I'm going to build a gaming computer, and I've seen that many benchmarks shown 3570k was better than FX-8350.
3570k is quad core and has 3,4 Ghz L2-cache 1MB, L3-cache 6 MB.
FX-8350 is octa core and has 4,0 Ghz L2-cache 8 MB, L3-cache 8 MB.
How can Intel give better performance? AMDs cpu is better in every single part.
Thanks in advance!
Disable every 2nd core on the 8350 and overclock it will beat the i5 in performance
I'm extremely skeptical about what you say. I'll have to ask my pal 8350rocks about this. Are you saying that if you disable every second core then the 8350 won't have to share resources, therefore it'll be better at single threaded tasks?
Either way, whoever picks the 8350 over a 3570k for gaming, I feel sorry for them. The second they go to play some MMO online multiplayer like World of Tanks(that only uses 2 cores and is heavily CPU dependant) they'll realize that their CPU isn't up to snuff to play games like this. You'll get way better performance from an i5. The 8350 has a specific use, multithreading. Thd 3570k can be used for everything.
If you compare a 3570k to an 8350 clock for clock. The 3570k matches(or beats) the 8350's multithreading performance and severely demolishes it in single threading and programs that use 4 or less cores(a lot of programs and games). The 3570k has .6Ghz MORE overclocking potential since it's clocked .6Ghz less to start off with. Plus the 3570k reacts better to overclocking, meaning you get more performance from overclocking than you do with the 8350. Not to mention that at stock clocks the 3570k is still a far better CPU.
If your an overclocker, the clear winner is the 3570k. And if you don't then still, get a 3570k.
General knowledge says the 3570k is the better all around processor. If you disagree then that just means your in the minority on this. Usually this tell you something. Although this is still my opinion but I base my opinions on facts.
Btw, Xerxz, are you saying that since the 8350 is clocked higher and has more cache it's suppose to be better? Stats aren't everything. In fact, their pretty meaningless. A 3570k has WAY more IPC(instuctions per clock) than an 8350. It's not even close. If you into stats, why don't you take a look at actual benchmarks, they'll show you how much better the 3570k really is. Find a review of a 3570k and 8350 both clocked at 4.8Ghz, you'll see.
