FX question about 8350
Go to solution
Solved by Hieb,
What about instead of stretching all the way to the 4790K you stretch just to an i5-4690K or even an i5-4590 if you don't plan to overclock? The i5 will typically perform much better in games and provide more consistent performance. In parallel workloads like video encoding the FX-8350 and i5-4690K are about even, one better than the other by a small margin depending on the application and codec used... but the i5 will probably provide more responsive editing and perform better at times in things like 3D modelling since not every task scales over numerous threads.
I mean if you're gonna be getting an i7-5820K/5930K down the road anyways then it's not a huge deal, but for games and MMOs ESPECIALLY the Intel i5 will be much better.
