[PROMOTED CONTENT] PCBuilder: Choosing a CPU
There are a myriad different elements to consider, and that’s before even mentioning budgets. This as even the simplest of builds can turn into an expensive affair when you start to add in components you had not previously considered.
One of the first components you will need to consider is the CPU. While some might think of it as the heart of the PC setup, we prefer to label it the brain, as it not only forms the basis of your experience, but also ensures all components are in harmony while you are playing or working. When you start to head north of quad-core, you start to enter a territory of CPUs designed to handle gaming. You also find manufacturers beginning to split the usage of cores at this level, with some dedicated to performance and others to efficiency.Shifting back to threads, you normally get two threads per core on a CPU. Here most high-end gaming CPUs feature 8 cores and 16 threads, with some even doubling that.
A handy addition to it is a real-time indication of stock availability, so the CPUs you choose are ready to ship in the PC you build as soon as you head to the checkout.Now that we have covered cores and threads, the next aspect worth looking at is the manufacturer of the silicon you aim to use. While some builders have their allegiances to specific brands, savvy people would do well to go with what is best suited to their system.
