Final decision fx-8350 vs i5-4570

Tommynew · Jun 11, 2014

Mainstream question i know, but i cant decide between them.
I have read many topics in the forum, but still i havent decided.
Will 8350 become better option when games start to use 8 cores? Or will 4570 still outperform 8350?.
In addition, i need a cheap mobo.
Thank you again.

Tommynew :

When game start getting optimized for multi-core usage, 8350 will be better than 4570.
Otherwise currently 4570 is better choice for gaming, since its better performance per single core.

By the time you actually need an 8 core CPU, the FX will be more behind than it already is. Go with the i5.

logainofhades :

exactly.

Tommynew · Jun 12, 2014

So 8350 will be worse even when games use 8 cores?
4570 could deal with 8 core games?
Also, will you suggest me a cheap mobo for the intel please?
Thank you.

I would recommend this board for Broadwell support next year.

If that is not a concern for you, then this is the cheap board you are looking for.

That h97 supports multiple gpu?

logainofhades · Jun 12, 2014

Multiple GPU board will cost more. You would need this at minimum.

GIGABYTE GA-Z97X-SLI LGA 1150 Intel Z97 $130 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128714

this one comes with a free gaming mouse^ and if you ever want to get a K model and like 2133mhz ram you can overclock well on it.

Whats wrong with b85 chipset?

iron8orn · Jun 12, 2014

nothing really just, a z97 would give you all the latest cpu support and even the Xeon business class would be best matched with its stunning architecture.

logainofhades · Jun 12, 2014

Nothing wrong with it, no Broadwell support, no raid support, and no dual gpu support.

Tommynew · Jun 12, 2014

And what is the "special feature" of chipset 85.
I understand tha 81 is the basic and cheaper.
87 has more features and more expensive.
97 is the new chipset with broadwell support.
But i dont understand what the 85 chipset has.

iron8orn · Jun 12, 2014

If you want to go budget gaming performance i would recommend the 8350 on a 990 mobo that has Crossfire support listed at the manufacturers website.

AMD is losing in power efficiency but multi-core performance is being utilized better in applications and gaming as every month goes by.

logainofhades · Jun 12, 2014

B85 is a business class chipset. It can support more ram than H81. Typically all B85 boards have a usb 3.0 header. Other than that, I cannot think of anything that makes it better than H81.

Tommynew · Jun 12, 2014

Ok thats all i think.
It depends on my savings i guess.
I thin ill go for the i5 because everybody recommend it.
Thank you everyone.
