Intel Core i7 4770 vs amd fx-9590

[quad2012]

Hi there,

As I'm thinking about building up a new machine I'm unsure which of these processors might fit me better.
The main purpose of the machine will be gaming but since I'm working in science I'll might also use it sometimes to process some larger data files at home, where multiple threads will be an advantage. I'm also not quite sure what to think of intels hyper-threading thingy, do you think it makes up for the missing cores - in SMP supported applications?

Thanks for some opinions in advance

Not even a comparison. i7-4770. We all are disappointed with the fx-9xxx series.

Considering that the FX-9xxx is over clocking of the 8 series? Serious? The 9xxx is simply FX 8xxx super clocked at some 4.7 Ghz instead of the common 3s.

Just go for an Intel Xeon E3-1230v3

That processor, like the i7-4770K, is hyperthreaded, and will make up for a lot of not having 8 cores. It uses about a third the power (probably savings of $10-50 a year), is faster at single threaded applications, and really isn't far back at all in multithreaded apps like your processing. It even costs less:

Hope I could help!

Why don't you just get a Xeon E5-2630 V2?

I agree with Hevatroid. Intel Core i7-4770K.

only reason to get a fx 9590 is if its like 180 bucks other that its intel all the way
