Please explain to me AMD processors naming conventions

[LadYKilleR8520]

---

Intel naming conventions are very easy
Processors are divided into tiers and function

COMMERCIAL <- affordable processors for the masses

I7 = 4 cores, 8 threads, high speed, good for productivity software, not really intended for gaming

i5 = 4 cores, 4 threads, price per performance is good, for games because of performance per core

i3 = 2 cores, 4 threads, okay speed, does not bottleneck the standard GPU, more or less midline, dont expect it to perform too fast

Pentium = 2 cores, 2 threads, bottlenecks mid-high end GPU, good for everyday tasks with no CPU intensive loads

Celeron = best for less power consumption use, torrent PCs, slow even for normal tasks, just so your PC turns on..

PROCESSOR SERIES

K series = Ex. i7-3770K = Unlocked, Overclocking CPU, can overclock higher than the stock or other series, usually consumes more power than the other Series

S series = Ex. i7-3770S = Optimized, Best Performance per watt, usually runs slower than the stock and K series for lesser power consumption, performs faster than the T series, cannot overclock as high as the stock..

T series = Ex. i7-3770T = Power Optimized, Lowest power consumption, sacrifices performance...

EXTREMES <- not really affordable, won't benefit too much for gaming performance, concentrated for industrial use, not power efficient

i7 = 4/6 cores, 8/12 threads, all in this category are i7s, best possible performance, has most if not all add-ons, no built in GPU

SERVER <- not affordable, used mainly for servers or 24hour applications

XEONS = not affordable, less power consumption, less heat, more cores/threads, less speed, higher cache, not for gaming


PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME AMD PROCESSOR SPECIALIZATIONS AND NAMING CONVENTION

extremes , you mean LGA2011 v1 Socket R a.k.a. X79 | Sandy-E | Ivy- E
LGA 2011 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

SERVER <- not affordable, used mainly for servers or 24hour applications

XEONS = not affordable, less power consumption, less heat, more cores/threads, less speed, higher cache, not for gaming

i guess it would be best to name the AMD family by socket and Architecture

[LadYKilleR8520]

EXTREMES more commonly called as ENTHUSIAST/WORKSTATION as in LGA 1366 with the X58 chipset and yes LGA 2011 with the X79 chipset, there are no confirmed socket after LGA 2011...I think Skylake and skymount will still be under the COMMERCIAL chipsets/Sockets

Socket AM
Socket AM2 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

940pins but not compatible with AMD server Socket940 family | replacement for Socket 939 & Socket 754 | DDR2

processor list : Athlon 64 | Athlon 64 X2 | Athlon 64 FX | Opteron | Sempron |Phenom

Socket AM2

Socket AM2+

Socket AM3

Socket AM3+

Socket FM1 Llano

Socket FM2 Trinity

its called LGA2011 - 3 for HASWELL - E with the rumored native 8core | 16threads for desktop | DDR4 | intel X89 chipset

[LadYKilleR8520]

Technically you cant call ENTHUSIASTS/WORKSTATION as LGA2011, LGA2011 merely counts the number of pins on the actual die...
LGA2011 was preceeded by LGA1366 which was also under the ENTHUSIASTS/WORKSTATION category, same as LGA1155 was preceeded by LGA1156 under the mainstream/commercial category..

even though LGA1155 is replaced by LGA1150 in the commercial category, the ENTHUSIASTS/WORKSTATION will still use LGA2011 untill Sandy Bridge-E and Ivy Bridge-E(rumored), there are no reports of the next socket following LGA2011

AMD roadmap might Help:



PERFORMANCE == Enthusiasis (FX Chips, Phenom series)
MAINSTREAM == Regular users (APU - Trinity, Llano, Richland ug older Athlon II Series)
ESSENTIAL == Basta lang naa pc (pang facebook ug pangbrowse2x sa net. gamay nga ms-word. daog na) - (Bobcat and Jaguar cores sample E350, E2100 etc etc..)

ahhh..wako ka sabot sa topic...is this about what's AMDs purpose and their chip naming?

[LadYKilleR8520]

Its how do I Choose an AMD CPU depending on my needs.. wala man gud klaro ilang naming.. mao nang if m.palit ko d q kibaw unxa aq paliton.. dli pareha sa intel bah nga i7>i5>i3 nga style..
