How about an 8320 vs a 4570?
I can get an AMD board for free while I'll need to buy a Intel board if I go intel. So going AMD is gonna be cheaper too.
The 8350 compares in some applications, but the single threading in the i5 out peforms the 8350 almost 2 to 1. If an application takes advantage of all 8 cores, it's comparable. If it only uses 4 cores, the i5 is quicker.
The 8350 does have some advantages in running multiple programs. I find it switches between programs rather quickly, since the work loads are balance more.
Power consumption and benchmark performance wise, the i5 wins. The 8320 will give good performance for less money.
