8320 vs 8350 vs 4670k

Go to solution Solved by D3MON,

What cpu should I choose for my new rig? I will use my PC for gaming and general work. 

 

In my country, the 8320 is 80 dollars cheaper than the 4670k and 50 dollars cheaper than the 8350. 

 

The 8320 is the sure pick right? However, I have a few questions: 

 

1) Will my gaming performance suffer(especially with CPU-bound games)? 

2) How high of an overclock would most 8320s reach? (First hand experience would be appreciated) 

sick of the playground fight over the last few pages (and dravic posting reviews of very old drivers doesnt help)

if your ONLY playing games like minecraft, skyrim, world of tanks and other games that are poorly threaded then get the i3, itll be about 10%faster (110fps instead of 100fps)

if your playing those games AND crysis, bf3, bf3, moh warfighter, gta4, gta5 and other mutithreaded games then get the fx8320, because those games use 4 cores (well you can run on 3 and bottleneck on 2) youll get more performance, on each of those games (ommiting gt5) im running around 75% cpu usage give or take...

bearing in mind piledriver is now on par and sometimes surpassing phenom youll have another 2 modules left for recording fraps or streaming at the same time, id pick an 8320 with a decent cooler (hyper 212 evo, be quit dark knight pro, GlacialTech Igloo H58 if itll fit [i really want 1! :(] over an 8350, i dont think theres much if any difference in the binning anymore..

also there is only a small amount of performance to be had from overclocking a cpu (unless your in those poorly threaded games) and practically nothing more to be had over 4.4ghz.

not much to be gained

http://www.techspot.com/review/458-battlefield-3-performance/page7.html

not much to be gained.

http://www.techspot.com/review/642-crysis-3-performance/page6.html

poorly optimised, likes fast speeds.

with those games like skyrim, minecraft etc i wouldnt worry anyway cus those games usually give you 214235 frames a second anyway/

:-) happy gaming. B)

aha, so i am throwing benchmarks that are somewhat reliable and show Intel is faster than AMD FX => not true

 

you throw 1 video over and over again (Tek Syndicate that is totally inaccurate video benchmark without even correctly made graphs that shows AMD FX is good => must be true

 

yea. makes sense.

 

I've already said that you are not correct by saying AMD is cheaper. it's not cheaper either.

 

- Motherboards are very expensive

- AMD CPUs draw much more power which leads to far higher bills.

 

I gave you guys already a challenge ones, nobody tried to answer me.

 

Give me a good, well working AMD fx 8320 or 8350 cpu + mobo + cooling pricelist (or you can decide to keep stock box cooler). Use pcpartpicker.com

That is actually an easy task and I personally have mentioned teksyndicate once you throw at a few benchmarks that are irrelevant also you mention the power draw way too often and it isn't going to affect the overall price much at all

Then go ahead and show me how much AMD 8-core CPU+MOBO+COOLER (you can decide to keep the CPU cooler from Box) costs.

 

And then say again it is 'cheap'.

 

Also I keep saying I AM NOT Intel fanboy. Even my title says that I fanboy somebody else.

 

I even purchased Phenom II x6 1045t last week.

So... If Jesus had the gold, would he buy himself out instead of waiting 3 days for the respawn?

What about Linus? LOL Haven't you watched his benchmarks with the 8350 and 3570k? The 4670k is like 5-10% better than 3570k. Linus' benchmarks show that they are more less the same but AMD is cheaper (mobos are cheaper as well) and AMD is better for streaming and video editing (also in future games are said to use more cores).

He didn't test any CPU-bound games. Any heavily scripted game will work better on i5/i7 Intel CPU unless the game is using more than 6 cores (if a game uses 6 cores, AMD CPUs are still slower or the same speed. They start winning at 7 & 8 cores).

 

I said Intel CPUs are approximately 50% faster than AMD FX 8320/8350 at the start of the thread, you can go and see that i did. See? Do you even know what approximately means?

So... If Jesus had the gold, would he buy himself out instead of waiting 3 days for the respawn?

I would go with the 8320 and try your luck overclocking it. Who knows? You might get a UNICORN 8320

Dude, he tested Crysis 3. I don't know what you are talking about.

And even if it is approximate, you're way off dude. Approximate means near to the actual number not miles away from it.

Yes, Crysis 3 is one of the few games that actually use multiple threads. I do not negate that FX 8320 is faster there thanks to 8 cores. But it's one of the very few games that use 7 or 8 cores. :)

He says he is not a fanboy however I can state otherwise. The thread I made near a week ago asking if I should go 8320 or 4670k for streaming and he gives me a whole load of Intel options saying that the 8350 is trash. Hell he even gave me an option of a Xeon which by the way are horrible for gaming. I am honestly quite tired of seeing his post.

You are not overclocking the CPUs here so you do not need more than stock fan. They will be faster at stock and MUCH more energy cost-friendly than your combo.

I would argue that because more software such as games and etc are become more multithreaded optimised, the 8320 is, in a sense, more futureproof than the 4670k. And don't forget that AMD CPUs beat Intel CPUs on integer based operations even if they suffer at floating point operations. And if said person ever decides to record/stream footage, the 8 cores should benefit him greatly

yes and that will not perform as well and most people are asking between the k series and fx series and want coolers if not they would go h87 anyway if you are really going to get desperate on price

But Xeon e3-1230v3 = i7 4770 without iGPU :)

 

v2 = 3770

 

LOL i7 is not made for gaming either. But these are the very same CPUs except e3-1230v3/v2 is called a bit differently. If you put them in the same socket on same mobo they will behave pretty much the same.

First, you can't overclock it. Second, Xeons are meant for server operations. Using them for gaming and maybe even video encoding is just a bad idea. Please... Just stop

Yaawn. Where did you see Intel CPUs getting beaten at 'integer based operations' by AMD cpus? lmao.

 

You mean the benchmark Kuzma claims to be the ultimate proof that integer based operations are faster on AMD platform? It's not because AMD is faster. It's because Intel had quad core vs 8 core.

 

Which is the same case like with everything, unless something is optimised to use 7 or more cores, intel will win. you can tell because FX-6300 got around same score as intel i5.

 

And why i7 is overkill when fx-8350 is 'futureproof'? You just said that THERE WILL BE MORE THAN QUAD CORES USED IN GAMING ZOMG OMG AAAWHHAHAHA WOOOAAAAAAA!!!!!!!

 

So i7 is as good as FX for 'future-proofing' in this matter.

Since when i7 is meant for server operations? Just get your facts straight, you are arguing that 4 cores + hyper threading is not equivalent of i7.

 

So what does make i7 being i7? I5 has quad core and everything i7 has, but i7 has hyper threading. That Xeon has everything i7 has, therefore i am free to call it i7 in my own vocabulary.

I almost forgot that i7 has 2MB l3 cache more (= 8mb) than i5. AND xeon e3-1230v3 has 8mb of l3 cache as well.

do you have any motherboard recommendations? originally i was going with the 4670k+ud3h combo but since the 8320 sounds like the best choice, i will have to change my plans

Yes, your best bet is an Asus M5A99FX board as it will have all the features you need or may want + it offers best-in-class overclocking results.

Second board I'd recommend is the Gigabyte 990FX UD3, you get 98% of the features on the Asus board + better aesthetics, the sacrifice is slightly lower RAM overclocking results & a slightly more out-dated BIOS layout.

If you're interested in a more budget friendly 970 based board, your best option is the Asus M5A97 R2.0.

Stop trying to sound smart while actually being a fool. I'm saying 8320/8350s can be deemed as slightly more futureproof as there are more and more program's are getting multithreaded optimised. i7 is overkill as an i5 performs almost, if not the same as the i7 in gaming.

On a side note, I am trying to converse with you in a civilised manner. I do not appreciate your barbaric manner of speaking
