What are your thoughts on this video? (AMD FX 8350 vs Intel 3570K vs 3770K vs 3820)

some one who again wants 10 mins on fame seeing himself on tv, er well utube rubbish, tbh utube shows what the poster wants you to see, see and read the comments and its plain to see you can show anything you like in one settings and then someone else will show you something else with another set of results, so you have to make your own mind up which set you want to go with.

for me most tests aren't a true test as they never show you everything and always seems to in the end say one system is better than another, to be fair, all have good points and bad, there isn't and never will be one system or chip even that is great for everything, once you understand and agree with that, then you make a judgement call on which way you go with what ever your doing and using your pc for.

enjoy what you have and don't listen too much to utube or any website which favors either intel or AMD.
 
You really shouldn't worry about this. The FX-8350 is good in some cases, the i7-3770K is always good, more efficient, and cooler.

BTW, his game selection and testing methods were pretty poor. GPU bottleneck anyone?

But yeah, streaming, I can see the FX-8350 could make sense over a 3570K.
 
Nah, 3570K all the way despite i'm still on a 965@4GHz, but if i was to upgrade in the next month or so, 3570K.

Edit: His game choices are also not great, Metro is more GPU intensive than CPU despite PhysX does run on the CPU if an Nvidia card is not present, but still, i expected some RTS or Battlefield: 3 in there.

This ^^^

If your using a lot of threads that FX-8350 is best, if not its the 3570K.

And for me personally, Intel's high end Motherboards make me gasp they are so expensive.

I got an Asus Sabertooth 990FX for £130 from here, Intel equivalent £180.

Yes of course you can go cheaper on the Intel Motherboards, and so you can on AMD Motherboards, But why compramise on a vital component just to get what is also a more expensive CPU where you might actually have been better off with the FX83##

Ive gamed on a bulldozer system and it played the games just as well as my 2500k pc using the same gpu. Also ive played all my games with my pc overclocked and at stock and couldnt tell a difference so i think oc'ing is not needed for everyday use even gaming.

Well how about these benches that seem to show that this cpu wont bottle neck the latest gpu's, even in quad fire!

FX 8350 with 4 x 7970's Vs i7 3960x with 4 x GT680's

Is it not worth keeping in mind that a lot of on-line benchmarks results we reference are from pre release CPU models sent out for the very purpose of review......look at the early i5 3750K that has a well documented case of later production runs using inferior thermal compound.

What they have done here seem fair to me....two production, off the shelf CPUs in real test conditions.

I see a lot of hate for this video, but not many independent benchmarks backing up the intel fanboi rants!

(That said, i think Im picking a i5 3750K over the FX for my next build ;P)

There's something severely wrong with these results.

Take for example their Crysis Warhead test:

3570K - 26fps
3770K - 38fps

They're virtually the same chip and hyperthreading won't give a 50% boost, then they say 3820 which is a near identical CPU to 3770K gets only 26fps as well. It's a similar story with Metro 2033 and Trine 2.

The reason most people recommend 3570K is because in 99% of reviews it's the faster CPU for gaming, this video with its inconsistencies is about the only source showing otherwise.

Heres my 3960x running 2 x GTX 690s quad sli using the same Heaven settings.

I think there is something not quite right with the comparrison you posted

HD 7970s are supposed to murder GTX 680/90s on this benchmark (I have not even bothered to use my benching drivers or run the cards flat out.)

Also this benchmark is well known as not being very stressful on CPUs, as you can see some of my CPU cores are not doing a lot.
