A10-5800k vs I5-4690k vs Athlon X4 860k

[N99024]

So I'm posing this question as to answer if there is a noticeable difference between CPU's. Im not trying to start a war on this at all.

So why im asking this is because the way I understand it from one of the videos i watched(dont remember exactly which one it is) all K series CPU's are overclockable. However all of them have varying speeds and prices, the Athlon X4 860k is a 3.7 GHz that costs ~$72. And has no L3 cache(I don't know if this really matters). The A10-5800k is a 3.8 GHz that also has no L3 cache and costs ~$124. And the I5-4690k is a 3.5 GHz it does have a L3 cache and costs ~$220. All of these CPU's will with the same amount of ram, Storage and have the same GPU running, case and power supply. Motherboards are different only because of the different sockets they all go into.

All of information on these parts have been worked out on another thread, I you want to see it, Click here. Its obvious I still have some work to sort out.(PcPartPicker was used)

So I would like to know if any of these CPU's could create possible bottle necks(As this PC will be my Editing/Gaming rig) or will have a effect on performance at all. All of these CPU's I do aim at some point to overclock, but its not going to be a very high amount, generally around ~4.0 GHz. If you have any Real Experince or know where to find information that could help explain this that would be great. Thanks

The intel is going to perform better in every scenario.

Simply put, yes.

Complexly put, scenarios matter.

The Intel will be a whole ton faster but also costs quite a bit more.

the 4690k will smash those two CPUs in any scenario...

AMD's current CPUs simply have no chance against even i5s in most cases, their per core performance is something like 30-40% slower per Ghz.

The only workloads where AMD stands any chance is like certain Winrar stuff with the 9590s which no one should ever buy, and like maybe heavy virtualization workloads with either the FX 8 cores, or their Opterons.

Now as far as gaming goes, most games don't really even need too strong a CPU, so in some cases even with like a 290, the AMD quad core will tie with an i5

The 4690k will destroy both those AMDs cpu but it will cost 2.5 times as much. 

The 860k is however very good for budget gaming. An 860k + a r7 370 makes a nice combo.

Recomended max GPU paring for each of those CPUs and I'll throw in a few cheaper intel ones:

4690K/6600K/4460/6400/6500: Any GPU

4170/6100: 970/390

860K: 960/380

A10 5800K: it's not really meant to be paired with a GPU, and is meant to rely on it's internal one.
