So I'm currently using the Bulldozer FX-4 4170 @4.2ghz
But I'm installing water cooling in 2 weeks to make the system quieter and I thought I might aswell upgrade the CPU in the process...
But which is better the Bulldozer or the Piledriver?
The bulldozer fx-8 8150 @3.6ghz
Or
The Piledriver fx-8 8350 @4.0ghz
Or is there an even better AMD chip?
The Piledriver has a faster clock speed so naturally I'm leaning more towards that but I heard that clock speeds don't really matter anymore it's more about the multi threading... Or is that just wit Intel? And I will be over clocking once the water collier is installed anyway.
I know neither of these are much of an improvement to the chip I already have but there the best AMD's I could find... And It really must be AMD as I recently bought a £200 AMD Moterboard and to go out and buy the Intel equivalent aswell as an Intel chip is just too much.
I use the computer for gameing (World of Warcraft, Skyrim etc)
And I also do A LOT of data transfer a couple of hundred gig a day.... And constantly unzipping and compression large files....
I'm looking for something suitable that will allow me to watch video files whilst unzipping at the fastest possible speeds without lagging the video files as my old computer used to do...
Thank You

I will look into Steamroller and keep an eye out for the release date
