As many of you have already noticed, I have spelt AMD EPYC incorrectly in the main table (eg at 1:28 I have it listed as "EYPC" rather than "EPYC"). And I have it both right and wrong on the same graphic at 8:38. But the thumbnail is right! :) My apologies for this -- I so often accidentally transpose two letters and do not notice. So I am mad at myself today. :(

Eyeopening as always , thanks Chris , stay safe

Very well explained. I am an ex computer engineer. Started servicing computers in 1971. The CPU speed then of the Big Iron was 2MHz. No Cache, 64KB memory, 10MB Hard Disk. They also had Printers and Magnetic Tape Units. How things have changed. However what annoys me to day is the change in terminology used, for operations that virtually the same but now have different names. For example Subroutines are now called Functions. Threads is an interesting name, we used to call it Multi-programming. Threads is however a better name. I try not to stay stuck in the past.

It is the first time in 20 years I get such a nice CPU overview. Thanks a lot. Great job.

Thank you for your sound explanations in understandable language, giving basic overviews over technology components. I appreciate that greatly and will point people to your videos who want to have understandable explanations.

I remember when Intel were producing 386 and 486 chips, either SX or DX for integer or floating point, and only half a dozen clock speeds. It was all fairly obvious. When the Pentium came out, it was nice and simple for while. It all got confusing when AMD, Cyrix and others started adding extra features and developed hybrid architectures with complicated naming conventions. 🙁

Thanks for this, processors these days seem to come out like machine gun bullets, and getting to grips with all the variations and permutations, can be quite a perplexing task. Thanks for the lucid elaboration.

Awesome.... No one explains things better than Chris and this channel! Nicely done!

This video was very helpful in understanding the naming of CPU's. I wasn't able to understand the explanation in the previous videos i watched but this was very helpful. Clear, concise and straight to the point. Thank you.

That's a highly detailed video about CPUs, sir. Please make a video about GPUs.

Dude, this stuff has never made till today. Thanks

Thank you for another excellent and thorough explanation of what is available. It is easy to lose track with so many CPU models around.

It thrills me to see AMD making some really superb chips again. Back in the '90s I owned several AMD-equipped computers -- they were cheaper than Intel's offerings and performed every bit as well. I bought my first AMD chip when the 80486 CPU was the most popular one -- AMD sold a 486 chip that was faster and cheaper than anything you could get from Intel at the time. And I kept on buying AMD chips throughout the '90s, as they were always less expensive than their Intel equivalents, and performed at least equally, and in many cases better than their Intel equivalents. Then they sort of lost their edge, and weren't very competitive for awhile. And now they're back in the game and forcing Intel to innovate again! Competition always makes products better for the end consumer, and it's high time we had some good competition in the CPU arena. Intel has been dominating for far too long now. Very happy to see AMD back in the game!

You'd missed out the A-series on the AMD side

This is quite a "dry" subject but the invaluable advice is quite close to the end where certain AMD processors require a dedicated graphics card as no video signal is otherwise generated - this is particularly pertinent to those who may choose to build their own desktop.

Great video, looking forward to a similar video about GPUs.

End piece on pricing very well thought out & carefully phrased.

2:04 Clock speed isn't really a good metric when comparing CPUs, my 12yo Core 2 Quad Q9650 runs at 3GHz, but it's an order of magnitude slower than even an entry level 4-core Ryzen would be at the same clock speed. Comparing clock speed is like comparing how fast your car tires can rotate without taking tire diameter (Instructions per clock) into account. Clock speed is only meaningful within the same architecture.

I wonder how Intel's hyper threading compares to actual double core count

1. Core m3 has been re-branded into Core i3 since 10th gen. 2. Celerons and Pentiums do have suffixes like T and U. 3. Atoms are end of life except for embedded models. 4. There is also Threadripper Pro. 5. There is also low end AMD APU's that have no branding at all (not Athlon, not Ryzen). Eg. AMD 3020e.
