In 2025, Geek became skeptical of “Edge Processing.” This is analogous to many cores, but none faster or “taller” than traditional Central(ized) Processing Units.

We found Intel Core i5 12600 and Core i7 12700 CPUs to have superior security features, blocking Memory Buffer Overflows as a class of exploit. However, we acknowledge that AMD Ryzen series CPU’s have “taller” cores, and more of them. Ryzen’s 4-core CPU is tallest, with a 6-core model processing more, but with fewer “mips” on each core, and likewise an 8-core model, which we recommend with dual gpu’s. The 6-core model would do some benchmark processes faster than the 8-core, but we estimate that if you really challenge dual-gpu’s, you will need the extra cores.

To set processing records, proliferate 4-core Ryzen AMDs, but for security features, we recommend installing an Intel box, and organizing older equipment behind it on a VPN.

AMD is a resilient competitor, and it remains to be seen how they will answer Intel.
