Linus is going to upgrade to the next generation, but does he stick with AMD or has Intel clawed their way back on top? We built overkill computers for each team and drag raced them in his favorite games to determine the winner.

Man, when the deciding factor is sale pricing and stock you know that the competition is fierce
-
Linus: I need a new CPU. AMD and Intel looking at each other: This building ain’t big enough for the two of us.
-
The fact that the 4090 alone draws more watts than my entire computer is just nuts
-
Both these CPUs have vastly different architectures, signal paths, core counts, caches, clock speeds, and instruction sets. They were designed and manufactured independantly by entirely different teams with next to no direct communication between them. Yet when they were pitted against each other, the difference is negligible at the abstraction levels of our minds. It just blows my mind just thinking about it .
-
These builds basically just epitomise "Kid goes onto online pc builder and chooses all of the most expensive options" and I love it.
-
If they're this close on performance, you should have put an energy meter on the end of the PC plugs so we could see how much energy they used over the course to see if there was a difference there.
-
Ryzen cpu looks cooler so it wins
-
There was no untitled goose game I’m disappointed
-
Okay can we just hold up for a second to talk about how he got to build his own RAM? That's actually really sick!
-
Linus lying on the ground incredulously reminding us that time is a flat circle is a genuine moment
-
linus seems genuinely happy to be doing this with this person specifically.
-
It's funny because you used a clip from your pretty old $2500 rgb pc build, and it was nice to see that. That was probably the first video of yours that I watched and has kept me around for a while. Love the content, always love it
-
- Says they need a new CPU - Builds an entire new PC And yeah, this further shows how MASSIVE the 4090 is.
-
The 4090 seems soo thick in a real build... As if someone accidentally extruded it 1 [inch] instead of 1 [cm] in CAD...
-
I ended up deciding to go AMD simply for one reason: Longer socket support. They just started doing AM5, when Intel has switched sockets every couple years now to force mobo upgrades. 7950X for me.
-
This was really entertaining, I like seeing Computer Drag Races, you should make that a THING. 😁
-
Would love to see the power consumption compared in these equally performing pc's
-
3:45 Yes, someone said it!! Back in college I had a gaming rig with an ATI Rage 128 for the 2D card, Voodo2 SLI and a sound card, filling up all my PCI slots. I had one ISA slot which I put a modem into. It was beautiful.
-
When it comes to CPU usage in gaming, I think you should consider testing Planet Coaster, which even if it's from 2014, because of the Cobra Engine's limitation it's actually a Core-hog when having huge parks and especially when fully filled with all the guests the park can permit at max. Just sayin' to take it into consideration! This why even those channels that present created parks in Planet Coaster actually limit the number of guests or close the parks all together to get that framerate running right.
-
Linus, filling one's PCI slots is genuinely up there. Only once in my life have I had seven slots used by something useful, and it felt incredible.
