Would an 8 core be better for next gen?

Would an 8 core processor(ex. AMD FX 8350) or a 4 core(ex. Intel I7 3820) for playing next gen games?

if bf4 beta is anything to go by for the future then yes more cores or 4 with ht

I would say so, those benchmarks are in conquest mode (not assault mode) which means the maps are up to 64 players and all vehicles are included. There are some floating around from assault mode where the max players are limited to 20 and vehicles are not used.

Based on those benchmarks, the 8350 would be a better bet for next gen gaming.

This exact bench has swayed my decision for my little bro's build, it was strict budget so it was either 8320 + little oc and a 7870 + ssd boot drive, or i5 + little oc, 7850 and no ssd boot drive

Its not finalized yet though I'll have to make a thread!

8350rocks guy said that 8350 is best. Kinda funny ;D...

con635 :

I am running the 8350 + HD 7870XT and I OC'ed from 4.0 to 4.4 and it runs everything I can throw at it. The 8320 should hit 4.0 GHz no problem, perhaps a bit more if you want to push it.

You can check out my CPU-Z validation, and my build in my sig to see the parts I chose.

What the chart missing is the i5 3570k, i7 3770k, i5 4570k, i5 4670k and i7 4770k, but if i7 2600k is just 1 fps slower then FX 8350, I would think i7 3770k and i7 4770k would be faster.

Possibly...for twice the money, you'd get likely 1-2 FPS, perhaps 3 FPS more.
