Which processor?

[brad_C]

AMD FX-8350 Vishera 8 Core 4.0GHz or Intel i5 3570k 3.40GHz ?

Which one will produce a better performance? such as in gaming, photo editing and watching movies etc.

 

[brad_C]

Which programs do you do photo editing with? Do they support multi-threaded CPU's.

I use Adobe suite.

Hmm my friends keep on telling go for the AMD, cant make my mind up.

 

[brad_C]

The 3570k would be a better choice..

Though the 8350 is still a good chip..

Hmm! is there a huge difference between these two chips ?

Dunno which one i would benefit more for long term.

 

[brad_C]

To be honest I probably be using my computer more in photo editing and watching movies. Probably get into a lot of gaming in the summer when i have finished university.

Games only use 4 cores don't they?

 

[brad_C]

Probably a stupid question, whats the point in having 8 cores then ?

 

[brad_C]

the 8350 beats the i7 3 times out of 4 in them screenshots... lol.

 

[brad_C]

Doesn't?
It's lower is better. It wins once, and by a second (Arguably if you ran that more than once you could get the opposite result, a second either side lol,)

Oh jees what a dumb ass lol My bad

 

[brad_C]

Got a bit over excited.

Hahah yeah

 

[brad_C]

Hmm still cant decide haha but have notice the i5 is better than the 8350 in comparison charts of games.
