hey luk a 5 year old amd fanboy yooo

I would pick the 4440 RIGHT now if i had too. Intel excels at single threaded performance such as gaming, however amd beats intel in Workstations or video editing. I'd say these are neck and neck

Better upgrade path, hyperthreading, still buying an intel

i5 WAS better at gaming prior the release of DirectX12. DX12 games can utilize multi-core threads and thus amd cpus showing 10-12 TIMES performance boost. And its also a matter of optimization. For examle Battlefield 4 was AMD-FX optimized, so an 8350 outruns EVERY intel CPU in its price-range in that game. Gaming industry changes, and single core performance will mean nothing in 1-2 years when DX12.1 come out.

I would love both :D, i need to make a choice though... I will probably go with the 8350 :)

Indeed. I hope that guy is just trolling, and doesn't seriously think that the FX is better. It's funny how they call this website Intel-biased whereas this comparison result May Haswell be AMD-biased.

Lol your mad! In gaming the i5 4440 is better, in having 100 tabs open in chrome, the fx is better. Single core performance just smashed you!

fx is da best and beats intel if you taking the i5 4440 you will be an idiot

Adil Hossain (07:49 PM, May 31, 2014)

More people being happier because of 'brand loyalty' doesn't make the i5 better nor the review biased in fact the people who say the i5 is better because of loyalty are biased, and you don't have to touch any settings, if you don't want to overclock you don't have to.

Jwow (08:22 PM, March 31, 2014)

I think this is biased and more people will be happier with the i5 due to brand loyalty and the fact you don't have to touch any settings and the Intel wins by default.
