Intel equivalent to AMD's FX-8320?

[GDonPadlan]

Hello,

I am curious as to what CPU from Intel is similar in performance compared to AMD's FX-8320.

Thanks in advance!

Mostly i3s and entry level i5s. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-cpu-review-overclock,3106-5.html

4570. 😀

For gaming that is true. Maybe first generation i7s from 2009. The AMD chips do quite a bit better in things like video encoding.

4570. 😀

Only at 5Ghz!

for gaming, which has variance, i3 or i5... but generally the i5. For specific tasks like rendering and video encoding and physics based operations (3d renders) the 8 core FX sits between the i5 an the i7, and often closer to the i7 than the i5.

probably the 4570 or the 4570k they are a little bit more expensive but they do run a lot cooler or you could go with the 4670 or 4670k but the 8350 is a very good budget cpu especially with its overclocking capabilities

8320*

Hey,

*It's not easy to compare if you're talking GAMING because games vary on how many CPU cores they can effectively use. For a game like BF4 you might see little CPU bottlenecking but for a game like SKYRIM you might see about 40% better performance using a modern Intel i5.

If it was comparing something basic like video converting with HANDBRAKE that would be very simple.

 

[Rationale]

For gaming, the most comparable CPU to the FX-8320 in performance is the i3-4330.

Of course, there are a few random games where a Pentium beats the FX-8320, and a few random games where the FX-8320 beats a low-level i5. But those are outliers. Usually an FX-8320 will perform about the same as an i3-4330.
