i5 4440 vs fx 8350 for gaming

[johnbennet]

what cpu is better

 

[gear999]

i5 4440 should be better for most games for now due to the strong single threaded performance.
I have an i5 4460 and it's performing great.

FX 8350 can be compared to a 3570K when gaming.

Also, new APIs (direct 12 and mantle) makes multi core CPU perform better. So in the long term, a FX 8 core should perform better than a low I5.

If you plan to get a 4690, it would outperform any AMD FX though.

i5 is better ? why

Simply put: The i5 has 4 fast threads, the FX has 8 slower threads.

Games only tend to use up to 4 threads/cores; only a few games(and I'm talking single digits here) use more than that. Therefore for gaming, the i5's 4 faster threads will be better than the FX's 8 slower threads.
