Of course, you can always say:"Buy the most expensive"but our budget is not always unlimited. And most of the time it's limited.
And this article is written for such cases.
At the current moment in games, the processor with higher performance per core is still in the lead, and not the one with more cores / threads.
For example i5 With four cores bypasses ryzen 3 with the same number of cores. And even compete with ryzen 5.
There are many more nuances, but you did not come here for them.
TOP 5 LOW-EXPENSE PROCESSORS 2018
- Core i5 8400 – $182 listed price. (6 cores. In turbo boost it reaches 3.8Hz on all cores)
- Ryzen 5 1600 – $219 listed price. (6 cores and 12 streams)
- Core i5 7400 – $182 listed price. (4 cores. turbo boost up to 3.5Hz. Yes, the price is the same as that of 8400, but this is not the price in our stores, it is declared by the manufacturer)
- Ryzen 5 1400 – $169 listed price. (4 cores and 8 threads)
- Intel Pentium G4560– $64 listed price. (2 cores and 4 threads)
Sorting goes from Productive to less productive.
For the price, of course, the most attractive is Stump, but it will not suit everyone.
And so in short I will say which processor is for what.
i5 8400 it's for all games, it's great unless you want to stream as well. It is perfect for any demanding game: Battlefield 1, SW battlefront 2, PUBG (for maximum speed, of course, paired with a cool video).
It is also suitable for cs:go, dota2, lol + stream. And for such non-demanding games, too, you can stream and play comfortably, but for heavy games + streaming will no longer be enough and you will have to take i7 +.
Ryzen 5 1600also suitable for all games, it is certainly inferior to 10-15 fps i5 8400, but with it, in theory, you can also stream even all the same 12 streams. This processor is more suitable for those who also work on a PC, for example Renders a video, a 3D project or something else. Thanks to more threads than AI fifth, Ryzen wins in rendering speed, but is inferior in games, although it has more threads.
Ryzen 5 1400well, this percentage is cheaper than 1600 ryzen,It's essentially the same Ryzen 1600, but with a reduced performance of 4/8. It’s unlikely that you will be able to stream already, but you can play demanding toys, but the FPS will be lower than that of 1600 and i5. For rendering, it is suitable as an inexpensive processor, similar to i7 (in terms of cores and threads), but of course it is inferior to it in performance, since i7 has higher performance per core.
i5 7400now, in principle, it pulls any games, but the fps at 8400 will be higher because there are more cores and the frequency is higher, its plus is that it can now be found cheaper, suitable for cs: go, dota2, lol - for a very long time. It also pulls Battle, Battlefront and much more, but not with such a high FPS as 8400. There was nothing special to talk about him ...
Stump G4560!Well, this is the king for his money. For cs:go, dota2, lol - very suitable.
I have an i3 6100. The difference is 200 MHz and the price is $50. I will say this at the minimum in cs:go 1280x1080 resolution I have 140-250 fps. So enough, of course i5 will be better, but for the money…. In principle, it can be suitable for heavy games, but in those games where the load falls mainly on the video, and in those where the processor decides a lot, it still won’t be enough.
