Must pay attention to money? Select CPU so that only

"I want to install the machine, what is the best CPU?" "There are money i7, Ryzen 7, no money on the Pentium, cost-effective to find Ryzen3" "I haven't said demand it ... ..." want to install the little partner must have met a lot of people After this kind of situation, the answers to other people's advice are basically money. However, this is not the case. You want to buy a CPU that fits your needs. Selecting the CPU for your needs is king.

Hit the blackboard! The purpose is to decide everything, then budget. Do not reverse it. Consider the budget and then consider the use. This puts the cart before the horse. The CPU itself largely determines where the upper and lower limits of the computer are. It is also a precondition for the installation of the computer. Be optimistic about your use requirements and make a decision.

Office & Daily Use:

Office, daily applications, and even light entertainment, the focus is to consider the core number of processors - multi-core means that the system can be a good support when parallel computing. Many small buddies figure bought a computer with an i3 processor cheaply, but once opened the PS rendering, once again opened the window video broadcast, the document also opened several, the web window is countless - then complained that the computer card into a dog (As for the thread and acceleration frequency, please refer to the “High-end low-end one-like acceleration frequency is the most important!” in the history message of this public number). This is a typical demand misalignment. Obviously the computer requires more parallel processing, but it has bought a smaller number of i3.

It should be noted that even though some portal and midrange processors are open to multithreading, it does not mean that it will not be stressful with multithreading. Otherwise, the existence of i5/i7 and Ryzen7/5 will be of no value.

Recommended Processor: Ryzen 3 1200/1300X

Recommended reason: multi-core concurrent processing task ability, outstanding cost performance

Media entertainment:

Video-based entertainment-oriented computers can not over-consider the CPU's performance and core count, but the key point to consider is power consumption. You don't want a few hundred W of power consumption for a video entertainment platform? Power consumption is a small problem, heat + cooling noise (air-cooled players please ignore) more affect the mood.

Therefore, in terms of audio and video entertainment, the Core processors after 6th generation are more in line with the requirements, especially i3 and even Pentium-class processors, TDP thermal power design within 65W, the actual operating power consumption of about 30W (nuclear display, single hard drive). The computer is noiseless and has low heat. But note that if you are a 4K enthusiast, at least 7 generations of Core Duo will get started. As for Ryzen, there is no core graphics card, and an extra video card will significantly increase power consumption. Therefore, Ryzen is not very suitable for power-conscious video entertainment platforms. Of course, Ryzen APU is very worth looking forward to if it is a desktop version.

Recommended processor: Core i3 8100, Pentium G4600

Recommended reason: the former can take into account a certain game, daily application needs, 4K is perfect and the power consumption is very low, but the supporting price is slightly expensive; the latter is purely for the audio and video platform preparation, nuclear display high specification, hard solution 4K no pressure, power consumption not tall.

game player:

The game has been subdivided into three categories, because the nature of the game, the demand for CPU is not the same, so it has to break down.

1. Online game player:

The requirements for video games in online games are not high enough - more players are included in the game, but their requirements for CPU are much higher - multi-core + high frequency is the most ideal The selection (small partners who record video games need more cores). We can watch online games, modeling of 3D images, such as scenes, textures, ah, character details are not very stressed, more is to rely on artists to make up for the picture, rather than stunning 3D special effects. In the game, more players and game world scene setting demonstrations, action routes, and so on, these are calculated by the CPU, so the importance of CPU is more prominent.

Recommended Processor: Ryzen 5 1400/1600

Recommended reason: Ryzen 5 1400/1600's multi-core performance is the outstanding characteristics of this generation of Ruilong processors, and the price is the highest in the same grade product, there is no reason not to recommend them.

2. Stand-alone games:

Single-player games pay more attention to the graphics card, just like the bottomless hole swallowed all the performance of the graphics card. However, this does not represent the neglect of the CPU, but his demand for the processor is higher than online games. This type of game, Core i5/Ryzen 5 is the start, Core i7 and Ryzen 7 is the final choice. Want the most amazing effects, pictures, and smoother game experience? Then prepare your own silver!

Recommended processors: Core i7 7700/8700, i5 8600K, Ryzen 7 1700/1800X

Recommended reason: The price of 7700 seems to be more reasonable, especially with lower supporting costs. The i7 8700 is, of course, the flagship model of the Intel platform home CPU, without saying anything. The performance of the i5 8600K is very slim, it can be comparable to the 7700's existence, but also overclocking, but the supporting costs are not low; Ryzen 1700/1800 is this year's annual CPU products, multi-core multi-threaded, super performance, very eye-catching .

3. Slag optimization online games:

In fact, do not want to list this alone, but at present this kind of game is not a small number, Xiao Bian will not say the name, I believe that players all know which is ... This kind of game on the frequency of CPU greed is inseparable - not because of operations The demand, but the optimization of the game is not in place, whether it is the problem of ability or consciousness, the result is eaten CPU anyway, the most important of these games is the CPU clock speed!

Recommended processor: Core i3 8350K

Recommended reason: Core i3 8350K's high frequency, single / dual core performance, but also overclocking. Although the supporting motherboard is small, it is still relatively cost-effective.
