Intel Core i7 6700K  vs AMD FX 8350 

Hahahahaha I always say that Intel is like an iPhone in CPUs. true!

Undervolt it. That's what I always do unless your overclocking of course.

True in my case.. Had the 8350 for a while and just ordered a prebuilt from cyberpower with no holding back because.... i now have money :D GTX1080 and I7 6700k incoming

8.79 GHz water cooled, srsly? YMMV, but I've been underwhelmed with the 8350's water cooled overclocking abilities. Mine is not stable using factory settings for air-cooled and it's water cooled.

I just came from several other CPU bench sites, as I never view just one search result...The Internet's a big place after all!

merica

It's the same in bois also don't matter the program speed fan, core temp, AIDA 64 all the same tamps or 1 to 2 degrees off

This is wrong temperatures, try a different program Please

I agree with with you 100%

In what country do you live ?

No, not a typo http://valid.x86.fr/lpza4n

No, it's NOT true, which is why I replied.

You know it's true, that's why you replied.

I've got a Hyper 212 Evo on my FX-8350. Even when maxed out for BOINC or when running games, it never climbs above 50 C. I won't dispute that the Core i7 (such as the Skylake and nearly all of the i7's from the last two years) is a better CPU. But the FX-8350 came out nearly three years before the 6700K and is still good by comparison (I think Passmark shows it at 80% of the 6700K).

That's not true at all. My last system I built was with an FX-8350, and I was prepared to drop a bundle. The AMD route gave me the motherboard I wanted (Asus Sabertooth 990FX Gen 3 Rev 2.0) and a solid performer. As far as performance per dollar, the FX-8350 is still a good performer. I would only recommend the Skylake route over it because it's newer and there's probably more longevity in that newer socket.

"Overclock Speed (water) - 8.79GHz" - Typo???

think you need a better case setup and some fan's cuz mine never above 35C while gaming

But, you know, AMD stuff kinda likes to overheat a lot. Especially if you live in Australia... I'm upgrading from AMD to Intel for that reason. Don't get me wrong, the FX-8350 is a good CPU, as a matter of fact I've had one for a while now, but it tends to enjoy getting around 40-50c while idle, and up in the 70s when gaming.

Yes, I don't believe CPUBoss anymore.

The graphs are inconsistent. The performance graph lists 4790k on this page as 7.7 score, yet has it at 9.4 on the dedicated 4790k page. Additionally, the graphs show 4790k as superior to the 6700k, when raw benchmarks elsewhere clearly show that the processors are fairly neck-and-neck, with the 6700k edging out the 4790k by 4-8%. These issues alone make me now question the results reported by CPUBoss, which sucks...

If you have money, you buy Intel. If you are poor, you buy AMD. It's simple.

Yea I'd rather wait for AMD Zen architecture than give money for an overly expensive CPU from Intel, I wouldn't buy the 6700k unless I got a 50% off deal or something.

Been with amd for 8 years just changed my fx8320e and got an i7 6700k and I can see its a lot better in gaming with doing the same tests with gtx970 I get about 80% boost in everything only upgraded because got an amazing deal on cpu, would recommend people to get i7 or hold out for amds new cpus as fx are good but they have no ddr4 or pci3 so other parts of pc do suffer

over all the AMD FX 8350 is better this is mostly rating useless things such as intergrated graphics, intel intergrated graphics are worthless, if you are a serious gamer and want more bang for your buck and better overclock speeds AMD is the way to go, all the way. Intel is like apple its fun to say you own one but its kind of worthless.

yes, they will work, especially if you get the asus z170 p - d3
