So I am going from an intel i5 3470 to a Intel i7 4770k. But something bugs me. Is that I've been hearing AMD is getting better. I play games also. I love setting it to the max settings for some jaw dropping graphics. I also do 3d modeling. Like blender. Since I can't afford those top of the line 3d modeling softwares. Since I switched from a EVGA GTX 660 SC to a XFX Radeon 7870 DD I can't use CUDA. So I was wondering which would be faster in rendering? An i7 4470k or an amd. I don't know which AMD proc to get. My price range is the same as the i7.
