If you're building a PC or upgrading your system, the CPU (Central Processing Unit), also known as the processor; is the heart of your setup. It handles all the tasks your computer performs, from launching applications to running games and software. Choosing the right processor is essential for getting the performance you need, whether you're a gamer, content creator, or just a casual user.
In this guide, we’ll break down everything you need to know about CPU price in Nepal, the different types of Intel and AMD processors available, and how to choose the best one for your needs.
Before diving into prices, it’s important to understand what makes one processor different from another:
Cores and Threads: More cores and threads generally mean better multitasking. For example, gaming and editing benefit from 6 or more cores.
Clock Speed: Measured in GHz, this affects how fast the processor executes instructions. Higher clock speed = faster performance (if other specs are similar).
TDP (Thermal Design Power): Indicates how much heat the CPU generates. A lower TDP means less heat and power consumption, ideal for compact systems.
Generation: Newer generations come with architecture improvements and better efficiency.
Integrated Graphics (iGPU): Some CPUs (like Intel's i5-12400) include built-in graphics, useful if you're not using a dedicated GPU.
Intel offers a wide range of processors suited for every need, from basic office tasks to high-end content creation. Here's a breakdown of their latest series:
