If intel slaps 8 cores on an affordable CPU it will destory anything AMD has. Even 6 core intels rape AMD's 8 cores easily in multithreaded tasks. AMD is good value, plain and simple...and that is why its in our next gen console. |
No.
Even Intel 8 real cores is weaker than AMD 8 real cores when you talk about multithread tasks... SMP is better in AMD CPUs.
Some example: http://www.cpu-world.com/Compare/444/AMD_FX-Series_FX-8350_vs_Intel_Core_i5_i5-3570K.html
You can research if you want... the problems is that Intel destroy AMD in single-threaded tasks... the difference is way bigger than the advantage in multi-thread performance of AMD... and PC Desktops uses more single-threaded tasks than multi.
