Would the next gen games take the advantage of having many threads or cores? Cause I'm little worried, especially this is my first time to build a rig and I want it to be future proof.
We all know the AMD's product are much cheaper than the Intel, but right now Intel's ahead over AMD (my opinion) even AMD have these cpu that have 6-8 cores .So I would like to know if I'm still gonna settle for an i5-3xxx or settle for a fx6-8? My budget for a cpu is $200 more or less. And I'll appreciate if anyone could explain me further about having an 8core:8threads(AMD FX 8xxx) and a 4core:4threads (i5-3xxx), which of the two is better?
And one more thing, power consumption is a big deal for me
P.S. Ill use it for gaming. Ill only do 720p
