Intel i7 4770k or Amd fx 8350?

intel atom all the way

 

Definitely 4770k. I have one, love it. Perfect!

 

yes i agree, those intels have better single threaded performance, since games aren't utilizing all 8 cores, the performance will be a little slower in games. I haven't personally had any issues with slowdowns yet though (just saying). It shines in situations where you have multiple things running at once, since it can delegate separate cores to those processes. If a game uses 4 of its cores now, then it has 4 extra cores to use for other things, keeping the game running without much slowdowns from how it normally runs.

there are some numbers for the i5 4670k for the d-series in the CPU performance thread, unfortunately no one has listed their 4770k yet...
there's also data for the 8320

i am only arguing amd because there is no background info on what this cpu will be used for. If the amd is sufficient for what they need, then the extra money saved from getting that could buy them a better graphics card, case, fans, ram, and whatnot

 

I think we all know the better forum is linustechtips.

Really? This shouldn't be a competition. :/
Now, to be a hypocrite, I personally have a thing against tomshardware. I don't trust them. After that come TPU! and LTT. The best are anandtech, overclockers, and extremeoverclocking.

 

Yup, ill just toss $300 at something i need to ask the internet about. Hey internet, im too lazy to do any research on my own, blindly suggest me things!

 

I'll be honest, if I had money I would pay a good bit to have someone build a custom PC so I wouldn't have to deal with it. And I like building my own. But yes, those people that don't know anything about it get annoying.

 

Disregarding price, how is any AMD CPU better than an Intel counterpart? I've never seen anything that would suggest, at the current time, that any AMD CPU would be a better choice.

 

A good many APUs have their place in the market and sometimes a 8320 goes on sale to where it's price/perf is much better than a 4670k.

 

Disregarding price? But that is the primary benefit, you do get adequete performance at a lower price than an intel system. Yes intel is better, but I couldnt afford it.

 

Ok, but an APU is not a CPU... and I said disregarding price. Hence the "if you can afford it".

 

I'm sitting here with my AMD FX-8320, and all I can say is that I kinda wish I had gone Intel. Now, I don't like Intel really, but my Laptop, a Dell XPS 15Z, can somewhat outperform my tower with it's i7 mobile core. The only reason I don't do that is because it overheats in its little laptop case with its crappy fans. That, and the GPU is on the verge of a meltdown. But I can say from experience, Intels work better with BeamNG than does AMD... ( as much as I love AMD )

 

My thoughts exactly (incl. being a sucker for AMD). Still, since there's always gonna be some space for improvement, to avoid losing mind in this arms race one has to decide how good is good enough. Do I really need all that oomph. Is 74 FPS with four Gavril D15s on screen on a i7-4770K really that all that better compared with 49 FPS on a DDR2-driven venerable Phenom II X6 from four years ago. The way I see it, a proper AMD FX @4-5 GHz is enough for all kinds of home use applications incl. gaming while being significantly cheaper to buy as a complete platform. So if you're on a budget it's not a bad idea at all.

By the way, I wonder what will they come up with next. I've heard some rumors about AMD ditching the CPU line completely and focusing on APUs only. That would suck...

 

Go with Intel. From what I hear they are higher quality than AMD. I got i7 4771 2 weeks ago and it is amazing!

 

I would say this sums up the thread well because Intel's CPU architecture is faster than AMDs.

 

They are most definitely not "higher quality" than AMD. AMD and Intel chips are of the same quality. The difference between the two is performance.

Intel chips may be faster performers, but they're also a lot more expensive than AMD chips.

 

AMD is not so bad most people think..

 

But this is BeamNG, which has very poo AMD optimization

 

Yep.

Honestly, if you live near a microcenter there is no reason to not get a 4670k at least. (Well, maybe the i3 4340. Thing kicks butt) For $244 I've got more speed than I know what to do with, and I'm only at 4ghz. I've maxed every game I have, I need people to send me more games!

Honestly though, I don't see many arguments to a 4670k+mobo for $244 at all.

 

still won't run crysis 3 (hehehehehehehe)
