What is AMD's new CPU and when is it being released? Core i3-4360 vs AMD equivalent

[Internet Swag]

Non-essential information in spoiler tags.

Hey guys, I'm going to tell you what I am trying to do and then you guys can tell me what is best.

 

 

I want to crossfire 7850's (or w/e other GPU can crossfire with a 7850). 

 

I currently have a i3 2120 3.3 ghz. 

 

 

I want to upgrade my CPU so that to not bottleneck these 2x7850's

 

Is there any information on when the next AMD chips are being released? 

Would an overclocked AMD Quad Core (assuming I use a 212 Hyper) be better at handling a crossfire 7850 setup than a single Haswell Refresh Core i3-4360 (3.7ghz)

 

Need info and advice here. 

[vitor_cut]

the fx 6300 or better, or a core i5 quad core or better, thats my recomendation, new amd cpu 2016

[Manny Calavera]

the new i3 is cool if the price isnt super high

 

because you could get 6300+cpu cooler and oc it

[shiftberry]

Haswell i3 processors are far better than FX 6 series processors when it comes to power consumption, quality product, better cooling even if with stock cooler and so on :lol:

 

i3 4360 SHOULD handle very well that GPU more than FX 6300 

[harrynowl]

I'd get i3 with H97 as you'll want 990FX for good Xfire experience with AMD.

[Vrbas]

Is this going to end up with another "why did you recommend me an i3 thread?"

 

Spend a few more dollars and get an i5. You will be very happy you did.

 

Or if you're on a budget go with the FX-8320 over the i3 any day. They are around the same price

[i_build_nanosuits]

i would pick the FX-6300 over the i3 beacuse of it's MUCH better multi-threaded performance unless you are a big MMO player OP.

[Faa]

I3's are enough for 2 7850's and in games it would bottleneck it will do better than a 6300.

[Sonefiler]

DO NOT LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE SAYING THE i3.

Last time these people recommended the i3, the guy came back saying that it sucked. Everyone in the thread agreed that the 8320 would have been the better choice

 

It's the same now. Get the 8320. It's far better than the i3 because nothing uses Hyper threading yet.

[Kamina]

i3 if you strictly play MMO games.

 

FX 6300 for multithreaded games, although it's like 15-20% faster if that's the case.

 

FX 8320 for just about everything from rendering, streaming, and games that make use of 4 or more cores, recommended at least 6 for optimal performance.

 

The next step up would be the i5 k variants.

1) IPC from 2008 - octacore performing as a quadcore - not even one game properly utilizing all of its cores -> doesn't make it the better cpu.

2) games do use HT

3) for the price of a 8320 you can get a locked i5 and a 8320 never ever made any sense yet over a 6300

Thats normal fps for both an i5 and a fx8320 4x MSAA.

 

Just look at this:

http://www.techspot.com/review/734-battlefield-4-benchmarks/

Although the game will utilize eight cores if you can spare them, there isn't a whole lot to gain from overclocking. Shifting from 2.5GHz to 4.5GHz with Intel and AMD chips yielded single-digit gains.

 

 

Also the OP has to tell which games he will be playing. so he can decide between an i5 unlocked or a fx 8320.

1. Except any AMD title

2. More games use HT than 8 cores? Pics or gtfo

3. FX-8320: $140 for a Octa-core 4.5GHz CPU on Newegg. Cheapest i5: i5-661: $167 for a Dual-core 3.33GHz H57 CPU on Amazon. Hmmm

[Faa]

That was an "i3". Those 8320's dont even manage to push the gpu to its max, when I could push each 780 to 50% meaning a single 780 @ 99%.

 

Also the OP has to tell which games he will be playing. so he can decide between an i5 unlocked or a fx 8320.

Agreed but for modern games he would be gpu limited mostly so it doesnt matter that much which cpu he gets. In case he ever would play a heavy multiplayer game thats lightthreaded, the i3 seems to be a much better overall cpu than a 6300.

1. The title name doesnt change its outdated IPC

2. You are asking for pics when I uploaded a video with 2 cores & HT sitting at 100%? 

3. And another 80$ for a board where as Intel boards cost 40$.

LGA1156 mobos still being sold: $95+, from unreliable companies like foxconn and biostar

AM3+ mobos being sold: $45+, from reliable companies such as Asus, MSI, ASRock and Gigabyte

 

You are saying that a Dual core LGA1156 i5 is better than an FX-8320.

[Faa]

omg im crying

You have kinda nothing left, instead of coming back arguing with me google how cores and better architectures and prices work

Nobody mentioned anything about nehalem, so I'm not sure how you're coming up with this.

You're still not making sense lol..  

[Sonefiler]

You're still not making sense lol..  

You're making less sense lol. You said that non-k i5's are the same price as the 8320. I proved you wrong. You said that Intel mobos are cheaper. I proved you wrong.

Again not.

lmao you do realize that the top one is more expensive still and the bottom one is still better than the top one LMAO

Since you're talking about cheap, let's compare the cheapest options for both sides, the i5's and the FX-8320.

You're essentially saving $90 for a better CPU, even when you get the cheapest option avaliable

[Sonefiler]

Lol I'm out, you're too stupid to follow your own discussion. You're the guy who brought nehalem up and funny thing is you took a board that doesnt have the vrm requirements for that cpu >.< Get real dude

Okay, suppose I get a $95 motherboard for the 8320 as well. You are still saving $30 for a better motherboard AND better CPU. I'm out too, I keep losing brain cells every time i think about you.

[Vrbas]

OP whatever you do, do not get an i3

[Ober1kenobi]

For what f****** Reason do people on this forum think that i3's can't even boot into windows or play some freaking minesweeper ? Get off that It's a dual core bandwagon and do some F***** Research

Once again and for hopefully the last time

Go Watch Austin Evans video on i3 vs i5 (4670k.. at clock speeds but we all know that equates to anyway)

The i3 even with a 780 could only NOT keep up with Metro Last Light,pretty much the MOST CPU INTENSIVE game their is.

(All 1080p ultra details)

"Oh but the i3''s shit" If you plan on getting ANYTHING less than a 780, the i3 is amazing

However... The i3 cannot stream for shit

hahaha metro last light the most CPU intensive game there is..

very funny...this game is only about graphics it's a classic shooter with nothing going on on the CPU side...it's a 100% GPU bound game...the i3 keep up with the i5 in anything that use 2 or 3 main heavy threads...as soon as the game start kicking some multi-core CPU optimization and require real stressful processing from the CPU like BF4 multiplayer, Crysis 3 or watch dogs for example than the i3 is trailing behind everything else except Pentium dual cores...
