[Miniman005]

AMD FX 8350 or INTEL i5 4590

Hey guys I need your guys opinion on this choice. I also have a h60 cooler so just need opinion on the cpus

[007agentHP]

i5 4590 will perform better overall

4590 no questions asked.

[ciprian97pop]

am3+ is dead so get the i5

[HoiDaniel]

i5-4460 is better value

[Interfectorem]

Intel i5-4590 without a doubt.

am3+ is dead so get the i5

To be fair that i5 is also on a dead platform it just performs better.

8350 for budget core intensive things like streaming, rendering, multitasking like hell.(will also do well for gaming up to I say a GTX970/amd equivelent) The only downside is its on a dead platform so no upgrade path. Will have to replace your Mobo when you want more power. And the cores of the 8350 are alittle weaker, but it has more of them.

The i5 is a better choice for general tasks and gaming. Only downside is it has fewer cores, so things like game streaming or multitasking like hell it will have issues.

The i5, because GHz are lies.

End-of-life doesn't mean it's completely dead like AM3+. People are still running i5 2500K CPUs and they are far from dead.

i5, end of.

4590

Amd CPUs are shit for streaming, take it from someone who had one.

For gaming and normal day-to-day applications like web browsing, web design or streaming, get the i5-4690K. If the system is primarily for video editing and stuff you will probably get more out of the FX-8350.

Not really..

Yes it does. People still buy 8350s and 2500ks, but the fact of the matter is they're equally as dead. There's no discussion about it, I don't care if you have bias towards one or the other.

[hak4fun]

What one did you have? my 8320 would stream 720p, 60FPS well playing BF3 pretty well. Maybe a 5-10fps dip when streaming. I am quite sad I had to sell it.

Its not dead till its unusable! My P4 isn't dead. It is still a great doorstop.

And the newest in this case is the 4590.
