Did you even look at the multi-threaded benchmarks?  LOL the CPU's are right where I said they would be.  In fact the FX-8350 even beat the i7 in one of the benchmarks.

P.S.  Are you saying intel is stronger at single-threaded?  DUH!  Of course they are, but AMD's cores are way cheaper to produce.

 

Yea but have u taken a look at the gaming benchmarks? Intel beats amd in all cases and not to mention that there are far more single threaded applications then multi-threaded ones

Omg when will people get out of 2012:

The issue is that one or two games wheres the cpu performs slightly better isn't as good as a cpu performing better in majority of the games and applications. As I showed and stated that most applications and games aren't as optomized as bf4 and with the i5, he would have gotten superior performance in most games as well as great performance in multi-threaded games. His build is awesome but I do wish he choose a better CPU. Luckly for him, with DX12 and Mantle, it seems as though the CPU bottleneck won't matter very much


Look he is building a PC for 2014. In 2014 games use 8 threads:

The FX-83xx performs somewhere around an i5 - i7 pretty consistantly, the FX-63xx performs inbetween an i3 and i5, and FX-43xx is as strong as an i3.  Are you one of the people that said the Pentiums were stronger than Phenom II X4's?  You guys made me laugh so hard when all games started using 4 cores in 2012 and caused these intel budget builders to get sub 20 framerates.

P.S. I have an i7-4770K and it kicks ass.  My brother has an FX-8350, and it matches my old i5-3570K.



Prediction for console Lifetime sales:

Wii:100-120 million, PS3:80-110 million, 360:70-100 million

[Prediction Made 11/5/2009]

3DS: 65m, PSV: 22m, Wii U: 18-22m, PS4: 80-120m, X1: 35-55m

I gauruntee the PS5 comes out after only 5-6 years after the launch of the PS4.
