Intel vs AMD for a new build in 2025
Hello everyone,
I’m planning a new PC build and am currently undecided about which CPU to choose.
I understand that AMD CPUs have faced some slower performance in MATLAB due to Intel MKL but I understand it was solved with the AMD AOCL? Bench instruction results also seem to show a performance difference between Intel and AMD CPUs (but couldn’t check too many).
Intel CPUs seem to have some issues which probably have been solved for 14th gen with the new BIOS updates, and 15th gen is not quite mature. Their power dissipation is quite high.
For MATLAB, I plan to use the Parallel Computing and Optimization Toolboxes. Apart from MATLAB, ANSYS or other FEA software will be the most demanding applications, and I also plan to game from time to time.
I will pair this with an RTX3070 for the moment.
I was looking at the following CPUs:
Intel Ultra 7 265k – $230 / $600
Intel I9 14900k – $390 / $650
AMD Ryzen 7 9800x3D – $474 / $750
AMD Ryzen 7 9950X – $570 /$910
(Prices listed are current and include discounts, with $ CPU / $ CPU+Mobo+RAM)
Thank you!Hello everyone,
