Hello

Intel has way too many cpu's out that are close to each other.

Taking one last look at Intel before I buy the AMD 8350

With all of the i5's and i7's available, is it worth it to buy non K models?

I plan to do gaming, video editing, 3D design and rendering.

I am choosing the 8350 because of the 8 cores and the price.

Should I look at Intel or should I go ahead and get the AMD 8350 as planned and use more money to buy a very good gpu?


 
Solution
@OP The 8350 is your best bet. Only i7 I can think of that might outperform the 8350 in heavily threaded programs would be those 6 core/12 thread ones. But that would be a colossal investment for rather paltry gains. The performance gain of hyperthreading is somewhere in the realm of 1.1x per core.

Never mind the insanely high price tag.

+1 They should at least remove the CPUs authority mark from him and replace it with master of misinformation

LOL...I LOVE THAT MONIKER!!!! Hafijur - Master of Misinformation! :rofl:
 
Sigh. Can we limit ourselves to discussion of processors and agree that different people have different opinions? Or do I have to get out of my nice comfortable chair and start issuing bans?

Personal attacks and name-calling are against the forum terms of conduct even if you are right about the technical facts.
