Lets start with. my brother as an intel i5 2500k system that plays games fine, and i have a amd fx-6100 system that plays games fine. and we have both said that when using each others system in the real world and games we cant tell any defiance.
so why dose ever one always tell ppl to sell amd and buy intel ever time there is any questions asked.
ppl say it's future proofing, then intell change the socket all the time, would amd not be more future proof the last 3 chips all used am3+ socket.

with out all the fan boys fighting can anyone tell me what i should drop my current mother board and chip, buying intel? What is the one thing that will make me go WOW i must have intel, or is it just little things like extra 5 FPS in games.

Sorry if this starts a fight or if it already been asked
 
Certainly not worth selling your chip and rebuying an Intel CPU, but if you have a high budget which allows extra money to be spent on the CPU then Intel is usually better performing than it's AMD counterpart.

AMD definitely has the Price/Performance locked down with it's mid to high range processors and them perform very well for most tasks but for a system with extra, Intel CPU's can give extra

extra like what, you did the normal thing there and said if you have the cash buy intel but you didnt say why?
 
Wasn't multi-gpu setups the issues with AMD? As well as heavy AI games… Hence all the years of talk about better IPC.
 
No-one with any sense would tell someone to sell existing and current AMD kit for Intel. It makes no sense to do so, and I can't recall people here doing that.

And with that in mind no-one is going to tell you to 'drop your current motherboard and chip'

Intel chips are almost always quicker - that's the bottom line. Their single threaded performance is miles ahead of AMD, that is a simple fact. Whether that increase over AMD is worth the extra cash is something only you can decide.

Both AMD and Intel play games to an acceptable level - that is also fact, especially when paired with a good GPU. People with the funds and the desire for the best will buy the best.
 
AMD's not future proof, Intels socket 1366 is testament to that, they've lasted over 5 years and STILL going, no AMD chip can do that do the same extent.

You're also wrong about sockets, but there's always ignorance regarding AMD/Intel sockets, so I'll let it slip.

To see a performance difference depends entirely on the set up and games you're trying, anecdotal "We can't tell a difference" doesn't mean much.

Sorry, but people do tell people to do that, and there's lots of logic behind it.

You're being too broad.

Take Chimaloy, he had an FX83 with an R9 290X Crossfire, only people without sense wouldn't change that to an i7 rig (Selling up and upgrading) because he's gained a crap ton of performance from doing so.

Not correct at all. Piledriver is hugely clockable

Not black and white.
AMD's stock clocks are higher.

They're about equal to what they can achieve in end clock, and the percentage tends to go to Intel (Although that's lessened somewhat with Haswell)

To OP, there's tons of situations many people would consider an FX6100 just can't give good enough performance.

He's the exception rather than the rule though isn't he? And I think you knew that. I was being broad because the question was broad. I wasn't going to state individual cases but If you'd prefer me to be precise I will be.

No-one with any sense would tell someone to sell existing and current AMD kit for Intel, unless there is a big performance gain to be had. It makes no sense to do so, and I can't recall people here doing that

Happy?

I find the comparison pretty poor to be honest, for the simple fact the FX95's got no real overclocking headroom, whereas the 4770K does.

So, you're at about the limits of the performance you can get out of AMD, whereas the Intel still has 30% or so it can gain.

Interesting point. I think that boils down to the fact that Intel leave their chips at a reasonable clock out of the box (2.4-3.6ghz) whereas AMD basically clock chips to 90% or more of their max at the factory and release them so they can claim higher clock speeds as a marketing tactic
 
no point changing current setup unless you plan on xfire ect

if buying new id pick intel,purely because clock for clock they are faster,i havnt owned any amd chips so far so cant comment on those but till they bring out a chip that can beat intel ill stick with intel

plus they tend to need more voltage than intel cpu's
