AMD vs Intel CPU

[Geekazoid]

Hi fellow LTT forum members,

Just curious about AMD vs Intel processors when it comes to video editing. I am aware that AMD CPUs have a high TDP so, from what I've read on here, an after market cooler would be good pairing with an AMD CPU. To be perfectly honest though I am an Intel fan, as that's what I've grown up with, I've currently got selected for my build, as you can see below in my sig, the i5 4670K. I'm just wondering, considering I'm on a budget, how well would say an AMD FX 8350 fair against the 4670K when video editing in Sony Vegas. Are there any benchmarks that show any significant performance increase with the AMD FX 8350 vs the i5 4670K?

Thanks in advance for any help guys.

But for short the FX-8350 can in some situations outperform the i5 4670K in real world situations due to having 8 cores and if you are on a budget I advise you to buy the FX-8350

Ah! Was just on there. But if I want a Sony Vegas comparison I may have to look on Youtube. Thanks anyway for your help.

You should check how optimized Sony Vegas is for multi-core but you should expect to have about the same performance in either the Intel or AMD processor with the advantage of saving some money by going with the AMD CPU

Hmm..okay. I have seen some benchmarks that favour the i5 4670K with the i5 coming out on top.

Nope! No trolling here.

fx8350 in video editing you are going to want the extra cores unles i7

3930k ftw

3930k ftw

3930k FTB (can you guess what that one means). Just being silly. Tis way outta my bugdet.

Which AMD motherboard is best out of these motherboards?

I would go with the Gigabyte board myself, but that is far below your budget.

Yeah I'm a fan of Gigabyte. Good choice (haha).

See if you can find a Gigabyte 990FX, that would be best for your price range.

[João Severino]

Go with either the ASUS M5A99FX-PRO-R2  or the Gigabyte GA-970A-D3P

But try to get a 990FX chipset

You know, even if I know that a complete AMD build would be faster than an Intel build I would find myself picking the Intel build because I just prefer Intel. It may be illogical but really just prefer Intel and NVIDIA.

F the budget?

Haha...no. That's funny though! But it was kind of lame. For The Bin, instead of For The Win.

i think you want a i7 like posted before but that depends on your budget and if you want to oc them or not ?

and for video rendering i can recommend a firepro from AMD aswell but they are expensive.

Just did a five min skit with vegas 12 greenscreen render to 720p@30fps. I tried it on my 2700k and cancelled it when it showed over 5h to complete. On the GTX Titan it was 5 min and a few seconds. Ati with open cl is said to be much quicker though

Okay so from a gaming side, the FX-8350 is like within margin of error within I5's at least on Windows 8 and in most games (except for wow).  The FX-8350 setup is def cheaper than the I5 and has better multitasking.  So I would def give my recommendation there.  Hope this helps
