i5 3570K vs FX-8350

Also, razetheworld did benchmarks with xsplit gaming and without.

 

 

theres my proof Spear. intel is overly hyped. once steamroller comes out haswell will be struggling.

 

As for the more cores more performance. amd fx series 8 cores. is actually a quad core using a modular architecture

 

theres 4 modules, each module has 2 cores per module thus making the computer think it has 8 cores and 8 threads, but really its a 4 core with 8 threads. but the way the cpu is made is that the large pools of l2 and l3 cache feed the cores faster when using heavy multithreaded applications.

 

intel has a much simpler architecture, that has strong single threaded optimizations thats why it succeeds in gaming by only a few frames, and loses against amd while using heavy multithreaded applications. but the i7 series still holds its end, but like i said wait for Steamroller.

 

 

I would really like to see him benchmark with an NVIDIA GPU to see a difference compared to testing them with an AMD GPU

that bench is strictly cpu benching, either way amd's fx-8350 is up to par with 3570k and 3770k gaming wise,

 

@dreamliner,

 

AMD = faster multithreaded performance, slightly slower single threaded.

 

intel = faster single threaded performance, slower multi threaded performance.

 

the difference between the 2 cpus for single threaded performance isnt worth intels pricetag, id rather go with amd fx 8350 for 200 bucks and have 5-7% slower which isnt even noticeable....

 

ive had 2 setups with these cpus,

 

 

i had the fx 8350 with a 7870 hawk edition, 16gb ddr3 1600mhz ram 128gb samsung ssd 1tb hdd

then i switched to try intel i bought the 3770k with a geforce gtx 580 16gb ddr3 1600mhz ram and a 160gb intel 320 series ssd,

 

battlefield 3 everything maxed 1080p i was getting 40-55 FPS

with amd i got 42-50 FPS.. not much of a difference and amd was 300 bucks cheaper..

 

its all performance anyways, plus amd vs intel shouldnt be discussed since haswell is released...

AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor

 

processin just fine

Not all 8 cores are currently utilized by games at this point. Games can maybe use 2 or 4 cores max. And since Amd processors are less per core than intel, you see the performance drop. The 8 core would be better for multitasking though.

if you have a quad core cpu like me you should google your cpu and also search turbo UCC next to your cpu, alot of quad cores can be turned into 6 cores, it should come up

They did this as well with similar results, the amd processors don't favour an AMD gpu.

The fx8350 smashed the 3570k when streaming while playing.

Essentially if you're doing several high demand things at once you're likely to want an amd 8 core rather than an intel quad core but if you're doing one high performance task go for the quad core intel. The case for some of the people on this forum who bot several accounts while playing games might be getting an amd octocore.

 

The new 6ghz out the box cpu from amd is a joke really idk why they released it.

Intel bringing out some hexacores and some octocores but for server cpus so meh if you've got mass cash to spend.

I don't think it's possible to add cores to your processor.

Its called Core unlocking, and yes it is possible, but not on intel cpus, and ive only seen Athlon II, Phenom II triples turned into quads and quads into six cores...

That's because it's AMD nuff said.

Some 4 core amd's are just their 6 cores that haven't worked properly on one or two cores and so amd turn 2 cores off and sell it as the 4 core.

This only really applies to the old stuff like the athlons and the phenoms.

I've never heard of it not seen it done which is why I said that. I've seen extreme over clocking done before though.
