Best AMD CPU! Help Please!!

[Fading_Clos3r]

Hi, Basically I am looking for the best AMD CPU that is currently on the market, I mean the best for performance as I don't really care about efficiency. Thanks!

 

[dangus]

can i ask, why AMD? the answer would be the FX-9590 or, yeah, the FX-8370

FX-8370

And It's worse than Intel i5 + i7.

Cant really recommend anything AMD as everything they have is going to be obsolete in a few months when their new stuff comes out.

not to mention all the CPUs the offer are just kinda turdy at this point in time. this coming from an AMD fan

Im not sure tbh, I can either get an Intel I5 4460 or the best AMD CPU ( FX-9590). Which one should I get, please answer without an bias towards AMD or Intel

i5 all day every day. why the 4460, though? there are newer intel CPUs out like the i5 6400/6500/6600k

Wait until tomorrow when the new Zen arch is released. Otherwise anything you get will be worse than mid-range Intel.

Because I have already got 32gb of ddr3 ram, so I cannot get a skylake processor. So is the 4460 better than the AMD processor?

The 4460 is a much better processor. It should perfom better in the majority of titles and its not an unstable monstrosity like 9590 nor does the 4460 require a beefy expensive motherboard and cooler to properly support it like the 9590. I love AMD so let me be the first to say the 9590 and all 9xxx CPUs are not worth it in any capacity, they are just overvolted overcloked 5 year old FX 83xx CPUs.

Just wait for AMD Zen

I've noticed that the latest gen of Intel chips are cheaper than the DDR3 previous generation chips, and that might help you offset your costs. An i5 4460 or better is still more expensive than a comparable DDR4 chip.

Seriously though, wait until tomorrow when prices and performance of Zen are apparent. If they're good chips, the prices of a lot of things will go down, and you'll have much better choices from both AMD and Intel.

I have no loyalties either way, in fact I hope Zen is good because I'll buy one to replace my i5 4690k to get more high end cores. But if I had to make a decision today, I wouldn't even consider an AMD CPU because the performance per watt is lousy.

Waiting for Zen will require a new MOBO and new RAM just like Sky/Kabylake.

The OP would like to keep using their 32GB of RAM.

Your only choice would be a previous gen intel as AMD has nothing worth getting that would take advantage of your 32GB of RAM.

Well he could still wait for zen. Not saying that what he should buy but there might be a price drop on AMD current line up when zen launches.
