intel only edges out AMD because of their significantly faster clock rates. Single-threaded AMD performs well or even surpasses them in many benchmarks, while multithreaded AMD struggles compared to Intel. For a 3700x processor, the optimal speeds for top performance are around 3600mhz due to Fclock, or the rates at which the Infinity Fabric communicates as it matches memory clock speeds up to 3600mhz.
It depends One of the reasons is simply it can boost higher because it only has one ccx allowing it to not have as much latency as AMD Yea It has multiple ccxs which introduces latency and for the interconnect to work faster for it to allow the ccxs to communicate faster it needs fast ram That's the super basic explanation but it should do the job
Sure, that should be fine. If you locate a bit cheaper CAS latency memory, it might be worth looking into. It provides a slight performance improvement.
