Intel Core i5 4670K  vs AMD FX 8350 

Disclaimer: The person who typed this was tired and possibly crazy. Don't expect any accuracy. You may be correct in the case of gaming. But AMD has allways had a better foot in the Workhorse proccesor market than Gaming. And this is another demonstration of its superiority per dollar on that front. I recently used this processor in the construction of a rendering and compiling machine for cad, coding, and video editing. This processor ecxelles on these fronts because of 8 Real cores with crazy ammounts of cache and stupid fast ram interface as default. Unfortunately (an i mean that, I actually like intel) Hyperthreading uses a shared int unit and cache. This works ok for things would normally offload to a GPU (Huh, wait, why wouldn't you do that and get better preformance?), but when doing serious number crunching the shared int unit and cache can only do so much. So hyperthreading in reality only adds a ~40% speed bonus in certian cases (I'm in a generous mood today. I actually remember it as 20%). Now I may have said AMD has actual 8 cores, but in reality that is a smidge of a lie. It's actually a divided core with two int units and something with the cache I can't remember, so they actually get a 100% speed bonus per physical core (not logical core obviously). Either that or I'm remembering a 16 core opeteron. Meh. Anyway, this 1866Mhz HyperX ram, and a gtx 760 are the backbone of the sucker. And it is stupid fast.

thats not how it works, not all applications are optimised for multicore usage, only video editing software and such, most games are optimised for max 4 cores, wel actually as far as i know all of them, for example BF3. non optimised applications will be better off with good singlecore performance rather than having too much cores

seems biased to me......

price to performance, you can't deny the fx-8350 that's for sure.

single core is much more important specially in games that i prefer Intel

I don't think single core performance matters as much as the full potential of a processor. The website should reflect the real world usage of the part. And not using 7 cores is just not real.

Hi James, thanks for checking out the site. Reviews are not taken into account in our score, just the components above. I think in this case its Intel's much better single-core benchmarks that put it in the lead. The results are calculated by the website, the same way every time, we certainly didn't bias it in any way on purpose. If you have feedback or think it could be improved just let us know!

Reviews: Word on the street = B.S, the 8350 got better reviews and better score,AND YET the intel has the better overall score. The i5 has a 8.0 and a 8.7. The 8350 has a 8.0 and a 9.5. For some reason intel win again. Cpuboss is a bias website

it's nothing more powerful than the i5 3570K only 5% performance is seen if u r currently using the 3rd gen i5 then no need to buy this i5 haswell chip because it need a newer Z87 mobo n doesn't support Z77 mobo. it's not worth the upgrade.

the 8350 is like a metaphorical i6 it seems.. Perfectly in between in between the i5 and i7 in terms of performance (closer to the i7 when overclocked). Seems to be perfect for gamers and beginnners for video editing/rendering, with the proper video card of course.

the core i5 4670K has AVX 2 and FMA 2 is not shown here why? in cpu z these r seen!!!!!!!
