虽然英特尔曾经拥有最好的游戏(Whilst Intel)CPU(CPUs)的桂冠，但现在AMD已经将他们的 Ryzen 产品线带入了这个行业，它已经完全改变了。
首先，Ryzen在低端市场上完全击败了他们的竞争对手，并且在一段时间内，Ryzen是低端机器的明确选择。但没过多久，英特尔(Intel)就反击了。
如今，新一代 i3和 i5 芯片组都与(generation i3)Ryzen CPU(Ryzen CPUs)一样配备。战斗还在进行中，每个CPU厂商(CPU manufacturer)都在不断地争取领先。但在 2019 年，哪个选项脱颖而出？
在本指南中，我们将重点介绍英特尔和锐龙2019 年最佳(Intel and Ryzen)预算游戏(budget gaming)选项。
最便宜的英特尔与最便宜的 Ryzen – i3 8100(Cheapest Intel vs Cheapest Ryzen – i3 8100) 与 AMD Ryzen 5(versus AMD Ryzen 5) 2400G
因此，就非常低端的定价而言，我们有两种并驾齐驱的选择。(neck and neck choices)i3 8100基本上是2019 年可用于桌面游戏(desktop gaming)的最便宜和最新的i3 芯片组(i3 chipset)。在栅栏的另一边，我们有同等的Ryzen 5 2400G。
在定价方面，i3 8100在(i3 8100)亚马逊(Amazon)上的售价为 129 美元，而Ryzen 5 2400G 的售价为 139 美元。因此，定价很接近，但如果您的预算真的很紧，那么每一分钱都很重要。
但是，在性能方面，i3 8100和AMD 锐龙 5(AMD Ryzen 5) 2400G 有什么区别？嗯，令人惊讶的是，性能非常非常接近。两者都有 4 个核心，时钟速度(clock speed)为 3.6GHz，在使用高端显卡时，两者在基准测试中的得分非常相似，两者的典型TDP均为 65W。
现在，拥有Ryzen 5(Ryzen 5) 2400G有一点优势
。如果您的预算非常紧张，
Ryzen 芯片(Ryzen chip)中的集成显卡比 Intel i3-8100 中的Intel UHD Graphics 630芯片要好得多。
您还可以将
Ryzen 芯片的(Ryzen chip)时钟速度提高到 3.9GHz，如果您计划在未来升级，如果您获得带有(clock speed)Ryzen 选项(Ryzen option)的优质 B450 主板，您可能会有更好的机会保留您的主板。
因此，就现实世界的性能(world performance)而言，处理器是并驾齐驱的。定价方面，i3-8100 更好，但如果你没有显卡，Ryzen 5 2400G 会胜出。
获胜者：集成显卡的 Ryzen，带独立显卡的 i3-8100(Winner:
Ryzen for integrated graphics, i3-8100 with standalone graphics card)
中档 CPU – Intel(Mid-Range CPUS – Intel) i5-8400与 Ryzen 5(vs Ryzen 5) 2600X
在这个特定的价格点(price point)，有一个明显的赢家。首先，i5-8400 售价 201 美元，而锐龙5(Ryzen 5) 2600X 售价 175 美元。无论您选择什么，主板的定价都是相似的。
如果您打算获得独立显卡，我只推荐此选项，否则您的CPU将成为瓶颈，因此显卡并不重要。不过，我应该提一下，锐龙5(Ryzen 5)
2600X 没有集成显卡。
在原始性能方面，基准测试使CPU 并驾齐驱(CPUs neck and neck)，一些结果显示英特尔 i5-8400(Intel i5-8400)略微领先，而其他基准测试软件显示Ryzen 5 2600X 略微领先。不过，在真实的游戏性能(gaming performance)方面，
锐龙5(Ryzen 5) 2600X 比 i5-8400 有了很大的提升。
Ryzen 5 2600X的另一大优点是，一旦你拿到了这个CPU，你将有几代人等待和升级，这与 i5-8400 不同，在我们转向第 10 代CPU(CPUs)之后，它需要一个新的主板。
就规格而言，这也是有道理的。Ryzen 5 2600X有 6 个核心，但有 12 个线程。Intel i5-8400的6 个内核中的每个内核只有一个线程。两个CPU(CPUs)都具有最大涡轮频率(max turbo frequency)，但Ryzen的频率为 4.2GHz，领先于 i5-8400 的 4.0GHz。
Ryzen 5的TDP 为95W，非常耗电(power hungry)，而 i5-8400 仅为 65W，但对于中端产品来说，这并不重要。无论您的预算如何，都不要在电源(power supply regardless)上廉价，这一点很重要，所以这不应该是一个问题。
优胜者：锐龙 5 2600X(Winner:
Ryzen 5 2600X)
300 美元以下的最佳 CPU – Intel
i5-9600k vs AMD Ryzen 7 2700X
如果您还没有发现趋势，我会为您说明。Ryzen正在赢得 2019 年的中低端战争。他们的
CPU(CPUs)在所有价位都具有更好的游戏性能，而且价格低于 300 美元也不例外。
i5-9600K 是一个很棒的CPU，当然，但
AMD Ryzen 7 2700X 更好。不过，价格差异(price difference)可能是一个问题。AMD Ryzen 7 2700X 为 285 美元，而I5-9600K
为(I5-9600K)260 美元。不过可以说，
性能提升(performance increase)远好于价格提升(price increase)，让锐龙7(Ryzen 7)
2700X的price/performance score更高。
Ryzen 7 2700X的用途远不止于此。你得到 8 核 16 线程，而 i5-9600K 仍然有 6 核和 6 线程。并非所有游戏都能有效利用所有这些核心，但在 2019 年，我们终于达到了更多核心真正重要的地步。
i5的时钟频率(clock rate)更高，最高频率为 4.6GHz ，(max clock speed) AMD Ryzen 7(AMD Ryzen 7) 2700X 的最高频率为 4.3GHz。但是，随着架构和核心数量(architecture and core count)的改进，性能仍然更好。两款CPU(CPUs)都非常耗电，AMD Ryzen 7 2700X 的TDP为 105W ，英特尔 i5-9600K的(intel i5-9600K)TDP为 95W 。
优胜者：锐龙 7 2700X(Winner:
Ryzen 7 2700X)
概括
总而言之，在300 美元
的每个价格点， (price point)Ryzen在 2019 年赢得了更好的游戏CPU。未来，情况可能会发生变化，但就目前而言，AMD拥有预算之王(budget king)的头衔。如果您对本文中提到的硬件有任何疑问，请在下方留言，我会尽快回复。
Best 2019 Budget Gaming CPUs Compared – Intel vs Ryzen for Low End Builds
Whilѕt Intel used to hold the crоwn for the
best gaming CPUs, it has completеly сhanged now that AMD has brought their
Ryzen line into the industry.
To begin with, Ryzen absolutely blew their competition out of the water at the low end, and for some time, Ryzen was the clear choice for low end machines. But it didn’t take long for Intel to fight back.
These days, both later generation i3 and i5 chipsets are just as equipped as Ryzen CPUs. The battle is ongoing, and each CPU manufacturer is constantly fighting to be ahead. But in 2019, which option stands out to be the best?
In this guide, we focus on which are the best
2019 budget gaming options between both Intel and Ryzen.
Cheapest Intel vs Cheapest Ryzen – i3 8100 versus AMD Ryzen 5 2400G
So we have two neck and neck choices in terms
of pricing at the very low end. The i3 8100 is essentially the cheapest, and
latest i3 chipset available for desktop gaming in 2019. On the other side of
the fence we have the equivalent, the Ryzen 5 2400G.
In terms of pricing, the i3 8100 sits at $129
on Amazon, whilst the Ryzen 5 2400G sits at $139. So, the pricing is close, but
if you’re really on a tight budget, every extra dollar counts.
However, in terms of performance, what’s the
difference between the i3 8100 and the AMD Ryzen 5 2400G? Well, surprisingly
the performance is very, very close. Both have 4 cores at a clock speed of
3.6GHz, both score very similarly in benchmarks when using a high end graphics
card, and the typical TDP for both is 65W.
Now, there is a slight advantage to owning the
Ryzen 5 2400G. If you’re on a very tight budget, the integrated graphics in the
Ryzen chip is far better than the Intel UHD Graphics 630 chip in the Intel
i3-8100.
You can also boost the clock speed of the
Ryzen chip to 3.9GHz, and if you plan to upgrade in the future, you may stand a
better chance at being able to keep your motherboard if you get a good B450
motherboard with the Ryzen option.
So in terms of real world performance, the
processors are neck and neck. Pricing-wise, the i3-8100 is better, but if you
won’t be getting a graphics card, the Ryzen 5 2400G wins.
Winner:
Ryzen for integrated graphics, i3-8100 with standalone graphics card
Mid-Range CPUS – Intel i5-8400 vs Ryzen 5 2600X
At this particular price point, there’s a
clear winner. Firstly, the i5-8400 sells for $201, whilst the Ryzen 5 2600X
sells for $175. Pricing for motherboards is similar no matter what you choose.
I’d only recommend this option if you plan to
get a standalone graphics card, otherwise your CPU will be bottlenecked, so the
graphics doesn’t really matter. However, I should mention that the Ryzen 5
2600X does not have integrated graphics.
In terms of raw performance, benchmarks put
both CPUs neck and neck, with some results showing the Intel i5-8400 coming
slightly ahead, whilst other benchmarking software shows the Ryzen 5 2600X ever
so slightly in the lead. However, in terms of real gaming performance, the
Ryzen 5 2600X is quite the step up from the i5-8400.
Another great thing about the Ryzen 5 2600X is
that once again, once you get this CPU, you will have a few generations to wait
and upgrade, unlike the i5-8400, which will require a new motherboard after we
move onto 10th generation CPUs.
In terms of specifications, it makes sense, too. The Ryzen 5 2600X has 6 cores, but 12 threads. The Intel i5-8400 has just one thread per each of its 6 cores. Both CPUs have a max turbo frequency, but the Ryzen comes in at 4.2GHz, ahead of the 4.0GHz of the i5-8400.
TDP for the Ryzen 5 is 95W, which is quite power hungry, whilst the i5-8400 is just 65W, but for mid range products this shouldn’t matter all that much. It’s important not to be cheap on a power supply regardless of your budget, so this shouldn’t be a concern.
Winner:
Ryzen 5 2600X
Best CPU Under $300 – Intel
i5-9600k vs AMD Ryzen 7 2700X
If you haven’t spotted the trend already, I’ll
spell it out for you. Ryzen is winning the low to mid end war in 2019. Their
CPUs have better gaming performance at all price points and at a sub-$300 it’s
no different story.
The i5-9600K is a great CPU, for sure, but the
AMD Ryzen 7 2700X is better. The price difference may be a concern though. The
AMD Ryzen 7 2700X is $285, whilst the I5-9600K is $260. Arguably, though, the
performance increase is far better than the price increase, giving the Ryzen 7
2700X a higher price/performance score.
The Ryzen 7 2700X just has far more going for it. You get 8 cores with 16 threads, whilst the i5-9600K still has 6 cores and 6 threads. Not all games will utilize all of those cores efficiently, but in 2019 we’re finally reaching the point where more cores really does matter.
The clock rate of the i5 is higher at 4.6GHz max clock speed, with the max on the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X being 4.3GHz. However, with the improved architecture and core count, the performance is better still. Both CPUs are power hungry, with the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X listed to have a 105W TDP and the intel i5-9600K has a 95W TDP.
Winner:
Ryzen 7 2700X
Summary
In summary, at every price point up to $300,
Ryzen wins as a better gaming CPU in 2019. In the future, things may change,
but as it currently stands, AMD holds their title to be the budget king. If you
