[Hardware] An Intel Core processor and an AMD Ryzen for gaming at a discount

[FNX Magokiler]

If you are thinking of upgrading your PC because it lacks power, these processor deals may interest you. On the one hand, we have a third generation AMD Ryzen processor with a large number of cores. Then we have an 11th Gen Intel Core processor, in this case without integrated graphics. These processors are up to 15% off.

First of all, we have the AMD Ryzen 9 3900X processor, a versatile processor with a large number of cores, ideal for gaming, streaming or content editing. Then we have the Intel Core i7-11700F processor, which is characterized by lacking integrated graphics. Two very interesting options.

AMD Ryzen 9 3900X, a really powerful processor
Currently, most users no longer simply play, it is becoming more and more common to use the PC for more than one thing. There are many who venture into streaming, or who do photo or video editing, among others. This processor, thanks to its large number of cores, is a great option for any need we may have.

This processor is characterized by having a total of 12 cores and 24 threads based on the Zen2 architecture and the 7nm process. This processor works at a base frequency of 3.8 GHz and in Boost mode it reaches 4.6 GHz. This processor lacks integrated graphics, so we will need to purchase a dedicated graphics.

The good thing about this processor is that it supports the PCIe 4.0 interface and supports DDR4 @ 3200 MHz RAM. Additionally, this processor comes with the Wraith Prism heatsink, which has RGB lighting. This heatsink is enough, although it may be interesting to acquire a more powerful cooler so that it works at a lower temperature.

 

 

We are talking about a very good processor, with which we can do anything we want. It does not have integrated graphics, like most Ryzen processors, but due to its characteristics it is designed to be used with a powerful dedicated graphics.

Intel Core i7-11700F, powerful processor but no graphics
If we are looking for a more powerful solution for gaming and we are going to install a dedicated graphics card, this Intel processor is a great solution. This processor is based on the LGA1200 socket and belongs to the latest family of processors based on 14nm lithography.

This processor has a total of 8 cores and 16 threads working at a base frequency of 2.5 GHz. It can reach 4.4 GHz in Boost mode on all cores and thanks to Turbo Boost 3.0, it can reach 4.9 GHz on one core. Note that this Intel technology depends a lot on the temperature of the processor, therefore, it requires a good heatsink.

This processor has 20 PCIe 4.0 lines, being one of the first processors to support this technology. It really doesn't have much relevance, since beyond the M.2 SSDs, it doesn't have much relevance.

Indicate that this processor belongs to the Core-F range. This means that this processor lacks integrated graphics, so we will necessarily have to install a dedicated graphics.

A very good processor, certainly, but not having integrated graphics can be a problem. If we are unlucky enough to have problems with the graphics, we will need another one to be able to use the equipment. Having integrated graphics is a good thing as it gives us flexibility in a pinch.
