wich is better for multi tasking and gaming i5 4670k or fx 8320 ?

babernet_1 · Oct 17, 2013

4670K Beats AMD in virtually all games and draws less power. Even faster in BF 4.

WarWolverineWarrior · Oct 17, 2013

Depends on how much you want to spend. I5 would be optimal for Gaming. fx8xxx for multitasking alot. I'd say i5 will be enough.

WarWolverineWarrior :

i will be gaming and alt+tabing all the time

miranche1 · Oct 17, 2013

babernet_1 :

yea but most people say amd is better for multi tasking

Traemandir · Oct 17, 2013

i5 will beat AMDs best around the board. I think technically the AMD will be better at multitasking, but I would still go with the i5. Intel's architecture is so much more effecting than AMD's that the bulldozer can't keep up with the i5 even though they advertise a higher clock speed and more cores (but keep in mind it isn't truly 8 cores)

fanboy?

WarWolverineWarrior · Oct 17, 2013

miranche1 :

No, he's right. AMD will get the job done but Intel is faster that's why they don't need 8 core processors. ALT + Tabing is nothing. Multitasking is if you have 20+ programs open. So go for the gold and get the I5

No, he's just speaking the truth:-

babernet_1 :

BF4 is looking like a poor title for piledriver. the PD archetecture is pulling some very poor numbers, far worse then it should be generating in the BF4 beta... so it's not like you're that far off the mark

As to the OP's question, the 8320 is better for multitasking... 8 logical cores vs 4, even if those 4 are a little better then 6 piledriver cores.

as for gaming, it's no competition, unless the game is something like crysis3 or BF4, the i5 will be significantly better.

if i get an i5 im going to have to buy an shitty gpu im 13 i dont 1000 dollars xD

miranche1 :

that's a different question all together. If you are on a limited budget give us the number you're working with and we'll give you some gaming builds.

WarWolverineWarrior · Oct 17, 2013

fx 8320 will do the job just fine then. I don't get the point of your question. You should post another topic with help on a PC build. Plz include your budget.

miranche1 · Oct 17, 2013

Well i've got like $400 for cpu,motherboard and gpu

enemy1g · Oct 17, 2013

Calling someone a fanboy and being biased towards AMD, it sounds like you already want to get an AMD. Like others have said, post your total budget, not for just parts x, y, and z, and they will help you with a PC build.

miranche1 · Oct 17, 2013

enemy1g :

can you just get the fuck out of here? i told the budget

cmi86 · Oct 17, 2013

With that budget you need to buy and FX-6300, an decent 970 motherboard and a 7950. That is the best you will get, hands down no argument.

What games are you trying to play, on what kind of monitor and what settings?

nikoli707 · Oct 17, 2013

if your on a budget, get the 8350, I've seen them at the $150 price point recently on a good deal. the best price I've seen for a 4670k is $200 at microcenter. both will serve you well... the 8350 is going to be slightly faster in certain programs that handle high thread counts, but is going to be ever so slightly slower in maxed out gaming compared to the 4670k. but if saving $50-80 by getting the 8350 nets you a higher tier graphics card, then that would be the way to go for gaming.

Piledriver does poorly?? What...?

8350rocks · Oct 17, 2013

hafijur :

No, we've been through this before, you will save about $3-4 per year.

Stop lying through your teeth...

nikoli707 · Oct 17, 2013

yes at the same clocks, but all 8350's will do 5.0ghz with a simple hyper 212, the 4670k doesn't seem to like to go past 4.5ghz before a simple hyper 212 just doesn't cut it. a 5.0ghz 8350 will take a 4.5ghz 4670k on just about every heavy threaded application by about 10%

nikoli707 · Oct 17, 2013

i personally would get the $249 2500k+mobo+ram deal that micro center still has going, its by far the best bang for buck.

LOL...this is so far out of the realm of reality.

http://www.hardwareheaven.com/hardware-discussion-support/223736-intel-core-i7-4770k-loaded-biostar-z87x-3d-overclocking-share.html

4770k @ 4.5 GHz = 172W power consumption for CPU alone.

http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardware-canucks-reviews/62166-amd-fx-9590-review-piledriver-5ghz-17.html

FX 9590 @ 5.0 GHz = 249W

Difference = 77W

Where's your 250W difference? LOL...you lie through your teeth.

Gaidax · Oct 17, 2013

Look if you are on a budget - then AMD is the way to go really... Fanboys can grind their teeth to dust trying to bury each other in lies and deceit, but one thing is clear and undeniable here - AMD is a better value, as in you get more performance per dollar spent until about FX-8320 included.
