I just compare all AMD Processors and FX 8350 is d best.
I want to do gaming on my PC. So is it best choice? 8 cores for gaming?
Or quad or hexa core is good choice for just gaming?
And hey I can afford it, no money problem.

Many games don't utilize more than 2 cores, a few will use 4. The 8 cores on the AMD cpu goes to waste in gaming. Now for hardcore movie editing, etc. the 8 Cores will dominate the i5, but then the i7 steps in however at a much higher price.

The 3570k per core performance handily beats the 8350. Multithreaded apps, (as previously stated) such as high end video software favors having more cores.


EDIT: Since you don't want to overclock, the 3570k and 3570 are identical, just the "k" version is overclockable. In that case, the i5 wins at base clocks if I'm not mistaken.

The i5 3570k still has an edge in gaming over the FX8350. The i7 sometimes preforms better in games, sometimes it doesn't. Some games don't like hyper threading. The performance gain from the i5 to the i7 is not worth it.

That being said, the i5/i7 is also more expensive.

Intel: Go with i5 3570k
AMD: Go with the FX8350

I was considering i5 3570 processor first. But AMD has 8 core processor. And 8 MB L2 cache. Which one os better. And price doesnt matter

I don't want to overclocked Processor. So which one is better without overclocking? And hey FX is 4 ghz. Where as i5 is just 3.3 ghz.

Base clock of FX 8350 is 4 Ghz and dat of i5 3570 is 3.4 Ghz. I don't want to play old games. I want to play latest games. And all required quad core processors. And i want 3 years of gaming on my new pc. And maybe after one year games will require more cores? Waiting for reply

I honestly can't tell you if games will start utilizing more than 4 cores in the next few years.

As of right now though, the 3570 at 3.3 GHz is superior to the 8350 at its stock clock in gaming. They trade blows in production software. The "k" version will allow you to overclock in a few years to help keep up. The 8350 is already unlocked and overclockable. So really, both of them will last a while in gaming. It will take a several years before the 3570 and 8350 become the bottlenecks for highend graphic cards.

Clock-to-clock performance on FX cpus is lower than on Ivy bridge ones. But in the future, many games will utilize 8 core cpus due to next-gen consoles using the same type of processor ( rights? ), therefor FX8350 will be more future-prof compared to LGA1155 CPUs. The same thing happened with Phenom II x4 CPUs. They were decent for gaming at launch but got nominated as best CPU for gaming at 100$ price range in 2013 by Tom.

While this is likely true, it isn't necessarily due to that fact. The console and PC cpu's while identical in architecture, are still very different. It just makes porting games easier, since the programming needed to port will be minimal compared to current gen consoles.

At least hexa core processors may require for future gaming, And this is what i am saying. And hey ya right. Aur next consoles are 8 cores

Intel 4 cores really beat 8 cores of an amd processors. But if you want a multi-threading like video rendering or other stuff using threads like compressing files. Definitely go with lot of cores. But if you only focus in gaming 3570K is the best choice.

3570K will last in future games. No worry of that. You only need to have the best GPU to get best experience in gaming and to last the future that you were talking about.

You also have to take into consideration that the next gen CPUs by intel are all Quad core once again. Really until Intel starts cranking out the everyday 6 Core CPU then many games won't start supporting it fully. And the majority of high end effects are dependent upon the GPU almost entirely.

And hey i also want to purchase a GTX Graphics card. Either 660 or 660 ti. (Not decided yet)
So gaming on which processor will be extreme? Future gaming also matters.
Which one is best combination?

3570K will be called an ancient one after 4-5 years upon release on gaming area. Just bought high end graphics card to get more amazing effects.
But if you consider 8350 the most like the thread title you create :lol: an AMD Processors. 8350 will be good choice. Just add more cooler so it last long hours of gaming...

You can use overclocking in the future.

660 ti would be a wiser choice. because if you will buy gtx 660 it will be like gtx g50 ti boost OC edition by ASUS

They have a very large price range between gtx 650 ti boost and gtx 660

you if u guys dont know , here is what the fx 8350 is all about - its a 4core cpu with glorified hyper threading and each of them share 4mh of cashe thus its 4 cores plus 4weaker cores inside the cores .... its a native 4core but glorified hyper threading and thats y its called a 8core lol like this even for the i3 the windows shows 4 cores ... almost the same concept

The FX-8350 outperforms both the Core i5-3470 and the 3570K on multithreading. As a result, the FX-8350 will give you more performance for your dollar than the Core i5-3570K, and it at least rivals the value favorite from Intel, the Core i5-3470.

Pop over to the gaming scatter, though, and the picture changes dramatically. There, the FX-8350 is the highest-performance AMD desktop processor to date for gaming, finally toppling the venerable Phenom II X4 980. Yet the FX-8350's gaming performance almost exactly matches that of the Core i3-3225, a $134 Ivy Bridge-based processor. Meanwhile, the Core i5-3470 delivers markedly superior gaming performance for less money than the FX-8350. The FX-8350 isn't exactly bad for video games—its performance is generally acceptable. But it is relatively weak compared to the competition.

This strange divergence between the two performance pictures isn't just confined to gaming, of course. The FX-8350 is also relatively pokey in image processing applications, in SunSpider, and in the less widely multithreaded portions of video encoding. Many of these scenarios rely on one or several threads, and the FX-8350 suffers compared to recent Intel chips in such cases. Still, the contrast between the FX-8350 and the Sandy/Ivy Bridge chips isn't nearly as acute as it was with the older FX processors. Piledriver's IPC gains and that 4GHz base clock have taken the edge off of the objections.

There is one big difference is the transition from Bulldozer to Piledriver cores—or, to put it more precisely, from Bulldozer to Piledriver modules. These "modules" are a fundamental structure in AMD's latest architectures, and they house two "tightly coupled" integer cores that share certain resources, including a front-end, L2 cache, and floating-point unit. Thus, AMD bills a four-module FX processor as an eight-core CPU, and we can't entirely object to that label.
