For the massive price difference what is the honest difference between these 2 CPU's is it massively noticeable because i definitely think the extra £££ will be noticeable but to be fair if its not a MASSIVE amount of performance difference I couldn't care less lols i only do standard browsing and then obviously a slight bit of gaming including:
Day-Z / Counter Strike / Lineage 2 **** like that so dont think it will be too intensive especially on a new system as my old system could handle these and my old systems baddd.

You are comparing wrong CPU`s... 8350 is a 3570K match... by far not 3930k...

Thats like comparing Ferrari with Ford Ka...

This. There's no AMD equivalent for the LGA 2011 CPUs.

Anyway, for things like gaming, the i5-3570K is the one to go for due to its better IPC compared to the FX-8350. In most games the extra cores on the FX will do nothing, and for your games, the i5 will be the better choice.

For multithreaded stuff like video encoding though, the 8350 has the upper hand.
 
Ford KAs are pretty good :)

I think it mainly cones to this.

8350: better for rendering.

3570K: better for gaming.

I did see someone post a thread about how the 8350 is better than the 3570K at lesser resolutions.

But for 1080p gaming, im sure its worth stretching for a 3570k

I would like to add that although the i5k is definably the better choice, the AMD still does a great job.

I've only recently started playing BF3 on my rig (in sig) and I'm overwhelmed at how awesome it looks on my FX6100 running Ultra. Doesn't drop below 40/45fps, no lag/ghosting what so ever.

I appreciate it's just one game that uses multi-core technology, but the results have been fantastic.

I will be building a Intel rig once Haswell has been released, as like most people know, Intel is the better choice & value for money.

dayz pick the intel in arma games the intel cpus are a lot faster and arma 3 is the same ;)

10-15 fps difference between the 8350 and i3570k in arma based games

gaming pick intel i3570k
video editing on budget pick the amd 8350

While it is true that the i5 will be ahead in most games, arma 2 actually performs better on the fx 8350 by quiet a bit, atleast if you are suppose to believe the razethew0rld benchmark

ARMA 2 engine isn't heavily threaded, I don't buy for a second it's going to perform better on the FX8350, lower core for core performance giving better results when only limited cores are being used? Not on your life time.
I think it can use upto about 4ish cores?
 
Go for fx,8350 and save yer money... i own fx8350 for 149.99 in special offer that good to grab also next 3rd gen due in 2014 still support for am3+ that would make u lots save money by keep motherboard and buy new 3rd gen am3+ cpu as intel make u spend awful a lots of money by buy new motherboard and cou as haswell/broadwell will be 1150 as 1155 is near end of line... so that up to u to buy which one.. im much hapoy with fx8350 that great run on asus cfv

It's not really saving money when the set ups cost the same amount of money, bar about 10-15 quid on the CPU.

It's more picking the CPU to suit your usage.

And it's not really saving money going for SR if a 3570k will last just as long (Which is an unknown right now) People are far too willing to throw money at AMD calling it money saved.

EDIT : Would you call it money saved that a set up you've bought in Q4 2012 cost you around the same amount of money as an i5 2500k set up in Q1 2011 did, but your FX8350 set up isn't as good in games.

I don't see how it is saving money when someone have buy another CPU next gen to "may be" match the gaming performance of current gen Intel.

Also, nothing is written in stone that AMD's next gen CPU would still be AM3+ socket.

Also as pointed out already...the AMD CPU is hardly cheaper, when it is around no more than £20 lower in price.

No the fx8350 in my games seem good as it run pretty nicely, my pd i built are asus cfv,
Amd fx 8350 wi4h venus 12 heatsink, 8gb ddr3 2133mhz, 2 of samsung f3 1tb, t/take 1000w psu and asus amd hd6970 card and plugged to samsung 46" led tv via hdmi cable.. great run all way as i used play big fish games hidden object... i mentioned that it up to u to buy which one for yourself..
 
Would like to see a 8350 alongside a 3570 gaming in the flesh, i doubt anyone could tell the difference but its not all about games just depends on what the pc gets used for, i do a bit of video editing so wouldnt mind having a play about with a fx 8350

Then you are just putting your personal preference before addressing OP's usage.

A i5 3570K WILL give VERY noticable better performance in those games OP mentioned (particularly Day-Z and mmo like Lineage 2), comparing to the FX-8350 with more than 50% of their cores doing nothing as the games not making use of them.
 
old gamer said:
Well looking at the ops usage ie counter strike and a bit of web browsing, would a 3570 or fx 8350 be a bit overkill any way

So you are now reading OP's post as CS is all he play and dismissing the two games that he's playing that are CPU demanding (and don't take advantage of more than 4 cores)? Arguing for arguing's sake ain't doing the OP any favor.

When giving people advise, you need to take step back and forget about personal preference, read what the OP's using the PC for, and give him advise accordingly and objectively. Unlike you, video encoding performance is irrelevant to OP here, since he didn't say he's using the PC for encoding, but for general web-browsing and gaming only.

done with 8320 and 8350 yet nobody listens :rolleyes:

im gaming as we speak with them lol

the i3570k is faster in gaming and most things but video editing 8350 is slightly faster in some editing software.

the price is about 20 quid difference so if you gaming just get intel if editing and want to save 20 quid get the amd 8350

in cpu intense games intel kills the amd sorry it does in skyrim it can be as high as double framerate witnessed myself and in arma its avg ten to 15 fps difference same gpu same settings.
