Wanted to start a war. When it comes to a game per se star citizen, would you pick AMD, or Intel?

For your Brand, also pick the processor and your reason why you chose it for star citizen.

Im comparing all the different processors and seeing how opinions and experience is more useful than benchmarks when its not on the game.

Star Citizen is still in Alpha and can easily kick the crap out of even the best systems. Its unoptimized, and not ready for primetime at all. That said if you're playing it you need an Intel processor at this point because, in raw terms, its the fastest. AMD has nothing to compete right now. When Ryzen comes out next month maybe a different story, but until then there is no competition.

I would go for Intel. Pentium for budget builds, i5 for mid-range builds, and i7 for high range builds. Pentium for a standard workstation, i3 for more intensive workstations and i3K or i5 for high-end workstaions.

Source: I play Star Citizen, poorly due to how crappy it runs, on my AMD processor.
