amd a8 7600 vs intel g3220 vs intel g1610

GPU: since you are upgrading the Mobo, you'll most likely upgrade to a PCIe 3.0, your current card is 2.1 so it will be bottlenecked. On my Rig I got it the other way around: 3.0 PCIe card on a 2.0 Mobo with the same bottleneck effect. PCIe 3.0 is supposed to have double the speed in a x16 slot. With that aside the 750Ti gives much more output. Even with the PCIe 2.0 restriction I got my 750Ti to perform extremly well in games (with graphics set to max on many games and a steady 30-50 fps depending on which game). Numbers don't lie; the Radeon has GDDR3 while the Geforce has GDDR5. The 750Ti excel in all other aspects such as clock rate. But, I haven't tried the ati 6570 myself, so I rely mainly on bechmarks on the net.

CPU: Depending on what type of games you play the answer is different. If you seek latest video-games the more cores the better, hence A8 7600 is the one to pick (4 cores, while the other Intel you mentioned are dual). G3220 supports only ddr3 up to 1366 MHz, meanwhile A8 7600 supports up to 2133 (which is somewhat of excess for the current applications), and you need 1600 MHz for smooth expirence. the A8 has a total of 0.5MB more cache, AND it's all on L2: much better. A clear winner to me is the A8 7600. The performance thou doesn't differ much in single-core applications, mainly on multi-core.

Hope this feedback was what you were seeking. Building new rig depends ofc on your budget as well and in what part of the world you live in. So always keep an eye on local special offers and deals to help you decide on what to pick.

Hi, I own two computers.

The one at home, has a Pentium G3258, 4 gigabytes in RAM (1333 mhz) and a EVGA GTX 750 Ti FTW.
Just remember that the G3258 is faster than the G3220, not by a lot but just consider it.


And one at my job, has an AMD A8 7600, 8 gigabytes in RAM (2133 mhz) and no external Graphics card.

Both systems have Kingston V300 SSD.


Comparing both systems speeds in the very basic work like web surfing, Microsoft Office (Excel and Access), LibreOffice (calc) I can see a noticeable difference in loading speeds, like twice the speed on favor on the G3258 over the AMD, 1 second vs 2 seconds loading time, yep, the Intel is twice as fast as the AMD, but its a tiny second.

Do I care? No
Will you care? Don't know

Gaming, well, I have some games (mostly old) and I only have 2 games that I have in both of my systems:

War Thunder
Empire: Total War

In both games maps load faster with the intel processor, and sometimes the loading time differences are BIG, but during game I don't see (or feel) like neither of the processors bottleneck the games, especially in Empire Total War wich sometimes would be a little too CPU intensive in BIG battles, well CPU intensive for a 2009 game, so take this opinion with a grain of salt

The differences in graphics are big, the GTX 750 Ti FTW mops the floor with the A8 7600, but the AMD does a good job given its price, however you will not use the AMD's graphics, so this comparison is worthless.

There is a problem with the Intel processors of that price range, they are 2 cores, so, the latest games like GTA V and the Witcher III for example, won't run with the intel processor, meanwhile the A8 7600 will run them without much of a problem, remember, 2 vs 4 cores.


Power consumption.

The Intel (without the GTX 750 ti) in basic computing, web surfing, office work, HTPC averages 40 watts, and the AMDA8 7600 at 65w mode averages the 45w, only when booting the AMD model draws 95w during a couple of seconds, but I've never seen during my tests such energy draw even in gaming wich averages 80w. I was expecting a lot more power consumption in the AMD processor because I read some reviews about the AMD processor and scared me a little with 90w loading..

Hope this help

Good luck with your system, if you have questions about my experience using those processors I will be happy to answer, just, be patient, I not every day check this Forum
