Is this a good CPU for video editing?

I was looking at the 4770k when I found the AMD FX-8350 4.0GHz 8-Core Processor...

For a hundred dollars cheaper it seems like a spectacular deal. My only concern is are there going to be noticeable encoding and rendering times between the two?

CPUBoss assigns arbitrary values to random tests with no real statistics (other than their /10 system, which is odd), and comes up with a strange value at the end. IMO the site is garbage.

The disparity in performance depends on the task being conducted. In gaming (and games that use all of the cores) I'd say you're correct. However, in video editing and encoding the FX 8350 is very good esp with x264 and integer values, and can perform far better...

Keep in mind the fx 8350 is actually 4 physical cores and 8 " virtual cores ". Although it certainly helps, it isn't a TRUE 8 core. But it is certainly more affordable. But it's def running hotter at tdp of 125w compared to 85w for 4770k. In the end though, at least for me, I had to get the intel chip, knowing in the back of my head it was the better performer.

Did you get that backwards? The 8350 is comprised of 4 modules, each of which consist of 2 physical cores. They share resources, but are often criticised as not being true cores in the traditional sense but also arguably are actual physical cores. The 4770k on the other hand is 4 true cores and 8 virtual threads, no bones about it.

Haswell runs surprisingly hot in comparison to the FX chip. The 4770k is definitely the better performer though, the FX's per-core performance is poor in comparison to intels.

@OP Which tasks would you like to see benchmarks in?

Enter the chips you wish to compare here

But the rough comparison will be that the i5 and fx 8350 will be roughly similar in terms of performance, (fx has more but lower powered cores while the i5 has less higher powered cores) while the i7 should beat out both
