Benchmarks Real world tests of Core i7 4770 vs FX 8350
Passmark
Core i7 4770 | by CRT (Jul, 2013)I have used PassMark's Performance Test to benchmark and maintain my personal machines since 2001 so I can provide some objective comparisons in addition to a thumb in the wind estimate...Using Performance Test v5 with the 4770 machine running 8 threads vs. 2 threads on my old 3.2GHz P4.
Passmark (Single Core)
Core i7 4770 | by Siggy (Aug, 2013)This is obviously not an OC version but it runs very cool for me even under long periods of major load (Arma 2, 3dMark, BF3, etc).
