Anything after Core 2 is faster than AMD FX by a long shot (gaming)

This CPU was 15 quid off ebay, total build cost below.

What you need to be looking at is the single thread performance since games love that. Also a note, Westmere-EP can handle a GTX 1070.


Here is where i got the original idea to go x58 from.


3Dmark Time spy. (lower CPU clock 4.4ghz is stable however)
Notice the CPU score.

Purely for gaming even my old Core 2 Quad Q9550 with a decent overclock on it (helped by a high FSB and some "special" Blade ULV RAM) wasn't far off the FX CPUs.
Click to expand...

I believe it, not hating on AMD, i'm hoping ZEN kicks absolute ass, just this will give people more option to recommend to those guys on a low budget... but x58 is a little complex with overclocking.
 
I did have a 2500K system way back, and this XEON edit's video much better than my 2500K did even at 5ghz, might be the HT doing it's thing, i use Sony Vegas.

Can also add effects with zero slowdown real time.

 
You oversimplified everything to twist it to your own agenda.

An i3 is faster than an FX in single thread if you leave it stock, overclocked well that's an unfair comparison since i3's beyond the first generation and Skylake cannot overclock.
 
I run dual channel 8GB Kingston Hyper X Fury Blue 1.5v kit 1600mhz @ 1686mhz 10-11-11 @ 1.6v

And i am using an ITX cooler to cool my CPU - which cost 15 quid. :D

3.06ghz i7 950 stock vs FX 8350 at 4.2ghz.

Yup very par indeed, over 50% faster in BF1 the i7 950 is, Over 50% faster the FX is not.
 
I am unsure if you got slapped up the side of your head before you came into this thread, but title... Plus i also mentioned X58's value for a person on a serious budget, also a very fun platform too. ;)
 
So buy AM2 quad core to be in the same bottleneck boat or worse as the AMD FX CPU?

What auctions are you going to? x58 boards in general do cost more than an AMD one, however the CPU cost is significantly lower.

And i agree yanks have a hard time understand us British folk, problem with Brits is knowing when they are wrong.

If you have good sense with your money and know what you are looking for, x58 is easy to shop for, it just takes a little patience.

Well i'm all ears and eyes mate, riddle me this. Your behaviour is highly defensive, you also point out i know nothing several times, and that i am now a yank.
You do not read anything posted correctly, then come up with a one liner.

Stay off that FX coolaid - as the "yanks" say.

ZEN is coming.
