The CPU Wars: The First Input

The CPU Wars: The First Input is an Original released on September 16, 2021 on YouTube and is the first installment of the CPU Wars saga. The Original goes over different CPUs (Intel and AMD) and comparing them. Originally made as a school project, David Johnson later decided to expand it into an entire saga with at least 5 installments, each chronicling the CPU Wars and the conflicts over processing units. It will have connection to The Interweb And Computing.

A sequel, titled "The CPU Wars: The Secondary Storage" will release in October 2021, but the plot remains unknown.

## **Plot**

The original begins with an announcer voice introducing David to CPUs, threatening to kill him if he didn't buy one. David later pulls an all-nighter and learns that there are two types of CPUs: Intel and AMD. He later goes over their quality, pricing and watt consumption. To learn more about watts and electricity, he sticks a fork into an outlet, electrocuting him off-screen and making his face all bloody.

Afterwards, he declares that Intel is the best CPU because Intel CPUs come with a free Fortnite outfit.

## **Transcript**

(David is at his desk working on his computer. A voice comes up.)

David (Voice Over): Are you sick and tired of not having a computer that is able to interact with all your installed applications and operating systems?

David: Huh? Who said that?

David (Voice Over): Then come on down and buy a CPU - they’re only-

(Cuts to price.)

David: A piece of hardware that allows me to actually do functioning computer activities and activates input instructions!?! Can I buy one?

David (Voice Over): You better, or I’ll kill you - in your sleep!

(David looks at the camera, shocked.)

David: Well, I don’t want to die, what CPUs can I buy?

David (Voice Over): Foolish David, there are only two CPU brands worth buying!

David: Can you tell me about them?

David (Voice Over): Why don’t you do your own research?

(Cuts to the “One All-Nighter Of Researching CPUs Later)

David: Oh hey, I didn’t see you there. I just spent an entire all-nighter learning about CPUs, and I must say, I’m definitely qualified to study at MIT or something. After a good 3 hours of procrastination, I learned that there are 2 brands: Intel and AMD. But which is better? This is THE CPU WARS.

(Awkward silence. David cues up the next scene.)

David: According to this chart I found on the interwebs, the AMD is cheaper, offers good gaming performance, allows for easier content creation, consumes less power and provides better processing. Intel is good for gaming, but everything it does, AMD does better.

(Cut back to the desk.)

David: But I sit at a desk and whine about the economy all day! I should be one to talk about the prices.

David: Well, the prices are something, for sure. The cheapest CPU you can get is roughly $100, and sometimes, the Intel version of a CPU is cheaper than the AMD one. So children, if you’re ever thinking about building your own PC, keep the CPU prices in mind.

David: Let’s try a fun science experiment! I’m going to stab a fork into the outlet in my house, let’s see what happens!

(1 Fork-Stab Later. David is covered in fake blood.)

David: Well that was a terrible idea.

David: So here’s a handy chart I found online, the Ryzen/Red CPUs are from AMD, the Core/Blue ones are from Intel. Get that right. From what you can see on the chart, the AMD CPUs, especially Ryzen 5, don’t eat up as many watts as Intel CPUs. The big takeaway? You better have enough money for electricity bills if you’re an Intel fanboy.

David: So you would think that AMD is better, as it allows for a better gaming experience, provides better processing, is cheaper, and consumes less watts. But I don’t think you understand. Intel has an exclusive Fortnite outfit.

## **Sequels**

David has scheduled 4 monthly follow-up sequels to chronicle the CPU Wars.
