IS THERE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE AMD AND INTEL PLATFORMS ON THE MOTHERBOARD?

The so-called platform refers to the "motherboard chipset", and the chipset is basically the north-south bridge chip of the motherboard.

For how to distinguish the current motherboard, it is very easy to distinguish, the platform is for the CPU, and the interface of the AMD CPU is socket AM2 AM2+

Intel's CPU is the LGA 775

So you can see it from the interface of the motherboard.

But it is not excluded that there is NVIDIA.

The difference is very big.

AMD heats up, has a high performance difference, an overclocking difference, and also consumes power.

Nothing but cheap (and the money saved will be paid up on the electricity bill).

The difference is big, the CPU used is different, the memory control is different, the motherboard main control chip is different, and even the name is different, haha.

The motherboard has AMD and Intel The difference is very simple, what kind of platform can be on the corresponding CPU.

The fifth floor is an intel drag, right?

So damaging to amd...

Intel's CPU is mainly reflected in the processing of multiple **.

AMD's CPU is mainly reflected in gaming performance.

Big brother on the top 7th floor. I just remember around 07, everyone called Intel a fake dual-core, hehe.

AMD is more advanced than Intel's theory, after all, it is a small company, and it is a rising star, and it has to find a way to break through and attract the market. AMD released 64-bit technology before Intel, forcing Intel to steal AMD's 64-bit technology for its own use. To this day, Intel's 64-bit technology is still copied from AMD.

Another time, Intel was defeated by AMD, and it was AMD that preemptively released dual-core processors, which forced Intel to hastily have to connect two Pentium 4 processors with a front-side bus to make the world's worst dual-core processor. This is the Pentium D, which has very poor performance and high power consumption, and once became the laughing stock of the computer industry. It wasn't until the following year that Intel released the Core 1, and although the performance was greatly improved, it still couldn't match AMD's processors because it didn't support 64-bit technology.

Today, even the latest Core 2 dual-core processors are considered by the most authoritative ones to be as structurally sound as AMD. The biggest difference between AMD and Intel dual-core processors is that AMD dual-core is two cores made of one chip, and the two cores are actually still connected and not separated.

Because of the tight connection, the two cores can be in direct contact to keep the performance balanced and stable, and there will be no imbalance caused by the inconsistent speed of the two cores. Intel processors have two chips made of independent cores, connected by bridges in the middle, and share L2 cache, although much faster than the previous Pentium D, but still not as good as AMD's dual-core. It is generally believed that AMD's approach has more potential and better performance.

But because AMD's basic work is worse than Intel's, the Core 2 processor has always been better than AMD's.

This problem is more complicated and cannot be solved in a while.

Personally, I feel that the production process of CPU is one thing, and the instruction set is another, and the key is which software is supported by the software developed later.

No matter how good the technology is, it is empty talk without the support of the software.

It's not a difference, it's just a different CPU.

In the CPU world, there are two pillars, Intel and AMD, they each produce different series of different models of ** processors to provide the heart of the vast majority of electronic computers in the world, which can be said to be a great contribution, but there are differences in many places, let's not talk about the functions, even the motherboards that carry them, are also different.

Many friends who are new to installation, in the case of not having a deep understanding, will simply and rudely think that the so-called installation is to connect all parts of the computer! Just put the right thing in the right place, such as the CPU, take a motherboard and plug it in, in fact, ......It's not rough, that's exactly what it looks like! However, we have to see if these components are really compatible with each other.

Take the CPU as an example, the motherboards that support Intel and AMD are very different, and then the author will summarize some of the differences between them to help you distinguish them.

1.Chipset classification.

The most important thing is to look at the chipset, not only to classify the motherboard, but also to clearly see the level division between them, so as to assist us in the selection of the motherboard.

Intel chipset has four main levels,Throw away the early messy name, not to mention,The grades from high to low are X, Z, B, H,like we generally recommend the Z series chipset for playing games,It is the best performance in ordinary consumer-grade motherboards,For example, if you take a recent hot sale Z370 to take a closer look,You will find that it has a lot of expansion interfaces,And it supports overclocking and higher memory frequency,This means that its performance is really good。 If you don't have any luxury in overclocking or extreme performance, the B-series is also a good choice for you, and it is positioned in the mid-range. AMD is relatively much simpler, and there are three series from high to low:

X, B, A, and the mid-range B series can be overclocked, and the A series cannot be overclocked.

2.Look at the interface.

The most typical thing is to see if there are pins on the CPU interface, there are no pins on AMD, the pins of factory A are placed on its own CPU, and there are a bunch of pins on Intel, which can be seen at a glance.

However, it should be noted that AMD's own CPU can basically be universal except for a few, as long as the interface is the same, it can be plugged in. Intel is different, some can do "interoperability", some can't, plugged in, you need to change the CPU motherboard in advance on the Intel official website to check the specific adaptation model.

3.Other visual signs.

Pay attention to the reverse buckle, if there is AMD, the lid buckle is often found on Intel motherboards. No matter how bad it is, just look at the logo, which is generally prompted.

Here's how to make a simple distinction:

1. Look at the CPU interface of the motherboard to distinguish the type of motherboard.

Intel motherboard CPU interface:

AMD motherboard CPU interface.

It can be seen that the pins of the two CPUs are not the same, and the heatsink frame is also different.

2. Many brands of motherboards will have special instructions or logos near the CPU slot.

AMD motherboards will have a similar logo.

Intel motherboards will be marked as follows.

Once you have a general understanding of the motherboard chipset as well as the CPU socket interface, it's easy to tell the difference!

1. Experience. AMD has a reverse buckle, and Intel has a lid buckle; 2. Look at the CPU socket next to the CPU socket of the motherboard, such as AM 3 or Socket 940 and the like; 3. Write down the motherboard chipset: you can know the CPU interface type; Four:

The easiest way is to look at the CPU slot on the motherboard, there are many small holes in the AMD, and there is a metal buckle in the Intel. 5: Look at the peripheral frame next to the chip socket, if there is AMD, if not, it is Intel, just look at the motherboard box.

The base is surrounded by armor, and it looks like the one who feels safe is the intel.

The garbage of a bare pole is AMD.

The easiest way is to look at the buckle of the CPU interface.

AMD motherboards are all press-buttons.

And Intel is different from the use of cover buckles, you often use Intel without me to tell the difference.

Forehead. This, the motherboard has the model number on it.

AMD is just a foil to Intel.

Intel basically has a monopoly on CPUs and chipsets in the computer market, and AMD exists only to prevent Intel from being split or penalized for monopoly.

In the semiconductor manufacturing industry, Intel process has always been at the forefront; AMD used to have its own factory, but it was spun off due to business losses**.

In the CPU chip design industry, Intel is basically a leader, out of the K7, K8 and 64 processors, once inferior to AMD. At present, in terms of graphics processor design, AMD has temporarily maintained its performance leadership with the acquisition of ATI as a graphics processor and chipset, but its market share is far less than that of Intel's integrated graphics chips.

Therefore, relatively speaking, with the help of design capabilities and advanced semiconductor manufacturing processes, Intel's processors are more reliable in terms of performance and quality, but because they are in a monopoly position, although they occupy a large market and reduce the cost of chips, they are still sold at a higher price (the so-called cost performance is worse than AMD). Comparatively speaking, AMD chips are inferior to Intel's chips in terms of service life, which is a comparison of my more than ten years in this industry.

AMD dual-core two cores work together to handle the same task, which is just different from Intel's dual-core concept, Intel only runs one core under a single task, and two cores do their own work under multitasking, which is why AMD's dual-core is more efficient than Intel...

AMD's CPUs work differently, so they can't all look at the frequency in order to compare with Intel.

In terms of floating-point computing power, Intel's processors generally only have two floating-point execution units, while AMD's processors are generally designed with three parallel floating-point execution units, so among processors of the same grade, the floating-point computing power of AMD processors is better than Intel's processors.

It has strong floating-point arithmetic capabilities, which is advantageous for game applications and 3D processing applications. In addition, in terms of multi-** instructions, Intel has developed the SSE instruction set, which has now developed to SSE3, and AMD has also developed a corresponding, enhanced 3D NOW! Instruction set.

In contrast, Intel's processor is slightly better than AMD's in terms of multi-instruction, and there are many software optimized for SSE, so in multi-** software and plane processing software, compared with AMD processors of the same grade, Intel's CPU appears to have more advantages. In addition, what kind of CPU to choose,** is a more critical factor, in terms of performance, the same grade of Intel processor as a whole may have a little advantage over AMD's processor, but in terms of **, AMD's processor is absolutely superior.

For example: Intel's P4** is about 1200, and AMD's Barton 2500+, which has similar performance, is only priced at about 600.
