Intel or AMD OC

[Dropy]

Hi
I plan to make a gaming pc and i can not choose if intel i5 4690 non k or an overclocked AMD FX 8350 is better.
Thank you in advance

In gaming in general the i5 will perform better, even against an overclocked FX.

The i5 is better. Even intel I3 outperform or match the highest end amd cpus so far. AMD is several generations beyond.
This shows the rank of the cpus.

i5 will perform a little better in games but running many applications at once 8350 will win. If you plan on overclocking then go with 8350.
Although for $20 more you can get a 4690K.

are we really still getting these questions?
We were getting these when it was fx8350 vs Sandy bridge i5 2500k, and the 2500k was the gamers choice
We were getting the question when it was 8350 vs ivy bridge 3570k, and of course the ivy bridge being another 10-15% faster than sandy bridge, it's still the gamers choice.
We are now on haswell i5 4690's which is another 10-15% faster than ivy bridge, and we are still getting these questions...........
You also need to factor in with the 8350 the cooling, psu and motherboard required to overclock it well offsetts any cost that you save on the cpu itself.

i5-4690 will outperform it in every way. Memory processing is more superior, and that is important for high performance games. If you compare CPU frequency number alone, AMD can be numerically higher, but this does not necessarily mean the CPU performs better.
