I'm getting new PC soon, so I wonder wich one is better. I know Intel is better for gaming, but I don't shit money.

well....since you dont shit money id say AMD.

 

i bought a 3.4ghz eight core amd for...i think $150?

AMD is nice enough imho, plus it's a fuckton cheaper last time I checked.

8 Cores for $150?

Yeah, if you're going for an AMD that's possible, seriously

Can't get it here for that money. Quad Core costs $200.

Quick look tells me AMD FX-8350 is ~170 euros around here, that's supposed to be an 8-core.

ok i was off by about $20. but this is the one i got

AMD FX-8350 is like 230€, but I found AMD FX X6 6100, 3300 MHz for 120€. What about that?

I'm planning to buy a quadcore which is from AMD.

Price ? 75€, nice for a quadcore.

That processor is awesome, for that money I would bought it. Here costs $87 more.

that one looks pretty good to me. sucks that processors cost so much more where you are :|

But 8 Cores do you even know how much that means to me? Like it's NASA's processor.

buy what your money can handle.

but what if it can 'handle' both intel and mad

i bought a 3.4ghz eight core amd for...i think $150?

But doesnt it take like loads of power?

I haven't tought of that.

Yeah, NOPE.

Intel quad cores can beat it.

That is still big for me.

Just buy an Intel quad core and you're good for a few years. By the time additional 4 cores in those AMDs can be fully used in games, the architecture is gonna be old anyway. Same thibg happened to s775 quad cores, dual cpres of that tines were a lot faster in games, and only few games could use theor full power, untill games started using quad cores there were new sockets and s775 was outdated.

Just get the cheapest i5 2xxx/3xxx.

What if he wants to overclock? What if he both wants to overclock and wants VT-d?

 

Yeah, NOPE.

Intel quad cores can beat it.

That depends on the task.

The difference between an i5 3570k and FX-8350 on load is about 100W.

Yeah, NOPE.

Intel quad cores can beat it.

That depends on the task.

 

I agree, but my assumption was that he will use it primarily for gaming. Dunno, let's just wait and see what OP needs it for.

OMG 8 CORES

IT MUST BE SO POWERFUL

Just get the cheapest i5 2xxx/3xxx.

What if he wants to overclock? What if he both wants to overclock and wants VT-d?

 

He stated that Intel costs more, so why not get the cheap ones?

 

Also overclocking would be out of question here then, you would also be dependent of Motherboard, cooler and the unlocked chips. (which are pricey)

i bought a 3.6ghz eight core amd for...i think $150?

But doesnt it take like loads of power?

i guess it does take a good amount of power (on the site it only says 0.9375V - 1.4125V)

never really thought about it since i have a 750W psu

 

the reason i got one is cause im starting to do some animation stuff for college (i needed a new one anyway)

Hmm I have an AMD and I have had no issues with it. It runs most games pretty smoothly.
