What type of chip sockets does AMD use for their processors?

AMD processors use Socket AM4.

What do cores/threads mean for AMD processors?

Cores and threads are both measures of the performance of a processor. Cores are the actual calculation engines within a processor, while threads refer to the number of tasks that can be run at once. Some applications can use multiple threads like gaming and rendering. Depending on your workload, AMD has the perfect processor for your system, with options from 6 to 64 cores.

What do the letters at the end of the AMD processor mean?

The suffix at the end of an AMD processor denotes the performance and type of processor:

• X = High-performance
• No suffix = Standard desktop processor
• G = Desktop processor with on-chip graphics
• GE = Energy efficient desktop processor with on-chip graphics

What do cores/threads mean for Intel processors?

Cores are the actual processors that are doing the calculations, while threads are the tasks or instructions that can be run simultaneously on those cores. Many AAA PC games run through a single Core which Intel optimizes for performance.

What do the letters at the end of the Intel processor mean?

What do the letters at the end of the processor mean? The letters after the model number of an Intel CPU refer to its specific features. For example, "K" processors are overclockable, "T" processors are low-power, “F” processors require a discreet graphic card and "S" processors are high-performance. Multiple suffixes can be combined such as “KF” for unlocked and discrete graphics required. In addition, all processor suffix definitions are available here.

• F = Requires discrete graphics
• K = Unlocked and overclockable
• S = Special Edition, high performance
• X / XE = Unlocked, ultra-high end
