best amd cpu

je4444 · Feb 3, 2014

I'm looking for the best amd cpu for my needs. Ill be doing some gaming but will have a gpu and nothing super intense just enough to beat the ps4 and Xbox one. It will go through a lot of everyday tasks but won't multitask to much.

The best amd cpu currently is the fx 9370 I believe. Although after just switching from the fx series to intel. I would highly reccomend a intel processor isntead.

neieus · Feb 3, 2014

You really shouldn't consider the 9xxx series CPU's but look at the 8320/8350. If thebadkarma's system specs are correct and went from a AMD A8-6600K 3.9ghz to an Intel theen yeah you're going to see a massive difference because that CPU isn't exactly a gaming CPU. Go Intel or stay AMD... whichever your preference is but there's your answer.

What is your budget for this?

The intel route offers more sheer performance, however it costs much more.
AMD is budget oriented.

if u were previously own a AMD cpu using the same socket as fx9370 then u are set with that. but if u are looking for a fresh new start, i suggest go for i5-4670K for pure gaming experience instead of AMD. it is better and priced decently. for ur reference, PS4 implement amd gpu on par to HD78xx series (probably 7850) and XB1 implement gpu on par with HD76xx series (prolly 7670) so if u want to beat it just enough then ur gpu should be r9-270X, or nvidia gtx 760, and up. spec wise u'll beat those consoles in any games u can find, but sometimes games are optimized differently and may look better on those consoles than PC just like the newly remade Tom Raider definitive edition. But overall, with those spec I mentioned u'll be dominating those consoles.

I'd like to point out that not every board can support the 93xx series so please keep that in mind which ever way you go with all this.

if u want to stay with amd, yes it is better to look for the fx-8xxx series, but 8350 is a ripped off seeing that u can achieve its performance with 8320 with a simple oc-ing. 8350 is sold for more bucks but share the same cache and architecture as the 8320, so it is a rip off. but considering on my previous post, intel will do nicely since it is more powerful. and i have to disagree to those saying intel is priced more expensive. u just have to pay more bucks at the beginning. considering amd fx-83xx series TDP, u'll have to pay more on ur electricity bill than using intel solution. Intel procie run on lower power and better efficient. So in the long term, as u would use it for everyday task anyway, means that it will be on almost everyday, by using Intel u are saving on ur electricity bill and thus find urself spend less money in total. People tend to forget this small monthly cost and that's way amd cpu is cheaper because they can't make a good power efficient gaming procie with low TDP and high performance at the same time. this is what people always miss.

Except regardless of your processor power draw your powersupply STILL draws the same amount of energy from your wall socket.

Agreed with feroo. I went from amd a8 to amd fx 6350 to finally intel it 4670. Intel by far gave me the best performance. When I had the fx 6350 my fps was 150 max. And 70 minimum. With the intel chip its 250 max. 150 minimum.

Gam3r01 · Feb 3, 2014

thebadkarma :

Judging performance on the processor alone is pointless. The 6350 is isnt even in the same price range as the i5, so its pointless to compare those two as well.
Upgrading a CPU wont increase FPS by itself. The graphics card is the major component in performance (in fps).
While there is no debate that Intel can bet AMD processors, you pay for that privilege, which you may never use.

I am not looking for a total kick ass system that can destroy anything just something that's going to do what I need, won't break in a month, and is decently cheap.

Gam3r01 · Feb 3, 2014

If cheap is your goal AMD is the way to go. FX-8320/50 are great for a low price.

but it will not throttle to max wattage depending on the power consumption of each components. it will be different when ur system is idle or at full load. psu just give u the capacity to be able to give the power as stated in their spec but will not continually draw that much power when it is not needed.

yes that's why i already stated in my first post:

"if u were previously own a AMD cpu using the same socket as fx9370 then u are set with that. but if u are looking for a fresh new start, i suggest go for i5-4670K for pure gaming experience instead of AMD. it is better and priced decently. for ur reference, PS4 implement amd gpu on par to HD78xx series (probably 7850) and XB1 implement gpu on par with HD76xx series (prolly 7670) so if u want to beat it just enough then ur gpu should be r9-270X, or nvidia gtx 760, and up. spec wise u'll beat those consoles in any games u can find, but sometimes games are optimized differently and may look better on those consoles than PC just like the newly remade Tom Raider definitive edition. But overall, with those spec I mentioned u'll be dominating those consoles."

see that i recommend him better gpu compared to those consoles? and the choice of using both platform, intel and amd. he just need to use the reference on PS4 and XB1 that i mentioned then use it to build a decent rig that overpower them. i already give a solution to his needs.

That reply was not directed at you.

Sorry OP but you sound stupid. Why are you comparing a PC to current gen consoles. One fact is your PC may beat a PS4 or Xbox One but in 2-3 years your PC won't be able to run the latest games at 1080p while the console developers will be so familiar with the hardware it will be possible like with GTA V. If you want to beat PS4/Xbone with AMD get a FX 8350, R9 290X/GTX 780TI, 990FX Motherboard

lol yea, but since i also discuss about cpu and even compared the TDP of the cpu that's why i tho i was directed too.lol but yea, that's it

Roxas_Boy :

Its not really that odd of a question. Hes looking for a PC that has better hardware than a console so he can play games better than it right now. While consoles have longer life lines, they do so with optimization and dialed down settings.

I am compairing them because that is whats current in the gaming market. I am not looking to have max setting at 1080p for 10 years that's simply ridiculous no matter what you have. When my cpu and gpu get so out dated they can hardly run games then I simply upgrade them to what's current isn't that the point of a pc?
