amd fx 8350 vs intel i5 3670k

[sanket0921]

I want to build a gaming rig but
Also I will not be upgrading it for next 6-8 years
I will not be playing any fps
Only assassin's creed n others such games
Will the comming assassin's creed utilise more than 4 core
Or if the intel will serve me for next 6-8 years I will go with Intel and also suggest me a good motherboard with a sli support n oc support
It must be under 160US$ 10000 inr(indian rupees) please any help will be appreciated
Thanks in advance 😛

My gpu zotac gtx 760

You do realize you cant buy an i5 at 160 US, let alone the rest of the build.

for that price , you can't buy either of the cpu , never mind the rest of the system

There is no such thing as an i5-3670K.

Assuming you mean i5-4670K, the i5 is the better solution to dealing with real-time workloads no matter how many cores the game can leverage. A real-time workload that can scale into 8 threads will still run better on the i5 than on the FX-8350. This is because performance can not scale proportionally with core count in these types of workloads. Best case scenario the FX-8350 will be as good as the i5 but never better in some cases. The i5 will always be as good or better.

Most quality motherboards start at $100-$135, with a new cpu adding at least $200 to that, so you will be forced to choose a slightly older, used MB/CPU combo, IMO...

An older i5 socket 1155/1156, coupled with a decent GPU....

However, it might be a fanatasy to think you can get a rig now for that budget you mentioned and game with it for 6-8 years, unless you intend to play Medal of Honor or Q3 or Q4 the whole time.

My budget for mobo is 160$ not the apu

Hey mdocod
In future will a 8 core game work on i5 if yes
Will it be better than amd fx8350

 

[mdocod]

There's no such thing as an "8 core game." Highly threaded games already exist, some spawn DOZENS of threads. They still run better on i5's than they do on FX-83XX's.

Remember, we can run as many threads as we want on a core, this is going on all the time on your computer anyway (there are probably hundreds of threads already running on your computer right now), but we can never run a thread on more than one core at a time. This one way relationship between threads and cores means that the i5 will pretty much always provide higher usable execution throughput to real-time workloads than an FX-83XX. The real-time nature of gaming workloads makes it near impossible to get high saturation across more than a few cores, since the workload is tied to a timeline, which is ultimately tied to one of those threads.

Assassin's Creed is generally CPU heavy. So... Go with an i5 4670K or something similar. Motherboard, I suggest Asus Z97.
