So if you're streaming on Twitch using broadcasting software while playing a game, you'll need a CPU with more cores and threads.įor a given CPU, there's often a choice of chipsets that support it. More cores makes more applications run smoothly on your system at the same time. All CPUs have cores, but recent CPUs split each core into two virtual cores called threads, adding up to 30% extra performance. Importantly for consumers are core and thread count. High-end processors like Intel's Cascade Lake or AMD's EPYC server CPUs come with high core counts, and features such as security, virtualization, or large amounts of memory cache. Entry-level CPUs have lower core count, with lower processing and multitasking capability. AMD uses both PGA, with pins on the CPU, and LGA for their high end Threadripper CPUs. Intel uses LGA, and the socket contains pins, making handling the CPU easier but needing care when fitting the CPU in the socket. Intel and AMD products aren't interchangeable, as they use different sockets to connect with the motherboard. The main brands for CPUs are Intel and AMD, and choosing one comes down to which one fits your needs and budget.
Its job is to execute instructions for software running on your computer.
