Which one do you think is better for video editing? i5 4670 vs. AMD 8350

[ANNIHILATOR284]

I am thinking of going with 32 gb of ram and nvidia 650ti boost or 660 but I can't roundup mu head around which processor to buy as I am running on a tight budget.

[Kayn]

I would go with the 8350 for video editing.

[helping]

8350.

[Langdon]

8350 would be better, more cores.

[_ASSASSIN_]

FX 8350, if you are really that hardcore in editing, go for the 4770K

[Lord Pantaloons]

double thread is double

[TheSLSAMG]

8350 hands down. And did you double post, or was it a glitch? Shit happens

[terrytek]

No way. 4670

[mgsstar]

I would go with the 8350 since you can overclock it unlike the 4670.

[terrytek]

uh yeah u can with the 4670

[Maskot]

uh yeah u can with the 4670

You can OC a 4670k, not a 4670... and 8 physical cores is better than 4 physical cores all day for video editing.  You must be new here.  And might I suggest changing your planned build PSU to the RM850.

[Ryan Leech]

The 8350 hands down, you would have to overclock the 4670K like mad to even get close.

an 850watt? why would u need that much?

oh an +1 for the 8350 even if u mean the 4670k and not the 4670.

btw AMD graphics cards are going to be the way to go in video editing just so you know. opengl> cuda

He has an AX860i in his build, maybe he wants to do two way sli or even 3 way sli in the future, idk, so I just suggested the best power supply in that wattage range.  He is putting it in a 900D so I think he has plans for expansion.

Less ram, more GPU, 8350. 

[needmorewood]

i agree. 16GB of RAM, HD 7950/7870  would be my recommendation

[acepro71]

8350 is also good at gaming  

[88borus]

For strictly editing right now I would go with the i5-4670 because of the better single threaded performance. In addition it will be better in for things like most current games and encoding. However if you plan on doing any rendering go with the fx-8350, also more and more video editing applications are being optimized for multi-threading. So all thing considered I would go with a  fx-8350. I would also get an AMD card (probably 7950 or 7870) for a the OpenCL support. OpenCL out does CUDA in a lot of editing and rendering applications. In addition, if you should keep your 16GB, RAM is important for editing and rendering, you can increase your RAM but dont drop it to 8GB or below. Hope that helps

really does it cause other people say cuda out does amd cards ::? 

 

i have a 7870 and an 8350 but 

[Mixzzz]

Go for 8350 since it has better multi threaded performance. Also as other suggested go with AMD GPU. And what motherboards are you going to use?

Acepro, your not wrong, I think I may have been misleading. OpenCL is not as developed and thus a slightly less powerful of a technology as a whole. However Nvidia has reserved most of the high end compute performance for mostly Quadro cards. But if you look at compute performance benchmarks, you will find the HD 7870 will often beat the GTX 670, and usually is not too close, despite the GTX 670 costing nearly twice as much. So for the desktop GPUs OpenCL will give you better far better performance performance at a much lower cost. But for workstation grade GPUs (Quadro vs FirePros) Nvidia is the way to go. Hope that clears things up Sorry for the confusion.

ya i already know that but the most confusing thing is like i use adobe master collection cs6 

 

they say it works great on both open cl and cuda according to adobe

 

but if ull ask on forums many people will say cuda kills the competition on adobe premiere pro etc ... why is that 

 

how do u recognize like photoshop is an opencl program or not .. hope u get what i am saying sorry for bad english
