Top Gaming Processors For 2011
I am a gamer at heart and will play all day if allowed. Recent my mother asked me to follow her to a clothing store to buy some Cotton Fabrics. This meant that I had to stop the game I was playing to go. While we were there I went to a computer store where I saw a sign that asked the question “Is your gaming processor good enough?”. I checked on what was available just in case. Here is what I found out.
If you are into gaming then you need to get the best gaming processor. The features you should be looking for are as follows.
The clocking frequency. Most computers Processors with a clocking frequency over 3.0 GHz can be considered safe for gaming.
The processor cache. A processor cache that is beyond the size of 3Mb is considered a good one for gaming.
The top two makers of gaming processors are Intel and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD). Here are some of their best gaming offerings.
Intel
There are many who believe that the core i7 processors are the best for gaming. The i7 990X and 980X processors comes with 12 MB cache, 12 threads, and six cores. They are fantastic performers and are priced to reflect that. Another top Intel gaming processor is the i7 2600K which is priced at just north of $300. For the more budget minded Intel processors for gaming then the i5 line is a good buy.
AMD
These processors are by far cheaper than those of Intel. The top of the line gaming processor from AMD is the Phenom II X6 1100T. This one comes with a 6MB L3 cache, clocking frequency of 3.33GHz, and 6 cores. The price of is in the $200 range. There are other gaming processors in the Phenom II range some of which cost under $200.
