3570k vs. 3770k

[Xtreme Gamer]

Im doing half gaming and half rendering. Question is, which would be better out of the 2? sometimes its more gaming, other times its more rendering.

[TheEpicCanadian]

i7

[cjeffcoatjr]

Neither. An 8320 would suit your needs better. 

[qwertywarrior]

3770k for more thread

[Theo]

i7 will be around 30% faster than the i5 when ALL the threads are being used 

[ttam]

Neither. An 8320 would suit your needs better. 

Not really. The only thing better is the price.

[s3ns3]

i7

[cjeffcoatjr]

Not really. The only thing better is the price.

The eight cores are better for editing, and about it is about the same as the i7 in games, give or take a few frames

[nokturrduk84]

i7 for sure!

Ok then, 3770k or 8350?

if you dont care about price, the i7 is better

Too bad they arent real 8cores, the 8350 has nothing over the i7 in terms of performance, in price it does

Ok. The eight MODULES will be better for editing, because Adobe likes more. More is better.

If you can get the 3770K it'll probably be worth while not saying that the 3570K won't do as well.

[SAV1OUR]

i use a 3570k and i can oc the hell out of that and keep it cool i would recommend it

he is talking about the i7 though, which has 8 threads and IS faster

Well that wasnt the last I had heard. Fine. You win this time.

but for the price of the 8320/50, i dont think you can get something better. Its up to the OP to decide if the price difference is worth the performance difference

What are you rendering? Programs being used?

i7 wins hands down in video rendering.

[Xtreme Gamer]

What are you rendering? Programs being used?

Games: WoW, TF2, HearthStone, HappyWheels, Surgeon Simulator, GMOD

 

Rendering Programs: PhotoShop, Premiere Pro CC, DreamWeaver, Vegas Pro 12, After Effects, Illustrator, Adobe Media Encoder.

 

Hope this helps.

I'm actually not entirely sure about this. There might be that one odd editing program that would be better with the 8350--just a thought.

If you're doing a lot of editing, get the i7. If not, the i5 is no slouch either and is still pretty decent. Remember that the i7 is just the i5 with HT.

Like I said before, Half is editing/rendering, other half is gaming.

I'm just saying either is viable. It's your money.

It's hard to see the results with online benchmark results.

The AMD vs Intel on the same render was on average a 20 second difference for a smaller file with the i5/i7's winning.

This in everything isn't much but it does add up on longer renders.

 

From our in-house testing at Falcon Northwest we did find the Intel chips had an edge for rendering, unless it's an i3 =P The Amd chips can still hold their own, and are great for the price point but I still fall back to Intel for the job.
