Watch on YouTube. Almost all modern computers use PCI Express 3. In most cases, you need a PCI-e x16 slot, which should be the longest slot on the motherboard. Helpful tips. Can an AMD motherboard use Intel? That's beginning to change, but the other part of the equation is latency—the time to access and process data. AMD's earlier first and second gen Ryzen parts have higher cache and memory latency than Intel's 6-core and 8-core parts, leading to slightly worse overall performance in latency sensitive workloads like games.
Incidentally, that same latency problem exists with both Threadripper and Intel's X parts: worse latency and worse gaming performance than the iK. In testing, this combined with other architectural enhancements and higher clockspeeds helps to reduce the gap in gaming performance.
It's still there, at the right settings, but it's not something most gamers would notice. Plus, there are games where having a core CPU means you never need to worry about some background task sapping resources for a moment and causing hitches in framerate. It used to be that Intel processors and platforms were considered more secure than AMD solutions. But security is a vague term that can be hard to define, and most problems trace back to software, not hardware.
But then Meltdown and Spectre happened. Using low-level architectural details, security researchers were able to figure out side-channel attacks that could compromise the security of data.
Meltdown affected AMD and Intel platforms to varying degrees, and changes in firmware as well as operating systems were required to address the problem. Spectre was a bit more elusive and mostly targeted Intel CPUs, however, and since the initial exploits were detailed, multiple new exploits have come about: Foreshadow, Spoiler, Lazy FPU Restore, and more. Fixes are in the works, with some mitigations already in place via OS and firmware updates.
Intel's 9th Gen CPUs also include some hardware changes to help address some of these exploits. But the MDS attacks get around most of the existing protections, and the new fixes involve such things as disabling Hyper-Threading.
It's impossible to say what the future may hold for AMD CPUs, but right now, Intel's processors have been compromised via these side-channel attacks far more frequently. Hopefully 10th Gen parts when they arrive have fewer issues, but I wouldn't count on it. AMD also makes budget-friendly APUs—a 4-core CPU combined with a modest integrated graphics solution that's typically twice as fast as Intel's current integrated graphics.
For each category, Intel's equivalent CPUs cost more, and the desired K-series parts don't even include a cooler.. Intel CPUs are typically the favorite choice for performance and overclocking enthusiasts. While the overclocking range for the latest 8-core parts is limited 4. Intel's top CPUs cost more than their AMD counterparts, especially once you add in a decent cooler, but they're often a bit faster in games. AMD meanwhile is able to trounce Intel when it comes to multithreaded applications.
Intel has no real 'mainstream' answer to the X, never mind the X.
