Some questions about multi-core and multi-thread...

[tahnik]

I have a questions.

Suppose suddenly every games became 8 core supported...which will perform better then?

Intel core i7 or Amd fx-8350?

Please answer geeks...

 

[Hagar]

......depends........

i7 - higher IPC 4 real cores and 4 virtual cores.

FX8350 - 8 real integer cores with shared floating point module 1 x 256bit per module or 1 x 128bit instruction per integer core.

.........largely on coding of the application threads, but the i7 will edge the 8350 at the moment at a price................

 

[tahnik]

So do you recommend buying an i7 instead of fx-8350?

I need a future proof pc,i mean i will use it for about 4 years...

Moving further up the i7 range the 3930K widens the gap. Six physical cores + six virtual with hyperthreading enabled.

AMD does have some interesting upcoming products though. Steamroller looks promising, and with their dominance in next-gen consoles things may begin to turn around for them.

Anyway, that's enough excitement for one day tahnik. Its time you went back to your colouring book and crayons. There's a good boy.
