Intel CPU VS AMD CPU Budget and entry level edition| Which one should you buy

 Intel VS AMD is a trending topic from last some year. Both the companies have good CPUs in the entry level and Budget price range. The performance of the available  CPUs are neck to neck. Here we tried to help you to choose the best and solve your confusions. 

Intel CPU vs AMD CPU


There are many chipsets to compare in entry level and budget price range. You may confuse to choose the best.

Entry level competition of CPUs (Under $120)

Intel's Entry Level CPUs

  • Intel i3 10100f
  • Intel i3 9100f
  • Intel i5 9400f

AMD's Entry Level CPUs

  • AMD Ryzen 3 3200G
  • AMD Ryzen 3 3100
  • AMD Ryzen 3 2200G

Lets do the battle!

Above mentioned all CPUs are so good. But, Ryzen 3 2200G is old one and it is out of competition. All chipsets except Intel i5 9400f are Quad core and i5 9400f is Six core. 

The competition of i3 10100f vs Ryzen 3 3100 is won by i3 10100f. i3 10100f is giving 11% more FPS as compare to Ryzen 3 3100 in various games. i3 10400f has more CPU performance. Intel is good choice here because it is costing ~$100

If your budget don't allow you to spend on a graphics card and you want to do gaming then Ryzen 3 3200G with integrated Vega 8 graphics is best for you.

i3 10400f vs i5 9400f is a crazy competition of two intel products. i3 10100f is newer one launched in 2020 and i5 9400f in 2019. In game FPS i4 9400f has 2% more FPS than i3 10100f. If you want for gaming not streaming than go with i3 10100f and you need only CPU for works like video editing than go with i5 9400f.

If you want to save money than choose the i3 9100f.

The winner of entry level CPU is Intel i3 10100f which also justify its price.

Budget CPUs Competition (Under $200)

The most exciting battle occurs here. The real neck to neck performance. The CPUs varies with requirements. We have to consider every factor to choose the best chipset.

Intel's Budget CPU

  • Intel i5 10400F

AMD's Budget CPU

  • AMD Ryzen 3 3300x
  • AMD Ryzen 5 3600
  • AMD Ryzen 5 3400G
  • AMD Ryzen 7 2700

Lets do the battle!

Oh it seems crazy. Only for gaming Ryzen 3 3300x with 4 cores is a good and cheap option. Gaming but no graphics card then Ryzen 5 3400G with Vega 11 graphics. In Ryzen 7 2700 you will get advantage of 8 core in $170. But, don't buy this if you want to do gaming. It is a good option for video editors. 

AMD Ryzen 5 3600 Vs I5 10400F is best battle to watch on. Both CPUs contains 6 cores and 12 threads. i5 10400f has more 3% FPS than Ryzen 5 3600. Ryzen 5 3600 has slightly better single core performance. Also this AMD CPU has slightly better CPU performance than the intel CPU.

Which is the best?

The i5 10400f is best. Because it is $30 cheaper than Ryzen 5 3600. The motherboard for the Intel processor is more cheaper. You have to spend more if you go with AMD Ryzen 5 3600. And you are not getting huge difference in these processors.

I tried to solve your confusions. I expect both companies launch more CPUs in upcoming time. Because the more competition will happen we will get CPUs more cheap and more powerful.
