AMD A10-6800K vs Intel Core i5-4690K

[Dazza_the_Dragon]

Could someone explain to me why the AMD has 4.1GHz to the Intel Core i5-4690k? Why is the intel so much more for less performance?

This was posted just to prove a point to a stubborn friend. We were comparing builds I told him the A10 was a bad idea this is my build.

Really?

Tell me this is sarcasm...

Edit : Check Linus channel and you will see what is actually what is the right answer

Clockspeeds mean shit.

 

The 4690K beats the living shit out of the 6800K in terms of performance. The i5 performs more in line with an FX 8350.

[DoubleY]

i5 will poopoo over the A10. 

 

What graphics card would you be paring with either CPU? (if one at all) 

[Enderman]

The i5 is a bajillion times better than that A10.......

Well sir you have come to the right place.

 

You see, AMD has more cores, which means the GiggaHurts are more lowly distributed across the processor.  The i5 only has 4 cores so all of the giggahurts are only spread across 4 cores, making the cores more powerful.

and by what means was this comparo brought up by?

by a lot of the benchmarks the A10 fell short on a lot of important benchmarks.

we'd hope that you just are not comparing the actual clock speeds and considering

that to be the "winning" factor.

you do know that the A10 is a quad-core, too?

I was being so serious of course I took that into account!

[asusfan]

not always speed that wins it over, think of it like a F1 engine vs a Nascar cup car engine, the F1 engine is high reving but low torque and the Nascar cup car engine is lower revs but more torque as its a big V8.

 

both will go like stink but one has abit more pulling power.

AMD

Intel

 

Make sense?
