Intel Core i7-3770K Features

The following information is courtesy of Intel

4 Cores, 8 Threads
Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0
Intel Hyper-Threading Technology
Supports LGA1155 socket Intel X77/Z68/P67 Express Chipset-based motherboards
Up to 8 MB Intel Smart Cache
2 channels of DDR3 1600 MHz
16 PCI Express Gen 3 Lanes
Intel® Advanced Vector Extensions (Intel® AVX)
Advanced Encryption Standard New Instructions (AES-NI) PCLMULQDQ Instruction
RDRAND instruction for random number generation

Pros:

+ Lower power than Sandy Bridge, although this isn't significant for desktop platforms
+ Faster and cheaper (if not by much) than Sandy Bridge CPUs
+ Intel HD4000 iGPU significantly faster than HD3000
+ Can be used in Z68-series motherboards (with vendor BIOS support)
+ Still the best performance in a mainstream consumer CPU

Cons:
- Still only 16 PCI-E lanes
- Early production stepping doesn't overclock as well as current Sandy Bridge

BEST FOR GAMING.



AMD FX-8350 Eight-Core Turbo Speed: 4.2 GHz

Description: Socket: AM3+, Clockspeed: 4.0 GHz, Turbo Speed: 4.2 GHz, No of Cores: 4 (2 logical cores per physical), Max TDP: 125 W
Other names: AMD FX(tm)-8350 Eight-Core Processor
CPU Launched: NA
CPUmark/$Price: 48.49 Overall Rank: 40
Last Price Change: $189.99 USD (2012-10-24)
Average CPU Mark 9212

AMD FX-8350 Features

The following information is courtesy of AMD

CPU base clock: 4.0GHz, Turbo clock 4.2GHz
L2 cache: 8M L3 cache: 8M
TDP: 125 watts
Native DDR3 1866 memory support (2 channels)
Advanced instructions: SSE3, SSE 4.1/4.2, AES, Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX), plus FMA4 and XOP
1 HyperTransport link, up to 5.2GT/s
Completely unlocked
For AMD 990-series chipset


Pros:

+ Eight cores and 5GHz on your desktop computer
+ Officially supports DDR3-1866 memory
+ Better performance than Intel on multithreaded tasks
+ An FX system has 38 usable PCI-E lanes as opposed to the 24 lanes of a Sandy Bridge system
+ Excellent price/performance ratio, finally competitive with Intel in the $200 CPU range, fastest in its range.
+An overclockers dream.

Cons:
- Single core performance still lags far behind Intel (more expensive models)
- Few programs use new FX instructions like fused multiply-add, so the full performance potential remains untapped.


BEST FOR 64Bit APPS, THAT UTILIZE ALL 8 CORES.

Thats it.

+ Eight cores and 5GHz on your desktop computer
Eight cores, 5GHz with lower performance compared to a 4-core counterpart only consumes more power without kicking in any more performance. Except for bragging rights of 8-cores, I don't see how it is a step up from the more efficient, better-performing Core i7-3770K.

+ Better performance than Intel on multithreaded tasks

The i7-3770K still runs faster in most circumstance which can utilise all 8 cores of AMD's FX8350. Well, the i7-3770K is priced at $300, while the FX8350 is at $200. That justifies. If you are comparing, have i5-3570K and FX8350 instead.

AMD,
+ Excellent price/performance ratio, finally competitive with Intel in the $200 CPU range, fastest in its range.

What sort of user are you (i.e. what will you be using your PC for)?

[stantheman123]

In gaming Intel ussally wins due to the better ipc/better per core performance.

 

[13thmonkey]

all in one - intel, because its cooler, AIO's will be more thermally limited than a std desktop.

13thmonkey - is that on the name of Bruce Willis awesome movie.

For an AIO build, they are both solid processors.

I have a i5 IB, and these days on this site, i have supported AMD so much, people might think i am advertising AMD, they hired me to do so, but the truth is i had a budget of 200$ but there was no Intel processor in that price range in my area or on internet (no 3470!) so i bought a 3450 instead. Usually, where i live temperature reaches around 45 Celsius, and AMD is not right for conditions here but a place like Minnesota, it's the best option or if you have an AC at your place.

 

[h2323]

you have to match up the 8350 with fast ram for it to shine

 

[mohammadzohoor]

sorry i think amd has an 8 physical core and 1 logical per it

All that benchmark are based on Floting Point Op., the AMD FX-series are designed for Integer Operations, Intel is designed for Floting Point Op.
