Understanding CPU Specs - CPU Specs Guide for Beginners

A CPU may seem straight forward. But how many of the specs do you actually know? Maybe you're aware of them, but do you know what they actually determine? This video serves as an all around CPU guide to help you understand the CPU specs.

*TIMESTAMPS:*

1:27 1. Intel vs. AMD
2:08 2. # of Cores/Threads
3:02 3. Socket Type
3:26 4. Frequency
4:24 5. Cache
4:54 6. Integrated Graphics
5:47 7. TDP (power draw) & Manufacturing Technology/Lithography
6:42 8. Memory Type: Which generation of RAM does it use?

CPU’s EXPLAINED
CPU:
-AMD is more budget friendly than Intel
-More cores more processing power
-Modern CPU’s have hyper threading
-Hyperthread ex: 4 cores = 8 threads/ virtual cores
-4 physical cores will display 8 virtual cores but that doesn’t mean it runs like an 8 core processor more like an enhanced 4 core CPU
-AMD have different socket type and cannot be interchanged with one another meaning AMD and Intel have there own distinctive motherboards
-The new AMD Ryzen CPU’s use a AM4 socket while the new Intel CPU’s use a LGA1151 socket
-Be sure to match the correct CPU and socket or else it won’t work or even fit to the motherboard
-The frequency of CPU’s are measured in GHz
-More GHz the faster the CPU operates
-CPU’s with more cores run at a lower frequency than CPU’s with less cores that also overclock easier
-Base Clock: a CPU’s normal frequency rate
-Boost Clock: a CPU’s frequency rate when it’s under load
-Overclock: a CPU’s frequency rate when it’s past it’s boost clock frequency
-Make sure you motherboard can overclock as well
-Intel CPU’s that end with “K” are overclock able
-Most AMD Ryzen CPU’s are overclock able and Ryzen XFR CPU’s are able to push further with overclocking
-Cache is First type of memory CPU uses To have less latency while processing information
-Cache is generalized three different levels L1, L2, and L3 with L1 being the fastest while L3 is able to store more cache than L1
-Generally speaking more cache the better
-The more cores a CPU has the more power it draws
-Manufacturing tech is Measured in NM(nanometers) and measures the gap between transistors in the CPU
- The smaller the gap between transistors the more transistors can fit inside the CPU making the CPU more powerful
-Modern CPUs use 14 nm gap between transistors
-Search up what type of ram you’re CPU uses
-Modern CPUs use DDR4
-Lastly YouTube benchmarks for your CPU such as multitasking and playing games in 1080p as well as individual core performance

Thanks for explaining! That helps with my assignment from my university I was stuck with the CPU part

[jdtechgear]

I love getting people into building computers, I hope this can help some of you out :) Let me know if you guys like the outtakes at the end of the video!

[therealmattseal]

That "Cache" image break with the "Cash me outside" girl is great! Even in 2019 HAHA

[raghugc]

Out of 30-50 videos I got to know clearly about CPU thank you bro

[lordofseas]

1:40 I thought that was a smudge on my screen, Clean your N intel.

[joshuaarce]

Considering building my first PC, and I'm adding this to the list of videos i need to refer back to. Thanks for taking the time. Very clear, easy-to-understand explanation for a layman like me.

[poofyloofy.]

Everyone kept telling me to build a PC for myself, but i was like (I DONT KNOW HOW), thanks to you i know how PC Specs work! :D

[sesscirco]

Dude, thank you. I don’t understand less now!

Super informative and great content.

[Draconuslol]

Why aren't you studying for finals!

[kittykitty]

I hope you get big asap~ I really enjoy your content lately

[gregmaggert]

Learned more in this single video than the 30 ive watched before. Good reference when trying to understand how it all works together.

[riteu]

This video is awesome! Thanks for making my research easier hehe
Loved the outtake by the way :)

[BlueMacGyver]

Excellent basic explanation, good stuff, subscribed!

[paulzhang]

FYI, Statement at about 1:30 is no longer valid in 2019😂

[chaperz]

Really think this is a cool channel good luck getting a million subs 👍

[GamerSlayer]

Nice and simple, thanks for helping me with my build

[zaneandrejvogel]

Been looking for a video to explain this... haha. Also the camera is doing that because you have auto-white balance on. You can usually either set a custom WB in the menus, or if you have a higher end DSLR, there will be a dedicated button. Play around with the WB values to find one that isn't too warm or cold (orange or blue). Hope this helps!

Just got into pcs and this was a perfect beginners explanation. Thanks a lot.
