AMD CPU's

[bhcool12]

Are there any AMD CPU's that are just as good as intels but at a lesser price?

No.

[shypin]

in most cases no

[TheSLSAMG]

Depends on the workload. For video editing, virtual machines and 3D rendering there is. For gaming and general use there isn't.

Athlon 860K is close to the G3258 or the i3

 

but that is all

 

 

what is the budget???

[Aytex]

860k i would say competes wtih pentium or i3 in some games

[FuriousGamer]

No please buy an intel all these newbs are building Amd cpu pc and its just sad

[don_svetlio]

Athlon x4 860K > Pentium G3258. That's about it

8350 beats an i5 4460 when all 8 cores are used though

I can only pray for that day to come. Still on my 8320 after 4 years.

The performance per core of AMD CPU's is typically lesser, that's why you'll see a i5 with four cores beating out a 8350 with eight cores. Your best off getting on the Intel platform regardless because you can always upgrade to something great if you get an i3 / Pentium. If you get an 4300 or 8350 it's not worth spending money to upgrade because the performance will be negligible.

1150 is a dead socket

8350 using all 8 cores at rendering, editing or streaming will actually surpass an i5 4460 - thing is - games usually use 4 cores or less.

AMD CPUS you mean, Trash?

-

Newbs? .. Your post deserves a ban in my opinion, for two reasons. Calling users "Newbs" for using a specific brand, secondly for using "Newbs" in a post. I sincerely hope you don't say "Newbs" in real life.

say that to the 1100T

1150 is not dead, 1151 just came out and while they're not producing new CPU's for it anymore it's still the smartest platform to go to till Skylake drops in price and so does DDR4 ram. i5's and i7's are absolute beasts, and 1150 is still king IMO- I don't think Skylake had enough performance increase for it to give a devastating blow to its predecessor.

Lol first of all a newb is another word for noob which means a person who is inexperienced in a particular sphere or activity, especially computing or the use of the Internet. So fyi that word explains someone perfectly buying a amd cpu.

I know they are good but 1150 is dead for the same reason AM3+ is dead - no new chips being produced. A technicality but still there

Lol first of all a newb is short for noob which means a person who is inexperienced in a particular sphere or activity, especially computing or the use of the Internet. So fyi that word explains someone perfectly buying a amd cpu.

a newb is not short for noob since it has the exact same syllable count.

"Noob" is generally used when you are trying to mock or offend someone. It is inherently unpleasant to hear and thus regarded as offensive. Please take some time to rephrase yourself next time. Use "Novice" or "Beginner" as more accurate representations of what you are trying to say.

No, dead means there's nothing good / it's too old. Alive but growing old is different. The newest 1150 chips are only like <1.5 years old.

Tight budgets for builds that you plan to upgrade in a year or 2 is fine. Starting off with AMD isn't that bad. Honestly no one should get anything from the fx series, except the fx 6300

FX 6300 is  tosh.

Athlon X4 860K is better and so is any i3.

Not short for but another word for and what I say in my vocabulary is my option.

[don_svetlio]

It might be your opinion but the way the rest of the world regards it is another matter hence why you should rephrase unless you prefer sounding arrogant and offensive.

But that's your fault that you misinterpreted what I meant.
