I've had a intel processor for 4 year now, I need a new one and I'm considering AMD. If an AMD processor can last for 4 years I'll most likely buy that. Just looking at the specs and the pricing of AMD just makes me want to buy one.


Thanks :)
 
Solution
in that case 8320 is for those. with its 8core and more threads you will able to run alot of applications at not a very high cpu usage it will go great.

I have built AMD systems for peple that are still running 6, 7 and 8 years later. I have never had a CPU (AMD or Intel) up and die on me. Though I have killed few by my own stupid actions :)

Anything and everything, I don't need a 8 core CPU in reality. 4 cores are more than enough without hyper threading. A 4670k would be perfect for me if I wanted intel. So the equivalent AMD CPU of a 4670k is basically what I need.

If you still want a concrete answer:

- some gaming
- VM servers hosting (yes I will be buying lots of RAM)
- just computer projects like setting up servers, home automation, stuff like that :)

The xeon E3-1230 v3, should be efficient.
If you are looking for more power, you will be looking at Intel extreme processors.

EDIT: Why aren't you running as root? Damn sudo

Nothing will hold forever.
 


Split hairs much?

C'mon now, how can you not be impressed by and K6-2 that is still in service after 13 years!

Probably...if I wasn't so bad at math...lol!
