Today I will talk to you about what the CPU, in this computer DIY, there will always be such a person who is identified as a person who understands CPU, and this part of the person will always be inadvertently exaggerated, in fact, in the final analysis, they are nothing more than ordinary people who have been exposed to hardware for a few years. There's no such thing as "someone who really understands CPUs" these days. As long as you do more hands-on, watch more, and learn more about computer hardware, you will quickly become the person who knows the CPU best. Next, I will tell you about the method of choosing a CPU for people who are generally familiar with computer hardware.
In fact, the choice of CPU is mainly based on different people and different uses, and their needs and choices of CPU are different. I'm going to give you some advice based on different groups.
Part 1 Game Enthusiast Users
The first part is enthusiast gamers, for gamers, the general requirements for processors are still relatively high, especially for enthusiast game users, they not only play some large-scale 3D online games, but also like to play international super-large stand-alone games, these games have very high requirements for processors, for this part of the people can choose Intel's i7 and i9 series or AMD's Ryzen 7 and Ryzen 9 series. The CPU performance of these series is relatively strong. However, as far as the game itself is concerned, Intel processors are more suitable for gaming users. AMD, on the other hand, is biased towards multitasking applications.
Part II: Professional Designers and the Video Post-Processing Industry
Aside from this gamer, which is for professional design purposes, the focus of their CPU choices is also different. Especially for professional graphics processing people, the performance of the processor is very important, such as modeling, 3D rendering, etc., post-video editing, for this part of the user, it is recommended to choose a CPU with more cores and a larger number of clocks. For example, AMD's Ryzen R9 series, or Intel's i9 processors with K back then, such as i9 14900K, Ryzen R9 7950X. However, for users who choose these processors, it is recommended to choose a high-power and stable power supply and a stable set of heat dissipation solutions. Because although these processors have good performance, they also consume more power and generate more heat.
Part 3 Servers, Scientific Research, Big Data Processing.
In this era of big data, almost a certain scale of enterprises are developing their own large models, in addition to the scientific research industry, the third aspect of service providers they have higher requirements for the speed of data processing, the accuracy of data, the stability and security line of server operation. For this segment, they are more likely to choose CPUs with multiple cores, high memory bandwidth, and RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access). In this regard, AMD's EPYC series and Intel's Xeon Scalable series are more suitable for them.
Fourth, enterprise office users
For enterprise-level users, they are not like game users, let alone professional design users, what they pursue is a stable performance, low power consumption, low failure rate, and stable after-sales service. For this part of the group, most of them choose Intel Celeron or Pentium series processors. Because of the low power consumption of this part of the processor, and most importantly, the price is not high, there are still many companies that are even using five or six years old Pentium computers. It takes half a day to type a form, and I believe that there must be some office staff who can't stand the company's office computers. Many people may not understand why the corporate office will use such a poor computer, in fact, the reason is very simple, because this part of the computer is used to make tables, write summaries, and make PPT is completely enough. The company does not need to spend too much money on computers, and it can also save a lot of electricity bills due to low power consumption.
Fifth, ordinary home users
In fact, most of us belong to the category of ordinary home users, we only use the computer to occasionally play some online games, and then watch videos, go on the Internet, for the time being, even the Internet and watch videos are mobile phones, it is estimated that the computer will not be opened once for a long time. For our group, there is no need to stare at the i7 i9 or R7 R9, just the Intel i3 i5 or AMD R3 R5 series processors are completely sufficient. If you usually like to play games, then choose the i5 processor back then, which is completely sufficient.
Final Summary:
In fact, for CPU, there is nothing to choose or not, anyone is from not understanding to understanding slowly groping, as long as you are willing to take the time to understand, then you will be the next "person who understands CPU". In fact, in the final analysis, the so-called people who understand CPU here mainly choose different models of processors reasonably according to their own needs, and they can maximize the performance of the CPU, and there will be neither insufficient performance nor excessive performance. If you say that if you have a budget that is not bad for money, then there is no need to dwell on these problems, choose the expensive processor at one time, as for whether you understand it or not, it doesn't really matter, do you say this is the truth?
