Really? I rebuilt my PC, used an AMD back quad core. My friend suggested that intel processors are better.?

Simply put Intel is better for gamers.

AMD is sorta the generic bottom shelf brand. Super efficient but lags behind Intel when single thread performance is key. Gamers don't need a super-efficient i7. They usually don't have any justification for spending an extra $100. Hyperthreading and AMD's alternative are great for the photo or video editor.

It doesn't mean a WHOLE lot but it is important. Clock speeds do impact users tasks. It's one of the variables to consider. You have a black edition APU so it can be overclocked, with an adequate heat sink fan combo. AMD's Wraith cooler is actually pretty good. Depending on your tasks and OC'ing abilities(one click OCing and simple ratio changes can only get you so far before OCing becomes more complicated but can reap more "rewards") OC'ing can have an appreciable impact in the real world.

For some people value is a HUGE part of their build. They've checked out the reviews and video(both individual and business) and decide on the i3 6100 along with a Z170 motherboard. The other guy did the same and went with a 8350. Time has past. It is now 2018. Both users are ready to upgrade to a new processor. The AMD guy checks out his board's CPU support list and the Intel guy does the same. AMD guy is sad. The 8350 is at the top of his list. There are 2 or 3 others but none that would offer an appreciable difference. A new motherboard, most likely a new OS and a CPU is outside of AMD guy's budget. The Intel guy looked to the future. Made sure value was king. He moves up to the i5 6600K(purchased a Z170 board initially because he knew OCing was in his future) and sees a pretty good improvement with his tasks that were starting to become slightly CPU bound. AMD guy spends $400 and Intel guy spends $159.

If your going to heavy Video Editing, your going to spend more time waiting once you press render than a computer user with an Intel Processor. Depending what AMD Processor you have that could be 30 to40 Percent longer render times. That is a well known disability AMD has, it is not a good quality Video Editing Computer. Other wise it will do other things just as good as Intel Chip

Don't get too het up about it. At the highest performance levels Intel have offerings that AMD simply can't match. Away from that AMD typically have equivalent performance for less money or better performance for the same. Unless you are talking about a top end $2000 gaming rig there is a strong argument in favour of AMD simply because it leaves more of the budget for extras in other areas. It is what is in YOUR computer that is relevant, not what else that manufacturer also sells.

He may be correct, IF you spent more money and bought a better Intel CPU. For the cost of your AMD chip, a low end Intel chip probably wouldn't perform any better. The top of the line Intel chips are better, but they cost big $$.

So Intel make cheap low end chips too.

So the only thing you should worry about is if your machine performs well, for the $$ you spent on it. For the cost of your CPU, chances are you would have only got an Intel i3, which is no better than your AMD chip. Looking at things this way, you are fine.

Intel is better than AMD. But it depends on your needs. AMD processors can do day-to-day tasks very easily without any problem.

If you are hardcore PC gamer, then the Intel Processors are better. If you are using the PC for normal usage, then AMD is not bad choice.

Compare processors with benchmarks, like on CPU World or Passmark. Also make sure to compare the single core benchmarks, especially of comparing 4 core CPUs with 8 core CPUs. Generally it's better to get fewer, faster cores than more slower cores in gaming.

A program will only use as many cores as it's designed to use. Most games only really use 2 cores, some make full use of 4 cores, and only a handful can use 8 core CPUs.

Really just get the fastest CPU in your budget.

For example:

FX 4350 get's a benchmark score of 5297 and costs $80 at Newegg.

An i5 4440 get's a score of 6405 but costs $180.

So the i5 is only 17% faster, but costs more than double. So if you only need the 4350's speed, you'd save a lot of money going with it. Especially if you overclock the 4350.

And here is the truth if your planing on serious work with requires a constant load like printing and photo editing and is better it has pins that go into the motherboard. Which handled heat and load better.

Now if you plan on playing videos or short fast games get the Intel.

And remember never buy an Intel GPU to go with an AMD! Or vice versa

Intel is better then AMD*

*In most cases but it will very depending on what your doing, a good rule of thumb is if you didn't ask the question before hand it probably won't matter now.

Intel are better so far as using amd no problems with them seems to be good for gaming , video, other multi purpose pc function
