FX-8350 VS APU 3870k benchmarks - How much a slower CPU bottlenecks a GPU

You should have compared CPUs of the same architecture and if possible core count.

The A8-3870K is Llano based which has higher per-core performance than the Piledriver-based FX-8350. The FX has four more cores, but they really aren't used in a 3Dmark type benchmark because the CPU threads for game graphics handling are one or two threads at most.

Your test doesn't show what you want it to show because the results are not comparable.

The 3DMark Vantage uses more than two for sure.

But your point is valid and true... so different to make any conclusion... in fact the high score for CPU is because the 8 cores and not the performance per core itself.
