| 1311297 | 2012-11-10 00:01:00 | if ur budget is a problem then get a lower grade intel and not feel like such a chump. Writing that I can only assume you know what it is like to be a chump. |

| 1311299 | 2012-11-10 00:14:00 | If you get the intel then in future you can upgrade to a better one... If you get the amd then you will have to upgrade to an amd. Anywas this cpu is realy only usefull for extreme overclockers that dont care about actual performance but instead the figures, its just not worth buying it when a oc 2600k will easily out perform it and this is suppose to be the cutting edge of amd tech. | Slankydudl (16687) | ||
| 1311300 | 2012-11-10 00:35:00 | I wouldn't be so sure about that if I was you. 8350 > 2600k in BF3. Every other game the CPU's are 5 or so frames either side of each other for both min and max frame rates. The exception to this is Civ 5 (and Sleeping dogs?) where the 2600k wins by 10+ fps. This shows that most games still only have 4 thread optimization. You see the 8350 beat the 2500k and 2600k in other benchmarks which do take advantage of CPU power. Such as Truecrypt AES and AIDA SHA. The 2600k obviously pulls ahead in anything single threaded (I think everyone knows by now that AMD can't make a cpu with decent single threaded performance to save themselves), but the 8350 can keep up with the 2600k basically everywhere else. Sure you might be getting slightly better performance in some areas like photoshop or whatever but where can I still buy one of those and when was it ever sold at a RRP of $199US? (granted all the stores selling the 8350 at that price in NZ had sold out when I last checked). I'm pretty sure the 2600k never dropped below $400NZ. If you buy a 8350 you have a CPU which you will be able to keep for a large period of time as even more programs start to take advantage of 4+ threads. IMO it's the cpu to buy if you are after a mid range CPU. | icow (15313) | ||
| 1311301 | 2012-11-10 00:41:00 | but the 2600k is the old generation of intel cpus and is more or less on par with the latest amd cpu.... | Slankydudl (16687) | ||
| 1311302 | 2012-11-10 00:48:00 | AMD for me all the way... costs less, works just as well for gaming because it's the graphics card that matters anyway. | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 1311303 | 2012-11-10 22:23:00 | but the 2600k is the old generation of intel cpus and is more or less on par with the latest amd cpu.... And this matter because? The 8350 can compete with the current gen midrange Intel cpus as well at a better price point. |

| 1311304 | 2012-11-10 22:42:00 | SO AMD's top of the line cpu can compete with mid range intel cpu's, that is not exactly a selling point. | Slankydudl (16687) | ||
| 1311305 | 2012-11-10 23:20:00 | SO AMD's top of the line cpu can compete with mid range intel cpu's, that is not exactly a selling point. It is when they're cheaper |
