Wow 8350 isnt so bad

Didnt you watch the video? they were using a amd 7870 with all the tests...
 

What? The FX series cpus don't have integrated graphics.
 
good vid but maybe a little unclear. around 2.27 he starts mentioning architectural differences and points out L2 cache specifically for 8350. honest mistake I guess in not mentioning dedicated L2's for Intel.

and in warhead 1080p he mentions 24.92 frames for 3570K while the vid shows 37.12 fps, another honest mistake probably 😉

I do believe that AMD does gets too bad a press. I'll hold on to my high hopes for "Steamy".
good share EchoOne
 



Oh yea thats why i choose the am3+ socket over the lga 1155 socket. i have too also have high hopes for steam roller. 😀
 

good for you. you might have already seen this: http://www.anandtech.com/show/6201/amd-details-its-3rd-gen-steamroller-architecture
but whats worth noting is that the decoder which cores in each module share in Bully has been duplicated in Steamy. This means the cores would have to wait for lesser durations to cycle tasks. lets hope Haswell-Steamy would be more neck to neck, more balanced than how it has been till now.
 

Maybe he was talking about the old AMD A4 dual cores

LOL
 


I think if you are selective in what you test you can prove anything. There are plenty of apps where the AMD chips do beat Intel and plenty of games that are 95% GPU anyway.

 


I'm personally all for AMD being competitive, but if that's true, than those tests are invalid.

There's a reason that when testing graphics cards you use a Xeon and when testing processors you use an extremely powerful card; you get bottlenecks otherwise, and that's going to cause havoc with results. Do this again with a 7970, or a pair of them, get the same results, and I'll start cheering.
 


Do you run a pair of 7970s? I think more people are running cards in the 7850-7870 range. Who cares if the 3570K gets 20 more fps with a card I will never own?

Yes it isolates the processor, but it also creates results that mean nothing to the average user.

I want to see a review where it just lists the maximum quality settings at popular resolutions that one can use and still maintain 60fps. It's kind of pointless to see a benchmark showing 20fps for one CPU and 28 for another because that just means neither are acceptable. It's not a win if both lose.
 


Not true. Shogun 2 is a highly demanding CPU game, just look in the benchmarks.

The fact is that i5-3570k is better than gaming.
 


No i dont think ive seen that link before. nice find.

If steamroller could be competive with haswell that would be amazing. however id be happy if its on par with ivy bridge
 


i have to agree.

I still think the i5 3570k is the faster gaming cpu and will contiune to recommend to my friends and just in general people i know
