Raccoon🇺🇸🏳️🌈**#TechTips: How to Read #ComputerPart Numbers for your #DIY #PC build**
Randomly up in the middle of the night thinking about this, so here goes...
#Computer parts these days are numbered in pretty much the same scheme, whether it's #AMD, #Intel, or #Nvidia, and whether its a #CPU, #GPU, or #Motherboard. Note that I'm only including Intel and Nvidia here because they are the same numbering: Always Buy AMD.
The first number is always the generation ("series"), the second number is the offering within that generation, and there might be 1 or 2 letters at the end if they did something special with it.
Example...
The Ryzen 7600X I just got is a 7th-generation Ryzen, while the intel 7700HQ I replaced was also 7th generation, but Ryzen is newer than core, this the CPUs were made about 5 years apart. Stick with AMD chips over 7000, because those use the new AM5 socket, and thus will be upgradable to CPUs AMD has yet to release. (intel changes the socket every generation, and can't be upgraded)
