AMD gets the advantage again in BioShock Infinite. Only 1280x720 is playable at this title’s Low quality preset, and we see a nice progression down from Trinity to Haswell to Ivy Bridge to Sandy Bridge. Core i7-4770K does a respectable job narrowing the gap, but Intel just isn’t there yet.

A10-5800K dips under 40 FPS a few times, but manages a nice smooth run through BioShock’s built-in benchmark utility. In comparison, the Core i7-4770K flirts with 30 FPS on and off.

The fastest contender, AMD’s A10-5800K, dips under 20 FPS at 1080p. Everything else is slower than that, rendering this setting mostly unplayable.

Trinity and Haswell both deliver fairly even pacing through this test, though A10-5800K turns in notably better numbers.

The A10 doesn’t achieve great frame rates, but AMD manages to maintain consistent frame delivery using its Catalyst 13.6 Beta driver.

You shouldn't ask here. Perhaps you should get an i7-4770k and a 7970(?) I heard that kepler cards does not perform that good in Maya and Aftereffects (In OpenCL).
EDIT:
other sites have reported much lower watts idle, so a lot doesn't make sense or the 4770k has a very slow throttle.

Of course not. No one should upgrade from Sandy or Ivy to this, unless you are the 1%.
2. Another thing i noticed, the FX8350 was a big total energy hog. That is one point AMD fanbois dont talk.
3. Chris , no specialized AVX2 softwares ? No AVX enabled Handbrake in tests ?
4. Would have liked to see some -/AVX2 compiled software in here. Maybe left for another "compiler tuning on Haswell piece" ?
Yeah, I agree with ya. Without competition there is no innovation. As for intel, "I am disappoint"
