Both are true, but that\u2019s a shallow interpretation of the role of processors in your gaming rig\u2019s performance. Standard processes such as running the operating system and other tasks aside, here are some of the more relevant factors that can be affected by a processor.<\/p><ul><li><strong>Loading times<\/strong> \u2013 Stronger processors can sort through the data necessary for game assets to load. This factor is also affected by the type of storage device (NVME\/SSD\/HDD) where the important data is stored. The better the processor, the less time you have to spend looking at loading screens.<\/li><li><strong>Streaming<\/strong> \u2013 Some games tend to load files even when you\u2019re already in the game. A good processor will be able to \u201cstream\u201d game assets as needed, allowing for smoother transitions as you move from one place to another. On a slow processor, it might take time for some objects to fully render, causing them to suddenly pop up or even load only partially as rough textures or \u201cskeletons\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Framerate<\/strong> \u2013 How many frames per second (FPS) your gaming rig can render when playing. A better processor combined with a good graphics card will result in higher FPS counts. In some cases, a slow processor\u2019s limited power can hold back a high-end graphics card, causing a \u201cbottleneck\u201d and keeping the FPS count from going any higher.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-tasking<\/strong> \u2013 It\u2019s common for gamers to have several programs running alongside their resource-intensive games. This is especially true for those who prefer streaming their games on popular online platforms. A processor that excels in multi-tasking will provide a smooth gaming experience without you having to close certain tasks before launching a game.<\/li><\/ul><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Things_to_Look_for_in_a_Processor\"><\/span>Things to Look for in a Processor<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dd5e63c gf-img-border elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"dd5e63c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"583\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gamingfeature.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/processor-for-gaming.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-6020\" alt=\"processor for gaming\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gamingfeature.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/processor-for-gaming.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.gamingfeature.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/processor-for-gaming-300x175.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gamingfeature.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/processor-for-gaming-768x448.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-48b1253 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"48b1253\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In order to achieve good levels of performance considering the three factors we mentioned earlier, you need to look at certain things to see if your choice of AMD or Intel Processor is worth getting.<\/p><p>Here\u2019s a quick rundown on the things you have to factor in.<\/p><ul><li><strong>Socket<\/strong> \u2013 Processors are designed to fit certain chipsets, which are designed to allow communication between different components. Fortunately, you don\u2019t have to think too much about this; both AMD and Intel processors will have their chipsets listed either on the boxes as \u201csockets\u201d, on both manufacturer\u2019s websites, or listed on the motherboard\u2019s box. Motherboards will also have specific processors openly listed if you don\u2019t know which processors are compatible with their sockets.<\/li><li><strong>Clock Speed<\/strong> \u2013 Expressed in megahertz (MHz) or gigahertz (GHz), this term refers to how fast a processor\u2019s core operates. Because clock speeds can change on what you\u2019re running on your gaming rig, today\u2019s processors have two listed clock speeds: a minimum \u201cbase\u201d speed and a \u201cturbo speed\u201d. Clock speeds may be increased manually by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamingfeature.com\/best-thermal-paste\/\">overclocking a processor<\/a>.<\/li><li><strong>Cores<\/strong> &#8211; A typical processor today is actually made up of two or more processors bundled into one. Each of these processors is called a \u201ccore\u201d. Most experts recommend getting at least a quad-core (4 cores) processor, but there are now 6, 8, 16, and even 32-core processors available in the market. Clock speeds are equal among cores so a 4.0 GHZ 6-core processor will have all six cores capable of running at that speed.<\/li><li><strong>Threads<\/strong> \u2013 The number of processors a single core can handle. Modern processors have cores that are capable of supporting multiple threads; AMD calls it SMT (simultaneous multi-threading), while Intel calls it Hyperthreading. The higher the thread count, the better a processor is at handling tasks that require multiple processes.<\/li><li><strong>Integrated GPU<\/strong> \u2013 Some processors have an integrated graphics processing unit (GPU). It\u2019s possible to build a gaming rig with these processors without having to shell extra cash for a dedicated GPU. While it\u2019s possible for your gaming setup to use both the integrated and dedicated GPU, it\u2019s not possible (nor practical) to combine both GPUs\u2019 processing power when running games. It\u2019s also important to note that even the best integrated GPU will only perform as good as a low-end graphics card, but it\u2019s still an option for those looking for low-end setups.<\/li><li><strong>TDP<\/strong> \u2013 All processors will generate heat whenever you\u2019re using your PC. Temperatures can be controlled with CPU fans, but some will require better cooling than others. To make things easier for buyers, processors have a listed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomshardware.co.uk\/tdp-thermal-design-power-definition,review-34518.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Thermal Design Profile<\/a> (TDP), which is expressed in watts. Instead of listing how hot a processor can go, it just lists the minimum wattage of a CPU cooler necessary to keep the processor from overheating. For example, a processor with a TDP of 100W will need a 100W CPU cooler or better. Many processors will have a compatible CPU cooler bundled with them, but others do not and require a separate CPU cooler to be purchased.<\/li><\/ul><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_Factors_to_Consider\"><\/span>Other Factors to Consider<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1e8629a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1e8629a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Just reading the previous section, it\u2019s easy to assume that you only have to pick a processor that\u2019s fast enough, has enough cores, and support multi-threading.<\/p><div class=\"gf-info-box\">However, there are actually a few other factors that you have to consider when picking the right processor for your gaming rig. Here\u2019s a brief rundown on what those factors are.<\/div><ul><li><strong>Budget<\/strong> \u2013 If you\u2019re picking a processor based solely on performance, price shouldn\u2019t be an issue. However, a limited budget will dictate which processor will be worth your money. You can\u2019t just keep getting whatever is the fastest, and your budget will also determine what other factors to prioritize given which options are available at a certain price point.<\/li><li><strong>Intended Purpose<\/strong> \u2013 Is your gaming rig solely meant for playing games or do you plan to use it for other tasks such as video editing and graphic design? You might have to go for processors with higher core counts and faster clock speeds. If you don\u2019t see yourself using your rig aside from gaming, browsing, and basic-level office work, then a mid-range processor will suit you just fine.<\/li><li><strong>Overclocking<\/strong> \u2013 Overclocking involves making adjustments to your processor\u2019s clock speeds and voltage to increase its performance. Some processors are especially designed to be overclocked (courtesy of \u201cunlocked\u201d cores), while others do not scale well. Some processors are even better off untwraked out of the box. If you plan to overclock your processor, make sure you pick an option that supports it. Otherwise, get a processor with good \u201cout-of-the-box\u201d performance.<\/li><li><strong>Power usage<\/strong> \u2013 Some options are more energy-efficient than others, but it\u2019s not directly tried to their processing power. In fact, some of today\u2019s most powerful processors can do the same work as their older counterparts while still using less energy.

At first glance, the 2600 and the \u201cX\u201d version are pretty much the same processor, but the regular version has a slightly lower \u201cout of the box\u201d speed. Fortunately, both variants have their cores \u201cunlocked\u201d so it\u2019s possible to bring up the regular 2600\u2019s speed up to par with its X variant.

Remember these and you\u2019ll have an easier time assembling your first gaming setup.<\/p><ul><li>Remember that some motherboards support overclocking and others do not. This is important if you plan to tweak your processors for better performance.<\/li><li>All of the processors mentioned above can be overclocked, but be very careful when doing so since the wrong settings can damage both the processor and motherboard, even if they have safety features.<\/li><li>Regardless of a processor\u2019s TDW, make sure that your processor does not go over 75 degrees Celsius on a full load. Although processors are rated for higher temperatures, too much heat can be detrimental to a processor\u2019s long-term lifespan.<\/li><li>Most processors will do fine paired with fan-based CPU coolers at their stock speeds. However, a liquid-based CPU cooler may be needed to keep overclocked CPUs from running too hot.<\/li><li>Unless you\u2019re really starved for better performance, there is really no need to overclock any of our processor picks; they will do well in their respective price points even without further tweaking.<\/li><\/ul><p>This wraps up our take on which brands, or more specifically, processors are worth the money.<\/p><p>We hope this will help you pick something that will best suit your budget and your gaming needs.
