Can someone please have mercy on me and explain or help me understand the justification for the giant price gap between these 2 processors...
AMD Athlon X4 860k ....vs.... Intel Core i5-6600K
I do not pretend to know anything about them except whats on the surface, for example,
Both are quad cores, but the AMD runs at higher GHz, is approximately $150-200 cheaper ... So what am i missing here that the intel has. Is it a OC capability (which I know little of) or is it reputation or just the intel hood ornament? Does it have something to do with the skylake thing?
A little background, I have used the AMD on a previous bargain build for a friend and I have the i5 on my personal box which I am quite happy with both.
