Please no fan-boy comments, they will be removed, I don't care which company you like better, pick the one that's best for my needs. So If you like Intel, but AMD is better, pick the AMD one, and vise-versa

 

[$hawn]

both will be fast enof, although the 3770K shud be better in single threaded stuff too

In the end u gotta decide if u want to have a fast enof system going AMD and save $230 , or have a slightly faster system and simultaneously have a 50W less peak power draw The electricity bill could justify the extra $230 if the system is on for long periods of time

Well The thing I like About AMDs system is that it has 8 actual cores, which means 8 cores running at 4.0GHZ when Boosted, and Intel has 4 cores/8 threads which means 4 cores will be running at 4.0GHZ and the 4 threads will be running at half speed. But Im not sure If that matters or is true

That may start an argument, but I'm not gonna do it, lol.

Im not sure If it matters, 4 cores-8 threads, or 8 cores, or does it even matter?

The 3770K will be better than a FX-8150, in pretty much everything.

I stand corrected. In EVERYTHING. http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/434?vs=551
