As many of you have already noticed, I have spelt AMD EPYC incorrectly in the main table (eg at 1:28 I have it listed as "EYPC" rather than "EPYC"). And I have it both right and wrong on the same graphic at 8:38. But the thumbnail is right! :) My apologies for this -- I so often accidentally transpose two letters and do not notice. So I am mad at myself today. :(

Two Years of professional IT Training have not been enough to shed a reasonable light on this topic. You have done so in under 13 minutes.Thumbs up!

Finally, an explanation of the secret code chip makers use to name their specific chip models. Thank you!

Wow you're nearly at ¾ million subs, and every one deserved. Onwards to 1m and beyond!

This was the much-overlooked topic for anyone to understand when purchasing different versions. Thank you for sharing in-depth knowledge on two different brands.

Hats off to you for the integrated graphics warning. I made that mistake when I built my gen 1 i5 machine.

I always appreciate how consistent and approachable these videos are.

"Cache will require a whole video of its own." Yup, please. Cycles latency vs hit/miss/level are scary and tend to make things a lot slower than those gHz clock speeds.

Finally explained.. and you’re the best explainer, thanks

Happy Easter everyone. Chris, thank you for this video. Very timey and gives us a n overview on all types of CPUs. Great stuff. Enjoy your day!

Love the foundational computer lessons like this regularly thrown into the mix of this channel. And explained clearly per usual.

The most important video; on a nice, sunny Sunday. I now want some tea while watching this :)

Me so happy. Another video. Thank you for making these videos every Sunday. It makes my Sunday complete.

Another excellent video! You always present the information in such an easy to understand format!

Your explanation of the product codes was especially interesting! Thank you!

Every IT teacher could open your channel, set the videos on auto play and students wouldn't miss out on anything. Maybe learn even more! Amazing job!

This guy really likes computers he should teach us about them

I’ve seen your older videos for key information and explanations many times, but since they were all from around the 2010 era, I didn’t expect this channel to still be active. Amazing! I suppose I should sub :)

Thank you for your sound explanations in understandable language, giving basic overviews over technology components. I appreciate that greatly and will point people to your videos who want to have understandable explanations.

This has been such a treat to watch thank you kindly!

Very well explained. I am an ex computer engineer. Started servicing computers in 1971. The CPU speed then of the Big Iron was 2MHz. No Cache, 64KB memory, 10MB Hard Disk. They also had Printers and Magnetic Tape Units. How things have changed. However what annoys me to day is the change in terminology used, for operations that virtually the same but now have different names. For example Subroutines are now called Functions. Threads is an interesting name, we used to call it Multi-programming. Threads is however a better name. I try not to stay stuck in the past.

Eyeopening as always , thanks Chris , stay safe

Awesome.... No one explains things better than Chris and this channel! Nicely done!

Another excellent video which I wish I'd had a while ago when trying to work out the differences between the PCs on offer. Thanks yet again.

Helping the algorithm to pick up your video

Thanks for this, processors these days seem to come out like machine gun bullets, and getting to grips with all the variations and permutations, can be quite a perplexing task. Thanks for the lucid elaboration.

It is the first time in 20 years I get such a nice CPU overview. Thanks a lot. Great job.

This is probably the most compact explanation I found by a quick search. Good job!

The naming and classification of these chips does seem to be getting more complicated than it was fifteen or twenty years ago. Thanks for the up to date information Chris. 👍

Thanks for the information. Looking forward to your next video!

Very informative! This channel has become my Sunday tradition. Happy Easter everyone!

Thanks a lot, Chris. This is the video I asked for the other day. It's even more complex than I imagined, but as always you made it simple and easy to understand. There are even some CPU lines I didn't know to exist. Thanks again. You are the best.

Thanks for doing such great Videos!

I was waiting for this.

Thank you ExplainingComputers! Awesome and informative video as always!

These videos are always very helpful and clearly explained, keep up the good work!

That's a highly detailed video about CPUs, sir. Please make a video about GPUs.

I remember when processor speed was measured in MHz.

Once again - you've produced a hugely informative, and much needed video. So once again - thank you!

This video was very helpful in understanding the naming of CPU's. I wasn't able to understand the explanation in the previous videos i watched but this was very helpful. Clear, concise and straight to the point. Thank you.

Please make a video telling us about caches. That would make a nice followup for this one.

Happy Easter, Christopher.

Taking my comptia A+ and net+ and enrolled in IT and computer engineering classes at community college your channel has helped me so much

I just watched your video on the AArgon M2 Case. You always do such a nice job. Thanks.

My man's face is like 3D rendered on a pc , he couldn't look more techie , even if he tried. Thanks for the video.

Wow 37 seconds ago! Who needs notifications when you spend all your time on this platform. Nothing better than an explaining computers video on a sunny Sunday afternoon.

Congratulations on 750K subscribers Chris, well deserved, great content as always.

Even though I know most of this information, I love watching these. I always find something new or something I didn't know before hand. Excellent video as always, you make it very easy to follow any type of person who wants to learn or who thinks they know it all. Congratulations on the 750K subs, here's to 1Million....Cheers!

The Intel Core Blimey is only available in the UK.

Very informative. My eyes glaze over when LTT or Jayztwocents rattle off cpu names and talk as if I’m supposed to understand the differences. Thankyou for explaining !

Man I love your videos on computers , Very detailed and elaborated. Keep up the good work.

So, that is why I was so confused! Thank you so much for this video. I do hope that a video on cache management is fairly high up in your future plans.

Just as I am about to get myself an ARM Raspberry Pi, you make this. Bravo, Mr. Barnatt 💪😅

Excellent! Perhaps you might add the overarching detail that these all use the same instruction set, pioneered by Intel in the 1980s. That is in contrast to RISC and ARM instruction sets.

Finally found video that explains almost every detail about CPU. Extremely useful 👍 Thank you!

Thank you for the eddumacation(education) on the cpu's, as always I enjoy watchin your channel, keep up the great work.

Could you also make video about how CPUs work on the inside, and about CPU socket types and their advantages and disadvantages?

HI, useful info. Be interested in your thoughts on the future of x86 what with the rise of apple M1, Arm etc I read somewhere that the fastest supercomputer in the world is now an ARM powered system.

Loved it mate, great job.

Excellent explaining there Chris, I actually learned something I didn't know, thanks.

Love you and your voice

It thrills me to see AMD making some really superb chips again. Back in the '90s I owned several AMD-equipped computers -- they were cheaper than Intel's offerings and performed every bit as well. I bought my first AMD chip when the 80486 CPU was the most popular one -- AMD sold a 486 chip that was faster and cheaper than anything you could get from Intel at the time. And I kept on buying AMD chips throughout the '90s, as they were always less expensive than their Intel equivalents, and performed at least equally, and in many cases better than their Intel equivalents. Then they sort of lost their edge, and weren't very competitive for awhile. And now they're back in the game and forcing Intel to innovate again! Competition always makes products better for the end consumer, and it's high time we had some good competition in the CPU arena. Intel has been dominating for far too long now. Very happy to see AMD back in the game!

as usual you nailed this video's interesting information , always accurate , you NEVER let us down

Thank you for this Easter present EC, by far my favorite computer channel

Funny that we still call them "micro" processors. They should be called nano processors 😂

2:04 Clock speed isn't really a good metric when comparing CPUs, my 12yo Core 2 Quad Q9650 runs at 3GHz, but it's an order of magnitude slower than even an entry level 4-core Ryzen would be at the same clock speed. Comparing clock speed is like comparing how fast your car tires can rotate without taking tire diameter (Instructions per clock) into account. Clock speed is only meaningful within the same architecture.

Easily the best breakdown of CPU/GPU families that I've found on KZfaq... and all under 13 min!

ive gotten behind on my knowledge of this kind of stuff. ty so much!

I wonder how Intel's hyper threading compares to actual double core count

Thanks for that. I was thinking about building a new PC for myself but think it might be safer to just buy an off the shelf model. At least now I'll know what the specs mean. By the way there's a typo at 9:00 - EYPC instead of EPYC. It caught my eye as I was wondering why it was pronounced "epic". Oh, also on slide at 9:14

Brilliant overview and explanation, thanks as always!

Always a pleasure to watch and learn from, thank you and kind regards.

7:50 He's rhyming so well.

Just started the video and got an advert for ARM... :D

Another week another awesome video! 🤘

Thank you for another excellent and thorough explanation of what is available. It is easy to lose track with so many CPU models around.

You'd missed out the A-series on the AMD side

This is quite a "dry" subject but the invaluable advice is quite close to the end where certain AMD processors require a dedicated graphics card as no video signal is otherwise generated - this is particularly pertinent to those who may choose to build their own desktop.

And another VERY informative video. You make it crystal clear. Thank you.

Many thanks for this comprehensive and enlightening video on the often confusing world of microprocessors!

What happened to your series on upgrading an old computer?

Looks Like I am not late this time!!!

End piece on pricing very well thought out & carefully phrased.

We need more of this! Pls make more videos, great stuff!

EPYC Chris, not EYPC.

1:22 8:38 misspelled EPYC as EYPC

Great video, looking forward to a similar video about GPUs.

Very, very good presentation. Thank you for your time and effort in making this video. Most informative.

1:24 EYPC, epic ?

Very informative. I only understand low-level language.

Thanks for the information regarding the suffix of the processor models

Excellent as always!

What about the oven FX processors xD

10:30 oof, yeah. At least AMD's names aren't quite as hard to say

one of the most useful videos! Thanks again, you're awesome :D

Dude, this stuff has never made till today. Thanks

I picked a bad year to build a gaming pc. ALL decent graphics cards are "Out of Stock" Thanks bitcoin!!

You should send this video to Intel as they clearly have no idea about their own naming conventions.

Thank you for yet again for another great video!

This is a wonderful explanation, thank you. I always look forward to your videos.
