AMD FX8350 BETTER than Intel 3570K n 3770K

[scypheroth]

YUP i coudnt believe it too but its true...i have a I5-3570K and im happy with it but this blows my mind...biggest thing too is the AMD CPU is cheaper then a I5....

We had one of these. It did not go well.

It sure is a somewhat controversial video. I think it was brought up in another thread.

I find the results very interesting. I'm glad that AMD is still putting out somewhat competitive CPUs.

So, overall performance is same or better than Intel in some games. But I don't think that they mentioned the power-consumption, which is def. more than Intel.

But if you don't care about power consumption, and want the best overall CPU, then AMD FX is def. the way to go. Intel has yet to release a consumer 8-core CPU, whereas AMD has done it already.

It sure is a somewhat controversial video, that's for sure. I think it was brought up in another thread though.

Yep already another thread on this. Definitely controversial, but the recent FX chips are a pretty good bargain. Unless your livelihood depends on every second your cpu can save, and you have the necessary power supply, they definitely will kill most tasks. Not as good as Intel still, but not as much either.

I haven't clicked, but it's the same video from those guys testing xsplit with some questionable methodology?


if that's the case, xplit capture/encoding and gaming at the same time is hardly that important, also there are tons of decent reviews of these CPUs from many different sources, what makes their video better than the others?!

it's quite obvious by the results avaliable that when a game is more CPU demanding, the i5 is a good amount faster....

In poker we have this saying "If you cant spot the sucker, the sucker is you.".
Do the math.

It certainly is for people that stream. It's quite clear that the extra cores help with that.

How many people do live streaming and can't afford a i7-3930K? Is that what everyone in Kansas City is doing with their cheap gigabit fiber?

I would like a more verbosity in the review. You know, what scenes are selected and how long the benchmark ran. But it's nice to see more parts to add to my shopping list.
