I read someone insisting Intel CPUs are snappier on the desktop. How would you even test this?
I always notice with a new build everything is snappier/smoother/more responsive. Guess it relates to everything being new along with a fresh os install. Then of course you get used to it (get adjusted) and it all seems nominal in terms of speeds/snappiness.
Does Linux Mint slow down a bit as well?
If I defrag my OS SSD partition or restore a backup, it is always snappier than an install running for a few weeks.
I'm not recommending defragging an SSD as a general thing, but the OS partition once every 3+ months isnt excessive. It doesnt rewrite the whole OS, just a small part of it.
fyi
But you can benchmark system response time. Hence the definition of "Snappiness" as used here. A person's amount of Patience in terms of "wanting" or "having" to wait for a system response is subjective.You can't benchmark an opinion, and all snappiness means is someone's opinion.
I don't think it's placebo, there are often huge differences in snappiness between configurations using the same cpu.I think it's a case of placebo effect. You think you're going to see a difference so you subconsciously do when you switch to whatever "team" you think you like better.
My Intel 6700k system becomes rather snappyless where other stuff is going on in the background. AMD system seems way more consistent in application loading, response, loading when cores are loaded down. 3900x at 100% CPU usage and one would not be hindered (depending upon what is consuming that 100% CPU usage), Intel 100% CPU usage on anything it seems becomes a slugfest. I would like to see some actual testing of this, for me I have a total opposite experience dealing with Intel and AMD -> AMD is more snappier in general in what I do. As for just single type sessions, scenario etc. I don't see much if any difference between them.
