AMD 8350 vs i7 4790K

Go to solution Solved by TorqueS,

You can't compare those CPUs.Okay you can as they are consumer flagships but other than that..

The i7 costs almost twice as the 8350. 

If you're on a budget, the 8350 would seem like a good idea. 

If you have the money for an i7 4790K, then by all means, go for it. It's superior to the FX in every aspect(multi-threaded performance, single-threaded performance, power consumption etc.)

 

I'm an AMD guy as well, but I can't deny the superiority of the 4790K.

Good luck with your new PC!

Both would last equally long, but the 4790k is a stronger CPU and therefore will compete with the future generations with less of a dip than the AMD option, in short it'd be relevent for longer. You still see people keeping up with the older i7-2500k CPUs even in what is soon to be 2015; you don't see as many people with few-year-old AMD CPUs keeping up. 

 

For Streaming, Minecraft and AAA titles, the i7 will offer the best performance, and the least bottle neck even over the greatest of GPUs; even in multi-GPU configurations.

I guess the 4790K is going to be a great CPU for my needs then :)

I know this might be a bit of a stupid question but what do you think my CPU percentage will be at if I was streaming gaming and recording at the same time?

AMD holds a deep place in my heart, but for literally almost everything the i7 4790K will simply destroy it

An i5 would too.

8350 is similar to 4690k or rather 3570k
