FX-8350 vs i5-4460

[HexNether]

Which is better, I have two options for my build and I was looking for some advice. Keep in mind I MAY oc the 8350, but I might not.

This is soley for gaming. No rendering, no servers, just gaming and a bit of schoolwork.

What will you be using the CPU for?

If you're not entirely doing content creation the 4460 is better in almost any case.

Sorry, I forgot, gaming.

[Nena Trinity]

i5-4460 is better for older games, indie games & free 2 plays but FX is decent at AAA titles, but i5 also does AAAs good!

[App4that]

Then the 4460

i5-4460 ez

[Fulgrim]

Purely gaming? the i5 4460.

 

Planning to render/livestream or do another form of content creation? get the FX8350.

The thing is, I can afford a nicer mobo, plus case and psu, and I can SLI on it (and oc). So how much better is it?

[MrChavelo]

i5.

[don_svetlio]

i5 4460.

i5-4460 is better for older games, indie games & free 2 plays but FX is decent at AAA titles, if you need to render videos to then a FX is good but for gaming only then the i5 should be great!

 

No guys, you keep trying to save AMD's name, but you keep forgetting to mention.

 

 

FX8350 is very SLIGHTLY better than 4460 in rendering. But it's a TON worse in gaming.

 

 

Just stop it. 4460 is hands down better CPU to pick in literally every build.

BS. If you want to livestream you still get 4460, because FX8350 doesn't play games well enough. Streaming is easy.

Surely the older games, f2p and indie titles would need less power anyway?

nigga, read before you speak pls dont warn me

i5-4460 ez

[Dabombinable]

They perform even worse on it.

[Clyne]

Call it a draw....sure the FX 8350 may be better in multithreaded than the i5-4460 but would you want some extra FPS, less chance of frame drops and shuttering, and better performance in gaming/single threaded? Then i5 4460.

This the 4460 100 times out of 100 over the 8350

Only old ones but the F2P and indie ones are the worst!

1. Sexism much?

2. 4460 does WAY WORSE in AAA titles quite often and I know a guy who replaced his 4460 with a i7 because it could barely play H1Z1...

3. Good luck playing my games on a 4460!

For server grade activities, the 8350 is almost 43% more powerful. But that's only when it's capable of using all 8 cores, AKA, multithreaded workloads.

 

For gaming, the i5 will be better by anywhere from 15%-40% in game performance, depending on if a game is well optimized for more cores, or less optimized to use more cores. If worse comes to worse and the game can only use a single core, then the i5 will gain the advantage with its nearly 40% better single core performance over the 8350.

 

 

 

The 8350 was never meant to be a consumer cpu. It was designed to be a cheap, 8 core server cpu. But AMD's marketing team felt it would do the company better to market it as a consumer chip, since it was the first 8 core cpu.

RIP any kind of logic.

Older games can be trouble for a high powered rig. Even games like Blood Dragon are near unplayable for my set up. Newer F2P and indie games are fine though.

That's actually not true at all. The 8350 running stock speed, against an i5 4460 at stock speed, is almost 47% more powerful in a fully multithreaded workload. I.E. in rendering or other server grade calculation activities it has the capacity to be almost 50% faster than the i5.

 

It's not a gaming chip, that's obvious. But it is however, one of the best server grade cpus under $250 hands down.

[ShadowCaptain]

I would not pick an FX8350 over an I5 4460, except in extremely niche cases, in a gaming PC I would pick the i5 every time

In real world benchmarks that is rarely the case
