want to buy amd but afraid of high temp

[thephenom1157]

hi everyone,
i'm building a secondary pc for gaming , not new games but i talk about 2013,2012 and older
like cod black ops 2 , sleeping dogs, Assassin creed black flag ....etc
just looking to medium to high setting , dont care about details
and have very limited budget (about 220$ for cpu , mobo and ram , so intel wont work for me , so i thinking to go for APU series
specifically A8 6600k with HD 8570D , this is my 1st time to use amd , i always use nvidia and intel , i read alot about people complain about high temp cpu of amd , so i need to know if this is true , cuz i cant afford buy new one if something happened due to high temp
2nd question , is that cpu and HD 8570D can handle the games i mentioned above? with 4g ram , i play on 1280x1024 with medium to high setting ,
sorry for long speech and thank you

both of them are i5
and the top right was a joke 😛

That's not the comparison I pulled that from. This is. Your's is comparing the Q4 2014 machine with the Q3 2014 machine of the same tier.

according to the specs, the builds not only have different cpu but also they have different hardware too. so please confirm before posting anything and please dont expect any answer by my side as i'm singing off.

Different hardware which I explained does not affect performance. The iTunes and LAME encodings would only be affected by platform. Both machines have an SSD, so there is no storage bottleneck, the memory are extremely similar sets of 8GB G.SKILL 2133MHz RAM, and the motherboards do not present any noticeable difference in hardware that would cause a deviation in results, specially since we are comparing stock clocks and not OC results.

Feel free to not respond; I still will put this information up for anyone who reads this thread in the future for guidance so that they can get a proper answer.

last thing, Do you even know encoding or rendering any video uses CPU and GPU both,huh? and you cannot compete gtx 980 with a 970. Please remember my words "confirm before posting anything".

That is true for professional level software, but not for consumer software like iTunes and LAME. Tom's specifically chose these tests because they isolate single-core CPU performance with as few other variables affecting the result.

Feel free to provide any supporting evidence for your case. You have done nothing but present possible issues with my evidence, which I continue to demonstrate as invalid. If you can demonstrate with reliable benchmarks that Hyper-threading lowers single-core performance significantly, please do present the results. I would prefer this forum to have complete answers so future readers can find the solution to the problems they have

Here'e further evidence that Hyper-Threading has essentially no effect on single core performance. Notice that this is an extremely old article from 2002; the technology should not have deteriorated in the last 13 years and, if anything, should have improved.

They are usually hotter than intel cpu's because they use older arquitecture, wich means that produces more heat and consumes more power but that doesnt mean its a bad cpu or anything less, you will be fine. My main concern is the actual choice you make, with an apu you need very high speed ram in order to get decent fps and graphics. So maybe you could look into the intel g3258 with an h97 mobo and cheap ram. And in that case, any gpu you choose will be better.

pentium g3258 with gt 640 and 4g ram , can handle the games i mentioned?

No, it wont. You need a better gpu.
