Getting a New Gaming Computer? AMD’s New Processors


I have recently decided to get a new gaming computer. All my past computers since I was younger have been custom built ones. After years of working on computers I personally recommend that route if you are looking for a new computer. Yes, there are cheap computers out there, but you get what you pay for. I have seen that most cheap computers just barely run Windows out of the box so that goes without saying once it’s updated/upgraded will it have a even harder time running windows in the future. I don’t know about you but spending a few hundred more for something that will last at least twice as longer, and run must faster from the start is worth it.
When you have or build yourself a custom computer you can upgrade the hardware much easier. Computers from HP and dell are harder to upgrade. Most of the time they use proprietary mother boards and cases so you can’t upgrade them. They are designed like that to make you buy a new one a year later instead of just upgrading it. That is how they make their money. They sometimes might be cheaper but in the long run they aren’t. I say sometimes because a lot of the time if your custom build one you can find deals on components so custom can be cheaper and with better parts. Win Win in my opinion.
I do need to say am a desktop computer person. I love desktops. I have had several different “Laptops” over the years I have always hated them. Yes, they are portable and light, but they have a small monitor, keyboard, and touchpad. If you want to go that route just get a iPad for portability and a desktop for a computer. The keyboards on Laptops are horrible to type on. I haven’t never been able to type well on a small keyboard like that. I must rather have a nice mechanical keyboard to type with. They are larger, larger keys, reliable, sturdy, and the sound is satisfying. (I can’t believe I spelled that word right lol) Typing for hours on a large keyboard is much better on your hands than a small laptop keyboard. You might ask, can’t you just use a USB keyboard on a laptop? Well the answer is yes you can. Why would you do that though because that would add to the size of the portable laptop and make it not portable? Another reason is laptops will never be as fast is a desktop. They are designed for low power running so they will be slower. Yes tech has grown that makes laptops faster but they can’t do video encoding like a large desktop.
That leads to my next point, Temp. Laptops will run warm with than a desktop even with the same chip. They are small that means much less airflow. For a off the shelf computer like HP and dell they have less airflow than a custom built one. I personally recommend a large full tower case.
Now you might ask what does that have to do with AMD and their new processors? Well, in case you haven’t heard AMD is coming out with a new set of processors. They are rumored to have 16 core 32 thread and speeds of up to 5.1 ghz. That is a huge CPU right there. I have been cheering for AMD for awhile now. Competition is always good when it comes to tech and this will get Intel a run for their money.
For the type of stuff, I will use my computer for I feel the new AMD CPU’s will be the best for that. You might ask what about Intel’s I9? You remember when I talked about power and heat? Well, the I9 when running at full speed uses a lot of power and puts out a lot of heat. You will need a liquid cooler even on a Full Tower Case with lots of fans just to keep cool and a huge power supply to boot. Now, I have always loved larger power supplies because they seem to last longer because they are working less because of a lower rated load needed. The Intel CPU would eat that extra power up making the power supply run harder putting more a strain on it.
Now I haven’t completely made up my mind on what CPU to get but I can’t wait until those new AMD CPU’s come out.
