Posted May 31, 2016 Its good for video editing, not that great for gaming but will work and not sure about 3D modelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its been years since its launched and Intel had so many new lines of processors released during that time. Can those 4 cores beat a 8350 in video editing?

You have to remember that the 8 cores are not fully seperated. Each 2 cores share some of the computing units. But a 6600k will be the better choice because way better single core performance, draws less power and creates less heat GUITAR BUILD LOG FROM SCRATCH OUT OF APPLEWOOD - Ryzen Build - R5 3600 | MSI X470 Gaming Plus MAX | 16GB CL16 3200MHz Corsair LPX | Dark Rock 4 MSI 2060 Super Gaming X 1TB Intel 660p | 250GB Kingston A2000 | 1TB Seagate Barracuda | 2TB WD Blue be quiet!

Do those cores pass some threshold that a 4 core intel can perform better then those 8.And yes I know they are not real cores its just easier to say 8 then 4 with 2 modules etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 31, 2016 all depends on what would be an intel equvelent in price, if its like a I3 6xxx then go AMD if its an I5 3xxx, 4xxx or 6xxx then i would go with Intel I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays... nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

It comes with the Wraith cooler which is pretty damn good and should be plenty of LOL, Overwatch and casual video editing/3D modeling. Get a decent board like the ASUS 970 GAMING/AURA or GIGABYTE 970 GAMING. Or if you want to go "all out" the GIGABYTE 990FX GAMING. The ASRock 970A-G/3.1 is also a ood option, but not as good as the aforementioned ones. DO NOT EVER buy MSI boards for AMD FX. EVER!!!! A FX 8350 at around 4GHz will be pretty damn okay at Video Editing/3D modeling on the cheap. The only "better" thing you can get is a old XEON V3 1231. However, older XEONs cannot be OC'd. 52 minutes ago, Bananasplit_00 said: all depends on what would be an intel equvelent in price, if its like a I3 6xxx then go AMD if its an I5 3xxx, 4xxx or 6xxx then i would go with Intel there is no Intel equivalent in the same price bracket. For 3D modeling and Video editing, a FX 8350 destroys even a slightly overclocked i5 4690k. The 8350 is also unlocked and DAMN easy to OC.

So you would need to OC the 4690k to around 4GHz or more to match a 4GHz FX. But then you can just OC the FX 8350 to 4.7-5GHz and it will just destroy every i5 out there, bar maybe 5GHz 6600ks Current setup Images of setup: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/183-show-off-your-setup/?p=5872590 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 8350 will easily hit 4.7-5GHz if you got a good motherboard and good cooling. The FX 8370 is marginally faster, but cost WAY more Current setup Images of setup: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/183-show-off-your-setup/?p=5872590 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 31, 2016 See if you can grab one of these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-Xeon-E5-2670-2-60-Ghz-20-Mb-8-Core-CPU-Processor-SR0H8-115W-/191762219822?hash=item2ca5eb432e:g:d1EAAOSwll1W0DF3 Never mind, the boards are too expensive.

That will beat a 8350. Still gonna cost a bit. but it would be better.

I think it would be worth it, to not have to deal with overclocking and heat: PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1231 V3 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor ($239.99 @ SuperBiiz)Motherboard: ASRock H97 Anniversary ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($61.98 @ Newegg)Total: $301.97Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when availableGenerated by PCPartPicker 2016-05-31 05:20 EDT-0400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant CPU: AMD FX-8350 4.0GHz 8-Core Processor ($149.99 @ SuperBiiz) Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-990FX-Gaming ATX AM3+ Motherboard ($112.98 @ Newegg) Total: $262.97Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when availableGenerated by PCPartPicker 2016-05-31 06:28 EDT-0400 that Gigabyte board has VERY good features. and with the 990FX chipset it has 42 PCIe Gen2 lanes, so that equals 21 PCIe Gen3 lanes in bandwith. I urge you to read through the feature list. www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128886&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-PCPartPicker,%20LLC-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID= For a equally feature rich board (USB type C 3.1 10GB/s, ASMedia controller) but fewer PCIe Gen2 lanes and not as good overclocking you can go with this ASRock board. It is a 2x 4+1 phase setup. So "8+2". It is still enough to hit 4.7-4.8GHz at around 1.4750v without the board being at risk of taking damage. However as it is not a true 8 phase digi+ design, i wouldnt try to push for 5GHz or frequencies requiring more then 1.4750v.... PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant CPU: AMD FX-8350 4.0GHz 8-Core Processor ($149.99 @ SuperBiiz) Motherboard: ASRock 970A-G/3.1 ATX AM3+/AM3 Motherboard ($79.99 @ SuperBiiz) Total: $229.98Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when availableGenerated by PCPartPicker 2016-05-31 06:30 EDT-0400 Please note the price disparity. The XEON is a good purchase, but even with a modestly priced board, as you picked out, it still comes in at a noticeable premium over the FX. Due to lower clock speeds, it may not be faster then the FX 8350 once you get it over 4GHz.
