Some 10 years ago, the question of which is better - AMD or Intel for games, was very, very relevant. Now the situation has changed dramatically. If one of the manufacturers of processor solutions in the person of Intel has gone far ahead, the second, which is AMD, continues to stagnate. But still, there is competition in the segments of the central and intermediate level CPU. Also, the situation can dramatically change in the first half of 2017, when AMD must finally present its updated microprocessor platform.
Current computer platforms
Before we figure out which is better - AMD or Intel for games, consider the list of current processor sockets for each of the manufacturers of this equipment. This list includes the following sockets:

Well, in the case of Intel, there is plenty to choose from. Its computing platforms are only at the equator of its life cycle and will be relevant for at least another 1.5-2 years. Moreover, their performance margin is excellent, they will be able to solve any problems without any problems for a long time. The only drawback in this case is the higher cost of such products. But there’s nowhere to go, a high-performance PC cannot be cheap.
