AMD vs Intel for DX12

[NoTrollOK]

Hello LTT and World,

I have a question about the AMD FX 8320 and Intel Core i5 4460.

I actually thinking that FX series CPU could regain it's name on DX12 as it use all availible cores for model rendering.

Parts for each CPU

CPU : AMD FX 8320

Mobo: Asrock 990FX Extreme3

Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo (Planning for OC)

CPU : Intel Core i5 4460

Mobo: Msi Z97 PC Mate

Cooler: Stock (as this chip as expensive as F*** on Malaysia)

Others: (Apply for every CPU)

RAM:Kingston HyperX 4GBx2

GPU:Sapphire Radeon R9 280X

SSD:Kingston V300 120GB

HDD:WD Caviar Blue 1TB

Case:Aerocool GT Advance

PSU:Corsair CX500M

Hard to say at this point but most likely Intel if only considering currently release products.

8350 is significantly more powerful than the 4460 (it's around 60% more powerful after overclock), but has no upgrade path. If you're on a budget, and doing heavy CPU workloads, the 8350 would be your choice.

Why are you choosing a Z97 for a 4460? Specific feature set?

Hello LTT and World,

The FX chips may be able to perform a little better under DX12, but that's only for games that can utilize more than 4 threads, otherwise an i5 is still going to beat them out.

Were you going to buy a new rig or something? What's your budget? and Country

Nope..ipc is too slow for it to ever catchup.

Here's an issue: You said it's 60% more powerful after an overclock. How much of an overclock? 50MHz, 100MHz? It's too generic. Furthermore, depending on the number of threads, the 4460 will beat the 8350.

I used userbenchmark.com to get that number, so it's an "average" overclock. EDIT: maybe I'm wrong, it's a high overclock score, doesn't matter much though, 50% is still a pretty damn big difference

Also, the 4460 is only 11% more powerful when using 4 threads.

So....4.2GHz? 4.4GHz?

I edited the response out, I was wrong at first, check out the picture

The "average user bench" probably around 4,3 gHz considering some people don't overclock.

From the same site, I grabbed the top results from each... 5.2GHz on the 8350 and 4.0GHz on the 4460.  It seems you can push the 4460 some.  This shows around a 35% faster 8350 when using more than 4 cores in a program.  That is a decent amount still.  I have never personally tried boosting the base clock on a Haswell, so I can't say how easy or effective it is.  If I had a 4460 and needed the speed, I would try... provided I had the cooling:
