Which is better a quad core or six core and which brand AMD or Intel for gaming and rendering videos?

Answer 1

Well, in terms of performance, quad core is not as good as six core. But, because you are doing gaming and rendering videos, you may not need the six core. Quad core is good enough for now, but if you want to future proof your computer, go for the six core. AMD is usually cheaper than Intel, and almost as good at performance. Intel usually performs a little better, but is more expensive. I'd say that you should probably go for whatever you want, they are equally good. Whatever suits your needs or is most available is fine.
