ericjohn004 :
Here you go. This is Tom's Hardwares conclusion.
"The primary goal of today’s test was to find out if the reports of an AMD FX-based performance boost with high-speed RAM were true. The secondary goal was to find the best module set to get us that performance advantage. And while most of today’s benchmarks demonstrated negligible performance gains going from DDR3-1600 to DDR3-2400, one application really did jump by 6%. That’s a small gain in performance for such a big push in data rate, but it’s still noticeable. Dropping some of our RAM to CAS 6 at DDR3-1600 didn’t give us the same speed-up."
We can go all day about which processor is better for gaming. It's obvious the 3570k is a whole lot better if you believe the most trustworthy website in the world, Tom's Hardware. And if you think your website is better than Tom's then why don't you stay on their forum with all of your AMD buddies cause this is a neutral website.
But our primary argument was about an 8350 beating a 3930k in rendering and so far you havn't produced any kind of factual argument whatsoever, where I have produced many, many benchmarks proving my point. And you can find all of these gaming/program/rendering benchmarks all over the internet. But you can only find an AMD winning over Intel on an extremely limited number of websites that seem to obviously have an agenda. And that agenda is benchmarking processors with the goal of AMD winning. It seems the whole point of these video's you link me to, are to purposely find ways AMD beats Intel. When you start off benchmarking processors trying to prove that one wins over another, then the results are hardly going to be honest. And the results that do show the truth, won't be included. I usually try to stay away from biased websites while you seem to favor them. Why is this?
For example, I bet you any money this website will never test the game Skyrim. Because this game shows Intel doubling the performance of AMD. So you won't find that comparison, even though it's one of the most popular gaming benchmarks, because it conflicts with their agenda. If you really wanted to have an "open mind", you would read some of Tom's Hardware's reviews of the 8350. The 8350 doesn't score a whole lot lower on most gaming benchmarks, but the 3570k is clearly superior. Don't you trust Tom's Hardware to give you the truth over some agenda driven website like tek syndicate.
BTW, isn't tek syndicate way late on their benchmarks. These processors came out almost a year ago. This is all really old news and their still comparing these processors.
You really don't listen to a word I say...
Read the comments at the bottom of the video...
Also...here are some comparisons...talk about power hungry AMD chips...if you're not doing extremely top end rendering, the AMD will serve you better:

Go down about half a page on this one to see the Cinebench 11.5 results...they're comparable to high end i7 results
Another Cinebench result:

That's an older benchmark, but you can still see performance.
If you want a minor boost in raw performance, that draw more wattage at idle and under load, sure...get the 3930K...if you want 95% performance for 30% of the cost...get the AMD, for $169.99 vs. $509, many of these benchmarks have basically stated..."You visually cannot perceive the difference without staring at a benchmark program"...why blow $340.00 for an imperceptible difference? Spend that money on your GPUs.
