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

 

Says it all.

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

 

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

Firstly, learn what a fucking core is. A bulldozer unit is a core. An FX-8*** has 4 Bulldozer Units. It is a QUAD CORE CPU, just like the 3770k with hyperthreading enabled. It is 8-thread, NOT 8-core. Additionally, an i3 or a sandy bridge i5 for the same money absolutely destroys it in games. I'm not an intel fanboy, I'm a fan of the Phenom series in fact. I'm just telling the truth, while some people here seem to be blinded by "MOAR CORES = FASTER!!!!!!!!".

but....then why does it show 8 cores in the CPU usage

And i never said it was the best, i was just saying what i had and that it was a good value(at my store)

but....then why does it show 8 cores in the CPU usage

[it is 8-thread

but....then why does it show 8 cores in the CPU usage

[it is 8-thread

"FX 8150 Black Edition 3.6GHz Eight-Core Socket AM3+ Boxed Processor"

So then why does it say 8 core all over the place......and nothing about 8 threads on the specs

Cut it open if you want, you'll find 4 cores. They're flat-out lying. AMD publicity has been quoted as saying they have the only 8-core CPUs on the market, when the Xeon E5-2470, which is a true 8-core CPU, has been out for months. They're a dying company desperate to stay afloat.

do note that amd's 'cores' are more complete than intel's

They're not, you'll find 4 modules with 2 cores in each module.

no.

yes, but that doesn't make them 2

no.

Yes.

no.

Yes.

 

But now AMD is going to have to hop off of its high horse because the Bulldozer module doesn’t incorporate two complete cores. Instead, it shares certain parts of what we’d expect to find as dedicated resources in a typical execution core, including instruction fetch and decode stages, floating-point units, and the L2 cache.

 

Each module has one floating-point scheduler. A BULLDOZER MODULE DOES NOT CONTAIN 2 CORES. PLEASE SHUT THE FUCK UP.

So according to the quote it does contain two cores, but they're not "complete".

You even defeated yourself there. An incomplete core is not a core. Please, go away, no have no idea what you're talking about and arguing with you is like arguing with a casual mac user.

If it's not a core then how can it be an incomplete core?

Then why are we calling it incomplete CORES? Should we just call them floppity floops instead?

 

"Bulldozer has 4 modules with 8 floppity floops, 2 floppity floops per module."

How does that sound?

Then why are we calling it incomplete CORES? Should we just call them floppity floops instead?

If I take your fucking idiotic head, sever it from your fucking idiotic body and saw it in half, do I have 2 fucking idiotic heads, or do I have 2 incomplete fucking idiotic heads?

No, then you would have a head sawn in half.

2 incomplete

or 2 floppity flop heads

wow this thread sure took a step in the amd direction.

I got no experience with amd, so I use intel and I use intel because i got the money.

 

mad amd?

 

also GPU wars, nvidia is better

as a genius once said:

MOAR COARS = MOAR PERFORMANCE. RIGHT?

 

but anyways, AMD processors suck shit, only get them if you don't have the money for Intel (Bulldozer line barely keeps up with i5)

AMD graphic cards have a better price-performance deal on their 7000 series, though
