Like I said, you supported Dis, he was saying that an Intel vairant 8 core would destroy the AMD version, and he's right just by looking at your data basing on logic. If you read his post again, you will know what I mean. As a matter of fact, I see plenty of hexa core xeons in action with 12 threads, those things are fucking monsters. O_Ob When Haswell-E comes out, it will be even more ridiculous, they will make 6-8 core Intels more common in desktops and running 12-16 threads! :D

 

ps: also, I'm comparing Ivy Bridge to Piledriver, your data is old by now.

Yeap... I don't know about the Ivy Bridge and Piledriver... the gap grow up?

For general purpose, I prefer 8350, but for gaming, I prefer the 3570K overall, they are both around the same price range with i5 being faster overall for gaming. Once we get into the 3770 category though, the 8350 can't compete with the 3770, especially after OC, but there is a price difference. Now lets move into Haswell-E territory, which is another performance increase over the Ivy Bridge clock by clock, and now runs on 8 cores with 16 threads..... It's going to kick the shit out of Steamroller, but more expensive for sure.
