I usually run i7 but i built my son an nice AMD mostly because of the price and i had never built an AMD before. I have since built a couple of them and I have to say it puts out some great power. It keeps up with my i7 no problem and he can play anything that I play. I havent noticed any heat issues at all which is something I was worried about AMD as thats the 1 thing i always read or hear about with AMD is heat problems. I havent ran into any yet and its a solid build.

What i7 are you using if an 8350 can keep up with it?

There is no fucking way that an 8350 can keep up with an OVERCLOCKED 6700k. It has trouble keeping up with a Pentium G4560 IIRC.

my skylake isnt overclocked and it keeps up with me no problem. honestly i dont notice much of a difference in gaming.

 

My skylake 6700k is also only 4 cores that AMD 8350 has 8. my i7 has alot of bells and whistles that obviously my sons doesnt but its mostly just overkill and has alot of power that isnt utilized because, well nothing uses as much power as i can put out. therefore it keeps up for now just fine and is great for the money

in single threaded applications sure. If you can use all the cores they do quite well. The G4560 is 34% better in single threaded but 71% slower in multi threaded. The 6700 k is 69% faster in single and 43% fast in multi.

 

Seeing as gaming is the main case, if the game is mostly GPU bound I have doubts about an 8350 keeping up with an i7.

Yeah i see what you're saying and i guess i should say that i just looked and the setting are on very high on games on the 8350 and ULTRA on the i7. on ultra there is FPS drop on very high it stays at a steady 60 FPS and this was in Ghost Recon Wildlands. I was getting 30 FPS in Star Citizen (that could be the game though its pre alpha or whatever) and about the same FPS in that game on my i7
