Is it worth it to upgrade from Intel i7 to an Intel i9??

I just felt the need to upgrade my PC for once.

It really depends on what you are doing on your PC, it also depends on what other components make up your rig, so the upgrade doesn't bottleneck.

i7 processors for gaming however are still a very reliable option in 2020, so it probably is not worth upgrading.

I'd say go for an i9 if you're going into video editing, as previews in places like Vegas, Premiere, and After Effects are heavily CPU reliant. But if you're looking to build an editing rig then AMD is the way to go anyway.

Upgrade your CPU, because CPU connects everything to the PC and the more powerful the CPU gets . Sry for my bad ENG :peace:

In all honesty, I would never upgrade to AMD.
I brought their graphics card for a change,and they are a handful to work with.
Their control centre is also a chaos and many other problems.

Perhaps their CPU are better than their GPU.
Why do you think AMD is superior to Intel?

A graphics card is different to a CPU.

AMD CPU's have always been superior then Intel's do 10 minutes of research and there's your answer.

I mean I never used AMD so I can't say it's good or not. But I know more about Intels CPU's then I do AMD's CPU's.
