Processor Prices in Nepal: Power-Packed and Pocket-Friendly

CPU prices in Nepal vary widely based on brand, model, and generation. For instance, a recent high-end 12th gen Intel Core i9 processor will cost significantly more than a budget-friendly 10-core Intel Core i3 from an older generation. Processor prices in Nepal at our store range from around Rs 25,000 to Rs 1,18,500.

Which Processor to choose? Intel or AMD

Choose AMD if:

• You are up for multitasking or running multiple applications simultaneously.
• You want better onboard graphics without a dedicated GPU, especially for gaming or high-performance activities.
• You prefer more cache, which can enhance gaming and intensive tasks.

Choose Intel if:

• You prioritize performance per core, which is crucial for tasks that rely on single-threaded performance, like specific gaming and professional applications.
• You are okay with slightly lower power efficiency for the benefits of single-core solid performance.

Ultimately, the choice depends on whether you value core count and onboard graphics (AMD) or superior single-core performance (Intel).

How do you choose a good processor?

Here are the essential factors to consider when choosing a processor:

Cores and Threads:

CPUs come with a specific number of cores and threads. Cores handle tasks independently, while threads allow multiple processes to run simultaneously.

For instance, a quad-core CPU with multi-threading, like the Intel Core i7-10700K, which has 8 threads (4 cores with 8 threads), is suitable for gaming and most office tasks. On the other hand, for high-end tasks like 3D rendering or video editing, a CPU with more cores and threads, such as the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X with 16 cores and 32 threads, would be a better choice.

Clock Speed:

Clock speed (measured in GHz) determines how quickly a CPU can execute instructions. For gaming PCs, a CPU with a high clock speed, such as the Intel Core i9-11900K that can boost up to 5.3 GHz, would be a good option. Conversely, a lower-clocked CPU like the Intel Core i5-11400 with a base clock of 2.6 GHz might be more energy-efficient for general office work.

Cache Size:

CPUs have different levels of cache memory, such as L1, L2, and L3 cache. A CPU with a larger cache, like the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X with 32MB of L3 cache, can enhance performance in tasks that rely heavily on data access, such as content creation. On the other hand, an entry-level CPU like the Intel Core i3-10100 may have a smaller L3 cache, making it more suitable for basic computing needs.

Power Efficiency:

Consider the CPU's power consumption, especially for laptops or energy-efficient desktops. Lower TDP (Thermal Design Power) processors consume less power and generate less heat. For laptops, a CPU like the Intel Core i7-1165G7, with a low TDP of 15W, can help extend battery life. For energy-efficient desktops, the AMD Ryzen 5 5600GE with a 35W TDP can offer decent performance.

Architecture:

The Processor's architecture, its underlying design and structure can significantly impact performance and compatibility with software. Look for processors with the latest microarchitectural improvements, such as Intel's Raptor Lake and AMD's Zen architecture, that offer better performance and energy efficiency.

Which Is the latest Intel processor? 

Intel is continually pushing the boundaries of innovation. You might be wondering about its latest masterpiece processor, the 14th-generation processors, which are the newest additions to the Intel Core i5, i7, and i9 lineups.

Which is the latest AMD processor?

AMD has been impressively outperforming Intel with its processors Lately. Their latest offering is the Ryzen 9 7950X3D, featuring 16 cores and 32 threads. It's a powerhouse suitable for demanding gaming and content creation tasks while maintaining low latency.
