even older i5s outperform the fx.

In the end it all comes down to gaming performance vs video editing. Id pick gaming performance any day.

id personally pick the xeon since most games in the future will use more threads like BF1 with their frostbite engine

I want to know which one is better for gaming i5 (anymodel) vs fx 8370, If either one is better can you please tell me by how much, Also this is for gaming, recording, and kinda editing purposes

Skylake i5 definitely is faster CPU for gaming FX 8370 is clearly bottleneck for new high end GPUs.

The FX lineup is 5 years old and about 3/5 the cost. You get what you pay for. If you need raw multithreaded performance the FX line is still actually a great value and the 6300 is actually better than the I3 line due to their stuttering issues.

 

 

I digress though. Do go for the I5 if youre doing Gaming mostly but if you want a budget render machine a 8370 isnt a terrible option.

Considering the difference between an FX8370 and i5 2500K....http://www.cpu-world.com/Compare/438/AMD_FX-Series_FX-8370_vs_Intel_Core_i5_i5-2500K.html, and that the i6 6500 is a lot better than the 2500K.....http://www.cpu-world.com/Compare/490/Intel_Core_i5_i5-2500K_vs_Intel_Core_i5_i5-6500.html

No its not. Its not much better than the old i5 2500K multithreaded. And the FX series's stuttering issues are far worse due to the way CMT works....http://www.cpu-world.com/Compare/367/AMD_FX-Series_FX-8370_vs_Intel_Core_i5_i5-6500.html

Both i5 6600K and i7 6700K will not bottleneck even a gtx 1080. But, any amd processor to date will. Intel has much faster single core performance, and has been better than amd since sandy bridge 5 years ago.

 

Buying a amd processor for a gaming pc today is pure nonsense, and has been for 5 years. Pick i5 6600K or i7 6700K.
