How much of a difference is there with :

FX 6300
FX 8350
i5 3570K
i5 4670K

Let's stick by real world benchmarks/results please. I am confused enough with all the synthetic benchmarks.

Say, we partner each procie with a HD7950 or GTX760, a decent Z77/990FX motherboard.

How much of a FPS difference will there be? ( I think this method will be more accurate than synthetic benchmarks ). A 2-3 FPS increase/drop will most likely not be so much of a big deal in gaming.|

Also, please do try to back up your answer with a legit screenies or so. I would appreciate if anyone out there with the same build replies to the topic at hand.


Thanks in advance

The following benchmarks do not include Hawells CPUs since they were written prior to it's release. The difference in performance from CPU to CPU will depend on how CPU dependent the games is. Games that do not care how fast the CPU is as long as it does not bottleneck the GPU will provide very similar results; examples are BioShock and Tomb Raider.

on most games your looking at about a 2-3fps difference at stock clocks, slightly more if you have a 4670k running at 4.4ghz.

in a highly intensive game like crysis 3 or ultra modded skyrim your going to be looking at about a 5% difference from the fx6350 and 4670k. but if the $$$ saved by buying the fx6350 moves you from a 670/7950 to a 680/7970 or a 7970ghz, then you will gain 6-10fps.

FX6350?

What do you means 2-3, is that from 6300 to 4670K or 3570K or 8350? Please do clarify, thanks!

For pretty much all games, there won't be a noticeable difference with any of these cards. The only situations in which you'd notice the Intel CPUs pulling ahead is in some online games, which tend to be CPU-dependent. Since Intel's per-core performance is better than AMD's, games like Planetside 2 (which runs on one thread) will be bottlenecked by AMD's offerings.

Lastly, a Skyrim review that predates AMD's Piledriver CPUs and Intel's Ivy Brige CPUs.

The benchmarks should be enough to draw your own conclusions...
