Is Intel's New CPU Better Than AMD's New CPU? Let's Break It Down

When it comes to choosing the best CPU for your needs, the rivalry between Intel and AMD is always a topic of debate. Both brands have released some incredible processors recently, but which one is truly better? Is Intel's new CPU really that much better than AMD's new CPU? Well, the answer isn't as clear-cut as you might think.

Intel's latest processors, like the Intel Core i7 and Intel Core i9 from their 13th generation, have brought significant performance improvements. They boast faster clock speeds, enhanced multi-core capabilities, and better single-threaded performance, making them a great choice for gaming and multitasking. But is that enough to outdo AMD’s latest offerings, like the AMD Ryzen 7000 series?

AMD’s processors are no slouches either. With impressive multi-threaded performance, better power efficiency, and a more affordable price tag, AMD has been dominating in certain segments, especially for users looking for solid performance on a budget.

So, which one is better? It really depends on what you're looking for. If you need maximum single-threaded performance for tasks like gaming or software that demands high clock speeds, Intel might be the better option. But, if you want a CPU that excels in multi-core tasks, provides great value, and runs cooler, AMD could be your winner.

At the end of the day, both brands offer high-performance CPUs that deliver excellent results. It’s important to understand your needs and choose the one that aligns with your computing requirements. Whether you choose Intel or AMD, rest assured that you're getting top-tier performance.

I don't think we give enough credit to how freaked out the PresAux crew must have been when they saw Murderbot without its armor for the first time. Like, they have no reason to even think Murderbot is WEARING armor. They must have assumed it was a bot that just happened to be in the shape of a person wearing armor. And why wouldn't they? Everyone talks about constructs like they're just objects and none of them has ever met a SecUnit before so it makes sense that it's basically a hauler bot in the shape of power armor. Not that they don't appreciate the sentience of hauler bots but theres a world of difference between "this is a suit of armor with hydraulics inside, being piloted by a machine intelligence" and "there is an actual human body inside that suit." No wonder they were so caught up on the fact it had a face.

Lucky Seven is a very cool sword, both in lore, theming, and design

~~Massive Xenoblade 1 and 3 spoilers under the cut~~

Fiora's soul and will being stored within the Origin Metal used to craft Lucky Seven is so cool to me for so many reasons:

With Aionios being a creation of Origin under the influence of Moebius, it's entire existence is thus directly under the influence of whoever is in control of Origin itself. The Origin supercomputer is based upon Ontos's core and architecture (which we know from Future Redeemed), making Ontos the prime administrator of Origin. Thus Ontos, and anyone tied to that core, carries special privileges within Aionios and Origin. (ex. Shulk carried the Monado in XB1, and the Monado IS Ontos. Rex's life was tied to the Pneuma core, one part of the Trinity Processor which was also under the jurisdiction of Ontos, A just straight up IS Ontos, etc.)

So Fiora, who ALSO was a Monado wielder (via her being Meyneth's vessel and Meyneth too having a Monado of her own as one of the two gods of the Xenoblade 1 world), too has an innate connection to Ontos and the Trinity Processor. Which is why Lucky Seven is so strong within Aionios. She (as the sword) is able to completely override Moebius's control; allowing her (the sword) to shatter the Flame Clocks, obliterate Moebius, and cut through literally anything within Aionios. Lucky Seven, which is Fiora, is essentially part of Ontos and thus can rewrite the "code" of Aionios (yes, Aionios isn't a digital world but that's the easiest way to explain how Origin and Aionios works.) That is such a cool way to explain the extreme strength of the blade.

Furthermore, it means that Fiora is still carrying on Meyneth's wish to give the people of the world a choice of how to live their lives. In Xenoblade 1, Meyneth's whole thing was acting as opposition to Zanza. She wished for an ever changing world in which its inhabitants could live and choose for themselves, whereas Zanza wished for a stagnant world bound by fate. He wanted complete and utter control over those who lived "beneath him", as he saw it. Fiora came to embody these desires and values of Meyneth after Meyneth's death at Mechonis Core, and idk it's just really cool to me that her influence on both the Xenoblade 1 party (especially Fiora) and the Xenoblade universe as a whole is still as strong as ever within Aionios.

Moebius is the embodiment of the fear of change in an unstable world. And after seizing control of Origin, Z created a world in which nothing changes and it's inhabitants serve as fuel to keep Moebius alive. Nothing within Aionios progresses. It persists for eternity, those living within stuck in an endless cycle of bloodshed and hatred.

So to have the one thing capable of combatting Moebius being a weapon that is the physical manifestation of the willpower and motivation of Fiora is just really cool to me, especially given how important Fiora and Meyneth are to Xenoblade 1 and how their entire thing in that game was giving the people of the world the ability to choose for themselves and defy fate. Fiora, as Lucky Seven, is giving the people of Aionios a real second chance at life unshackled by Moebius and their control. Just as Meyneth gave Fiora a second chance at life after Fiora was killed at the beginning of Xenoblade 1.

The way the lore, function, and theming of Lucky Seven is all tied together is good shit.

It also being why the sword is called "Lucky Seven" is very funny. (Fiora is Xenoblade 1's seventh party member, and she IS the sword.)

It could also be why the sword looks so much like a Monado. The soul within is that of someone with a connection to the Monado/Ontos.

This new laptop rules I feel so powerful

Finally started Bugtober! Many little doodles.

Descriptions and explanations under the cut.

Left: Pride (day 7)

All I could think about for this prompt was the FMA character, so Kabbu has unfortunately been possessed. Poor guy. Don't worry, there's a chance he can be saved! (I didn't want to kill someone this early in the season)

Top middle: Beemerang (day 2)

Chompy is attempting a Hurricane Toss. If she pulls it off, it will be very cool. She doesn't have the main Beemerang; this is one of the extra prototypes. Though she is not depicted, rest assured that Professor Honeycomb is taking notes.

Top right: Coffee (day 6)

Amaya, an OC of mine, has stayed up far too late and is now suffering for it. Similar to how I did yesterday. Whoops.

Middle: Ready Up (day 1)

Simple little drawing of Maki about to defeat someone. Or maybe he'll lose. Who knows?

Bottom Middle: Rainfall + Artifact (days 3 + 5)

I thought it would be nice to draw water dripping onto the Ancient Mask; it is in a very damp cave, after all. Someday, stalagmites will grow on that thing.

Bottom Right: Strength (day 4)

This is another OC, named Ember. She's Amber's sister, and has gone into a similar line of work: mail delivery. She regrets this daily, but not enough to do a poor job. The postal service is among the strongest systems in the Ant Kingdom.

Microsoft can suck my dick, they can choke on it in fact, but my very valid resentment aside;

Please don't fall for it. Even if your PC tells you you are not eligible for Windows 11—you can download, install and run it just fine. And you should once WIN 10 isn't continued anymore.

The upgrade is not any harder than if Microsoft wasn't such a bitch, and you most definitely do not need a new end device simply because they would like you to buy one.

I am testing it on an 8-year-old "throwaway notebook" rn (trust is good, control is better), that is not eligible for the update based on their own claims and I'm having absolutely no issues whatsoever.

My friends, today was a day I honestly didn't think would ever arrive. Today, Georgette and I joined hands in friendship (o hai, Eobard, thanks for witnessing this touching moment 😜)

and we frickin' played some Halo!

For almost 4 hours! It was glorious, friends! We were ALL blinded by its majesty, even Eobard!

*bink* 😇😂😎👍

She actually had a bit of a rough patch today with the Nvidia card demon coming out to freeze up like an absolute jerk say hi for a moment...

...but I'd just seen there was an Intel update available and was literally researching whether or not to take it when, you know, everything hung up so that made up my mind pretty easily, lol. 🤷‍♀️

After that update, we updated Windows and then I thought, you know what? Let's just go for Steam and see what happens. And Steam installed and so I went for the MCC, which automatically installs Reach, so I plugged in my controller, the Mighty Purple Hand of Spartan Justice™️

(seen here with my cozy Master Chief in his Olaf robe, some hot tea and a box of tissues because I had cold at the time and this was my comfort set up, lol) and we got to saving Reach!

It totally worked, too. Reach was saved, yippee!

Jorge, telling me how waaaaay awesome it was that I helped him and Noble Team TOTES 117% SAVE REACH WITH NO CASUALTIES YES!!!

And look, we're all running to get ice cream! Yay, ice cream! 🍨

Okay, so I've had a few really rough months, give me this one, a'ight? 😇😉

Anyway, I wish I could say

but no, not just yet. But maybe, just maybe, we're on the right track at last?

Just wanted to share with you, friends! Love to you all! 🤗💖

The Mediatek's latest Dimensity 7350 seems very promising one with the aspect of the AI fusion features and the accelerated gaming process. Quite an impressive one in terms of the mid range ones!!
