I understand that Intel beats AMD in almost every benchmark. But you can't really tell the difference between 70 fps or 100 fps, and both frame rates offer a good gaming experience.
However, I am looking for Length of Usage, as well as a good gaming experience - is the AMD 8 core better for this?
Because I think future games will support multi-core, will the FX-8120 give me more years of satisfactory gaming experience at a lower price?
Here is an example of what I'm talking about:
FX-8120 can run games at 50-70 fps......for the next 5 years. Because games will start to support multi-core in the future.
Whereas i7-2600K can run games now at 100 fps. But in 2 years, when games start to support multi-core, it will have equivalent or lower performance than the FX-8120, because it has less cores.
However, since the AMD system costs less than the Intel, I would have a longer satisfactory gaming experience, for less money.
Just a thought, wondering what you computer experts think, I am not a computer expert.
