With my build i was planning on getting the 4670k then ran across an article about the 7700 and then noticed its out now. Is it worth it? I googled 4670k vs a10 7850 but nothing goes into to much detail

Is the 7850k the chip they were talking about that's better then the haswell? I havent used AMD in years and curious if i should go for this or not (All for gaming)

id also add im buying a gtx 780... so im guessing that makes it pointless since the big thing about it is the graphics?

Thanks!

The i5-4670k will outright destroy the A10-7850k in every single benchmark.

The only exception would be if you were going to rely solely on the integrated graphics core (iGPU) to play games. The A10-7850k's Radeon R7 iGPU is currently the most powerful integrated graphics core. However, it is only about 11% more powerful than Radeon HD 8650D / dedicated Radeon HD 6670 DDR3 graphics card. That means it is still slower than a Radeon HD 5670 DDR5 graphics card.


Since you plan on adding a GTX 780, then the iGPU performance is rather pointless.

The CPU core performance of AMD's new Kaveri APU has not really improved much over Richland APUs which has also not improved much over Trinity APUs. Below is an example of a game benchmark. Note...

The CPU core performance of AMD's new Kaveri APU has not really improved much over Richland APUs which has also not improved much over Trinity APUs. Below is an example of a game benchmark. Note that the i5-4670k is not included and neither is a Richland or Kaveri APU. The Trinity generation A10-5700 is part of the benchmarks. I assume a Richland APU is not in the review since the processing performance between Trinity and Richland generation APUs were more or less the same. The most power Trinity APU is the A10-5800k which is just 100MHz faster than the A10-5700. Not much difference.

Based on the chart below the CPU processing performance from a Trinity generation APU to a Kaveri generation APU would need to increase by about 83% to achieve the same performance of the prior generation Core i5-3570k. I think the processing performance increase from Trinity to Kaveri is about 8% or 9% at best.
