If you are thinking of overclocking your processor
Posted: Tue Sep 02, 2025 6:58 am
If you are looking for the most processor for the money, AMD is usually preferable. But again, this depends a lot on which model you choose. AMD has a lot of processors that beat Intel's with a lower price tag. This mainly applies to their cheaper processors, when you get up to the slightly more expensive price range, it is pretty even.
Overclocking
Intel is probably the processor for you. For the most part, Intel has the most room for further overclocking compared to AMD. The disadvantage here, however, is that you need to buy Intel's K-series processor to get the opportunity for good overclocking. Keep in mind that you also have to buy Intel's Z-series motherboard, which is usually more expensive than AMD's motherboard. Of course, it is possible to overclock Intel's other processors and motherboards, but it does not dataset give the same effect as the K-series and Z-series do.
So which one is best?
The answer is that there is no right answer. If you are looking for a certain type of performance in a certain price range, you simply have to compare the two different component models that may fit and then make a decision.
The .CN registry reverses its policy, and requires every registrant of .CN domains to submit a copy of a Chinese business license and a Chinese citizen photo identification. Private citizens can no longer own .CN domains, only businesses. Fearing censorship and reprisals, or simply unable to come up with the required documentation, many do not comply. The .CN registry deletes their domains, taking their websites permanently offline. From Q4 of 2009 to Q1 of 2010, over 35% (about 8 MILLION) of all .CN domains are deleted.
How would you feel if you had to submit a detailed business plan and wait many weeks to get government approval in order to register a domain name in your country, only to get denied permission? How would you feel if you were approved, built your business around that domain name, and then had it deleted because the government changed their minds?
Internet censorship is coming to a global head. Hundreds of millions of people do not currently have the freedom to say what they want to say and how they want to say it, but they're trying anyway. Repressive governments are struggling to find ways to restrict their citizens' access to information, as they always have, but they cannot solve the Internet. People are looking for secure ways to get their published content online for the world to see, for their countrymen to access in their native languages, without fear of getting shut down due to cultural tension or ideological conflicts. For some, the fear of having a website taken down is minor compared to the fear of a knock on the door.
